A military specialist from the United States, Sebastian Roblin, on the 19FortyFive portal, called a threat to NATO in the event of a conflict with Russia.
The author of the material suggested that the Baltic countries could theoretically become the cause of the war between Russia and the North Atlantic Alliance. In the event of such a scenario, missile systems installed in the Kaliningrad Region, the westernmost region of Russia, will be an obstacle to the movement of air, sea and land forces through Poland and Lithuania.
In addition, Russian intelligence radars will be a problem for the alliance forces, since their location will provide them with the collection of strategically important intelligence, Roblin believes.
The author of the publication also expressed the opinion that the threat that allegedly comes from the Kaliningrad region for the alliance's military in the event of an armed conflict is so great that NATO will have to resort to a "siege" of the region.
Earlier, the head of the European Council, Charles Michel , said that the European Union accuses Russia of unleashing a "chain of conflicts" both in the immediate vicinity of its borders and far beyond them. He stressed that the EU often reacted to some steps of Moscow, rather than taking proactive actions. Therefore, he called on the countries of the association to decide what they want from Russia, and in accordance with this, to determine strategic goals for relations with Moscow.
