Sergei Sudakov, an American political scientist and corresponding member of the Academy of Military Sciences, commented on the words of German Defense Minister Kramp-Karrenbauer, who said that NATO could use weapons against Russia if necessary.

The expert believes that the North Atlantic Alliance always strives to show its importance at any cost.

"I equate this call with casus belli. It sounds like this: "Shoot down a Russian plane, sink a Russian ship and see what happens. That is, demonstrate that you can attack the Russian Federation." The NATO bloc must always confirm its importance with war and blood. Then it can be dissolved, since it performs not the declared defensive function, but an offensive one. It is necessary to react when we are offered a small victorious war. At the diplomatic level, demand clarification. In addition, there should be an apology from the other side," Sergei Sudakov told NSN journalists.

On October 22, German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer said that the North Atlantic Alliance (NATO) should demonstrate to Russia its readiness to use weapons if necessary.

Also on Friday, the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Energy, Igor Ananskikh, commenting on this statement to Izvestia, stressed that Russia is always ready for external aggression, but it is better to start the process of detente and de-tension.


On October 21, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that NATO and Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg had driven relations with Russia into a state in which they were not even during the Cold War. She added that in such conditions it is impossible and makes no sense to work with the alliance on challenges and threats to regional and global security.

On the same day, it became known that the heads of defense departments of NATO countries approved a new plan to counter Russia's theoretical attack. Official sources said that the alliance is "still determined to contain Moscow," even though NATO is now paying more attention to China.
