Warsaw Institute: In the event of an armed conflict with NATO, Russians will take Svalbard

The Warsaw Institute, founded in 2014 and a Polish think tank actively contributing to NATO policy, publishes material on Russia and Norway. Analysts at this institute are "worried" that Russia is "militarizing" the Arctic.

An article in the Warsaw Institute published in the Polish press stated that Russia is putting pressure on Norway to strengthen its position in the Spitsbergen archipelago.

From the article:

The archipelago is not of great economic value, but for the Russian military it is an important point on the map of the Arctic, intensely militarized by Moscow. Svalbard - on the basis of an agreement - is a demilitarized zone where entrepreneurial activity is permitted. In addition to Norway, only Russia conducts such activities in the archipelago. And Moscow is trying to use the opportunity to increase its presence on Spitsbergen.

The material says that in the event of an armed conflict with NATO, the Russians will take control of the islands.

From the material of the Warsaw Institute:

By installing radars and missile systems there, the Russians will strengthen the counter zone and limit the space for maneuver of NATO forces in the Barents Sea near the main bases of the North fleet.

The article talks about the fact that the Russian Foreign Ministry expressed concern about the actions of the official Oslo, trying to limit Russian activities in Svalbard. At the Warsaw Institute, statements by the Russian Foreign Ministry were called "Russian provocation."

Warsaw Institute:

Tensions can increase even more when NATO exercises take place in Norway in March. In previous years, the Russians have already tried to thwart the Alliance’s similar efforts in the Arctic region.

At the Warsaw Institute, statements by the Russian Foreign Ministry were called "Russian provocation."

The provocation is just the Warsaw Institute and is engaged in publishing such provocative material.

[Dmitry Donskoy]

Analysts also need to work out their bread. And what is better on sale? Correct Russophobia. And Poles for happiness to bark at Russia.

[Kostyar]

Psheki, like a plug in one place .....

[krot]

In the event of an armed conflict with NATO, the Russians will take Svalbard

In the event of armed conflict, the Russians will take the whole continent!

[Sergey Olegovich]

Poland and provocation with a lie go hand in hand.

[volodimer]

Oh, these Polish analysts, then we want to capture the Baltic states, now we need Svalbard ... Do not row around our borders and sleep peacefully!

[Sidor Amenpodestovich]

Fighters of the virtual fronts. No wonder they have good video games.

[Grits]

To say "The Russians are militarizing the Arctic" is like saying "The British are militarizing the British Isles." Yes, we just live here in the Arctic! And, accordingly, we protect our territories. And if the adversary shouts that we are "militarizing", it means that we are well guarded.

Do not understand them ever ...

And to us this:
Gazeta Wyborcza (Poland): There was no whirlwind, and plans to undermine the sights of Krakow are a myth.
Historian and Krakov local historian Andrzej Chwalba, meanwhile, recalls that there is no historical evidence for the existence of Major Whirlwind. There is no evidence that this figure was anything more than the fruit of Soviet propaganda.
“The Germans did not intend to blow up either the Juliusz Slowacki Theater or the main building of the Jagiellonian University,” explains Professor Hwalba. Etc

[cniza]

Yes, after some time they completely change everything ...

[bessmertniy]

Something does not understand these Poles - or do they also want to mine coal on Svalbard !? So here it is not enough for everyone.

[rocket757]

The Warsaw Institute, founded in 2014 and a Polish think tank, is actively

It’s clear with them, just to ACTIVE blather ...

[cniza]

They want to steer in Europe, and here they are training.

[rocket757]

I want to? I would like to ... these "taxied" to the steering wheel and will not be allowed close, too "high" opinion about their abilities in the "old gamerope"!

[cniza]

Not with the Poles this does not happen, they just lose their country, but Wishlist remain with them.

[rocket757]

Shlyakh's ambition ... it's not even an anecdote, it's much more fun!

[Air force]

The truth is that they cannot see the steering wheel as their ears, the owner instills in them the sickness that they are important, and they fall for it, think something about themselves, dream, puff, and their poor fellows, as always, will "merge" and divide if necessary, in principle, as and the rest of the "Young Europeans". PS In general, the Poles are with the Lithuanians, that the Estonians are well, etc. draw plans for future wars, relying on the wars of the past, they cannot understand, they may not want that if a conflict between Russia and NATO starts, everything will be completely different, after the nuclear triads, there will be no need to capture Svalbard, who will remain more or less intact, if necessary, they will take this archipelago for nothing, and indeed who is who, but those countries on whose land there will be American bases, they will definitely not see this, well, or at least they will not have time at all. They are not given to understand the power of the future conflict, for example, to take Estonia, they also make up all sorts of plans, vang what and how it will be, and it has an armed force of 6 people and 400 in reserve, what is it all about? Without being armed with strategic nuclear forces, their brain cannot understand that one salvo, but that there is a salvo, one missile can deprive them not only of the entire army, but also of all reservists combined. So they play soldiers, draw all sorts of plans. The Poles, of course, are steeper than the Estonians, but it is difficult to simulate a future global conflict without being armed with the strategic offensive weapons that Russia has.

[Uncle lee]

And what does Warsaw and Svalbard have to do with it? ANALYTICS, damn it!

[cniza]

And to be clever?

[Ros 56]

And we’ll ruin Poland to a heap. Poles they in Africa Poles.

[Grits]

And we’ll ruin Poland to a heap.

