Not sure who’s suggesting Russia actually has any offensive capability against NATO at the moment. They clearly don’t, and have actually been moving units away from their western frontier to shore up operations inside Ukraine.
NATO military manoeuvres in the Baltics are about speaking the language Putin understands. His invasion was predicated on the belief that Nato is weak, indecisive and internally divided. It’s good politics to ensure he understands that even low-level mischief making would be unwise.
