A wave of drones targeting airports, threatening critical
infrastructure and potentially endangering the lives of civilians
brought a number of Nato countries briefly to a standstill this
past month. The presumed gift of President Putin, this deniable
activity was straight out of the Kremlin playbook. But was the
primary purpose to disrupt for disruption's sake, to probe the
weaknesses in Nato's defensive lines or - ultimately - to sow the
seeds of a split within the Alliance? As Nato ponders its
response, Tom and Patrick explain the 'vertical' and 'horizontal'
options available to it, debate whether the West should deter or
punish Russia, and ask whether we are now effectively at war?
