Why Putin May Attack Europe Next

Momocracy

People keep asking whether Russia would really attack Europe.

But the real question is:
Does Putin believe NATO would hesitate?

In this video, we break down:
why 2026 may be a dangerous geopolitical window,
how Trump weakened NATO psychologically,
U.S. troop withdrawals from Europe,
the Greenland tensions inside the Western alliance,
why authoritarian systems escalate when they feel weak,
Russia’s pattern of external conflict during internal instability,
hybrid warfare already happening across Europe,
and why Putin may not need to defeat NATO — only test it.

This is not a prediction that World War III is guaranteed.

It’s an analysis of why the current geopolitical moment may look uniquely tempting from the Kremlin’s perspective.

Topics covered:
Russia, NATO, Putin, Trump, Europe, Finland, Baltics, Greenland, troop withdrawals, Ukraine war, hybrid warfare, authoritarian psychology, geopolitics, NATO Article 5, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia vs Europe analysis.
