, a miscalculation from either side during the tense struggle could risk dragging NATO into the conflict.
"The intelligence community has assessed that the transfer of MiG-29s may be mistaken as escalatory and could result in significant Russian reaction that might increase the prospects of a military escalation with NATO," Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby told reporters Wednesday."Therefore, we also assess the MiG-29s to Ukraine to be high-risk."
"Usually the path of the escalation is difficult to predict, it can come out of nowhere in the fog of war," Koffler said. "The Russians are predisposed to worst-case scenario, their intelligence assessments say that a war between the U.S. and Russia is inevitable, they already believe it," Koffler said.
