   NATO Considers Strikes Deep Inside Russia

   NATO is reshaping its defense plans to target Russia's interior. The new plan includes conventional strategic strikes deep inside Russia if a member state is attacked. This development has raised concerns about the risk of nuclear confrontation between NATO and Russia.
