U.S. Air Force Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, NATO's supreme allied commander in Europe, told the Warsaw Security Forum in Poland on Monday that if an adversary presses an attack, "we will break the warfighting system engaged against us," including "anything and everything that supports, sustains, and controls that force," Fox News reported. He described a strategy of "blocking, blunting and breaking" enemy forces. The warning came after a series of drone incursions and suspected sabotage that European countries have linked to Moscow.
