US press presented a scenario of a possible war between Russia and NATO
A possible war between Russia and NATO will be dire. It can turn into "real horror."
This opinion was expressed by the journalist Stavros Atlamazoglu in an article published by the American edition 19FortyFive.
The US press notes that the Russian military has significant advantages. Indeed, in recent years, Moscow has stubbornly modernized and strengthened its armed forces, while the United States and its allies are mired in regional conflicts around the world - in Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries. And although they received real combat experience, it is unlikely to come in handy in armed clashes with such powerful opponents as Russia or China.
According to Atlamazoglu, military actions between the Russian Federation and the North Atlantic Alliances, if this happens, will begin either in the Baltic Sea region or in the Black Sea region. At the same time, he believes that NATO's strategy does not imply the first to start a conflict, because, according to the journalist, it provides for exclusively defensive or retaliatory actions. From this he concludes that only Russia can act as an aggressor in a possible war, and this gives it certain advantages. Apparently, the foreign observer does not want to remember how many wars on Earth were initiated by the NATO countries.
The most important thing, writes Atoamazoglu, is that the parties to the conflict will in no case use nuclear weapons. weaponso that it does not grow from regional to global. The conflict scenario is nuclear-free. Where the American newspaper columnist got such confidence is not entirely clear.
Earlier in the American media there were other versions of the scenario of a possible military confrontation between Russia and NATO. One of them is a clash in the Arctic with the use of missile weapons. Now - options with the Baltic and the Black Sea region.
