- Kasparov does not expect a large-scale Russian invasion because, in his assessment, Putin lacks the necessary resources, but considers an armed provocation conceivable.
- He cites Daugavpils in eastern Latvia as an example, where a high share of residents are Russian-speaking; an attack there could aim to create the impression that NATO does not function.
- Kasparov points to earlier violations of NATO airspace and incidents at sea borders, while stressing that he was discussing possible future action rather than a decided attack.
- He doubts that Washington would fulfill its commitments and suspects a response could depend more on individual NATO states than on the alliance command, thereby questioning Article 5's deterrent effect.
