Baltic states ignore basic principles of European security
Baltic states criticize Russian Federation’s participation in a European security conference and irresponsibly try to boycott the OSCE.
How would NATO deliver F-16s and where exactly would they be based? Neighboring Poland and Romania both operate these jets and already have the necessary infrastructure, making them the likeliest candidates for stopgap basing. In addition, Slovakia and Bulgaria are in the process of acquiring F-16s and are rapidly building similar infrastructure, meaning they too are able to do the same or at least they will be soon. However, will Russia really tolerate this, considering that F-16s using NATO airbases would make them a party to the conflict?

Attacking Iran seems to be a very tempting prospect for Washington DC, as it would effectively "kill two birds with one stone" by making both SCO and BRICS+ look "weak" and unable (or even unwilling) to defend their new members. The US very likely believes this could be a deadly blow to the rapidly emerging multipolar world that will inevitably dismantle the existing "rules-based world order".