In in. In the event of war, we take Spitsbergen, and at the same time take Poland. To not walk twice.

[Ka-52]

Analysts at this institute are “worried” about

on Svalbard there is only one Russian settlement around the mine. That's the whole "militarization". But the Poles themselves have a station there that can transmit meteorological data in PM and at the request of the military.

There are two Russian villages - Barentsburg and Pyramid. Only one is preserved. And in Barentsburg, there is precisely our weather station. Somehow, in the glorious city of Arkhangelsk, I was doing practical training, studying as a meteorologist. So I came across (vodka drank) with the men who just worked at this station on Spitsbergen.

[Ka-52]

There are two Russian villages - Barentsburg and Pyramid. Only one canned

that's why I write that ONE. After the closure of the mine, all life stopped there. And now the whole Pyramid has been reduced to a small tourist point. Therefore, what is the point of mentioning it as the village?

[Lamata]

The feeling that they just crave an attack by the Russian Federation on themselves, dream !!!

[Crimean partisan 1974]

Yeah. ... one thing is curious, it’s not a pity for someone to finance such oligophrenic analysis institutes. so presumably better take care of yourself. because if we continue to argue for yields of potatoes and wheat, we don’t see five-year-old donkeys. trample clean

In an armed conflict with NATO, Russia will immediately capture Papua New Guinea.
Analitegi are mistaken.

Exactly - it's warmer there.
My former boss, when I was working in the Arctic, when I had to walk down the street in frost, snow, wind and snowstorm, always swearing and cursing. Like, like this, at a time when all normal European powers in the era of great geographical discoveries discovered warm seas and islands, the Russians opened ... the North !!! Once in a life they sailed south, and then discovered - Antarctica!

[Lamata]

Bravo, Bravissimo

[sergo1914]

Why will they immediately take it? They won't. A referendum will be held. And Spitsbergen "will return to its home harbor." There is a difference. It is necessary to be more careful with terminology.

[DMoroz]

More careful with terminology.

Then Grumant ...

[sergo1914]

Quote: DMoroz

Then Grumant ...

Somehow I was kindly fanned over Grumant here. The fifth column is tenacious.

[DMoroz]

So, the number of backorders for any reason on the site has recently grown significantly ...

[cniza]

Few people remember what this means for Russia ...

[Mountain shooter]

Why take Grumant? They will give it back when they lose Iceland ... The Poles of Clancy have read a lot ... "Red Heat" ... When the reason for the Soviet attack on Europe was LACK of fuel due to sabotage at the Tyumen oil refinery !!! The same nonsense, though talented!

[mark1]

in case of armed conflict with NATO.

the last thing the Warsaw Institute needs to do is mourn the islands. Let the shortage of white slippers also think about the soul.

[Xnumx vis]

Nevertheless, it is not bad to place the SS-400 and the Bastions there. The islands are strategically important, another thing is that in a conflict with NATO there are much more primary tasks. Not until Svalbard ...

[sleeve]

Wow. The first step to the abolition of the demilitarization of the archipelago? Given their tendency to ignore international treaties, it is quite realistic after a massive hysteria. Well, the NATO bastion in the Arctic as a result. What a lovely guys.

[cniza]

Warsaw Institute: In the event of an armed conflict with NATO, Russians will take Svalbard

What for? They did not try to answer this question.

[Chaldon48]

Why why to scare the remnants of NATO from there.

[rotmistr60]

I would not be surprised if Warsaw soon voiced its territorial claims to the Arctic. It is striking that not a single little-bit-touted event related to Russia remains without a Polish commentary on the advice to Europe and NATO. So you want to feel like the navel of Europe that they can’t eat.

in the event of an armed conflict with NATO, Russians will take control of the islands

Proceeding from this, NATO will not be able to prevent Russia even in this case? So why bother with this whole vegetable garden with the "Russian threat" if you don't even know how to respond to it?

They lowered the mongrel from the leash, so it barks and justifies its grub.

That’s all said. It is clear where the wind blows from the slop on the fan.

[Zeev Zeev]

I would like to know how this is possible purely technically?

[orionvitt]

that in the event of an armed conflict with NATO, the Russians will take control of the islands.

In the event of an armed conflict with NATO, Russia will take a lot of control. I will not list, the list is large. And some people, by the way (the most barking and kakachie), may lose their statehood, in the sense that they imagine it.

[faterdom]

We better capture the Warsaw Institute. We need his talented scientists. At work in the mines of Svalbard.

Warsaw Institute: In the event of an armed conflict with NATO, Russians will take Svalbard

The Russians will take the moon in case of conflict, the moon.

[Lelek]

The material says that in the event of an armed conflict with NATO, the Russians will take control of the islands.

Yes Yes. As soon as we get out of bed in the morning, we immediately think - and not whether we should take Svalbard, and in addition to Papua New Guinea. And what's wrong, over there in Limpopo we put our little man - Aibolit as president, tomorrow we will put there S-800 with nuclear warheads aimed at Warsaw, then you will dance, shanovna panstvo, whistle to you and your "Nat". Wait.

[NF68]

Russia has no other business. They sleep and dreams see how they take Svalbard, and everything else is sideways.

[iouris]

And they won’t take Warsaw?

[ugol2]

Warsaw Institute:
In the event of an armed conflict with NATO, the Russians will take the Warsaw Institute!
Well, give us some money ...
