US press: In the event of a conflict with Russia, NATO must "neutralize" Kaliningrad

142

In the event of an armed conflict with Russia, NATO can get hit almost from its own territory, the alliance's command should not forget about the Kaliningrad region - a Russian exclave located almost in the center of Europe. To eliminate this danger, Kaliningrad must be neutralized, writes the author of an article for the American publication 19Fortyfive.

Sarah White, a senior research analyst at the US Lexington Institute, urged NATO not to forget about the grouping of Russian troops stationed in the Kaliningrad region, located almost in the center of Europe. In her opinion, at the beginning of hostilities against Russia, Kaliningrad can deliver "a lot of headaches" to NATO, so this threat must be neutralized.



The American expert suggests entrusting the task of destroying the Russian group to Poland and Lithuania - two NATO states, next to which the Russian exclave is located. However, this will be very difficult to do, she warns, Russia has well fortified Kaliningrad, placing there a powerful group armed with various weapon. Of particular concern to White are Russia's Iskander-M "ballistic missiles" with nuclear warheads, cruise missile-carrying fighter jets, and ships of the Baltic fleet.

The expert emphasizes that it will be difficult for Poland and Lithuania to cope with Russian missiles, therefore it is urgently necessary to strengthen the air defense of these states, as well as deploy weapons capable of fighting Russian weapons on their territory. We are talking about Patriot anti-aircraft systems - the only system "capable of neutralizing" Iskanders, fifth-generation fighters F-35 and tanks M1 Abrams.

Poland has already purchased all this, but has not yet deployed it on its territory. But with Lithuania everything is more complicated, it does not have the funds to purchase the appropriate weapons. Therefore, the analyst suggests, the US and NATO should consider deploying Patriot complexes and short-range missiles in Lithuania.

In the meantime, the Baltic is NATO's weak point and, in the event of a Russian invasion, it will not be able to offer worthy resistance, especially if the blow comes from two sides at once. Therefore, NATO needs to take measures to neutralize Kaliningrad in advance, the analyst sums up.

    In the case of the "neutralization of Kaliningrad", there will eventually be nuclear ashes over the whole world, and journalists (if they stay) will write articles from bunkers with a can of canned food in their hands, and then, if they're lucky.

        Sarah White, Senior Research Analyst at the US Lexington Institute, wrote a CUSTOM marketing article from the US military advertising American weapons.

        REFERENCE
        The Lexington Institute was founded in 1998 by former U.S. Representative James Courter (R-NJ), former congressional aide Merry "Mac" Carey, and former Georgetown University professor L.B. Thompson, who are respectively Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Institute.

        The think tank is based in Arlington and focuses on defense policy. Sometimes described as conservative.

        The Lexington Institute is partially funded by the military services.
        "Harper's Magazine" named the organization "DEFENSE INDUSTRY REPORTING AGENCY" due to its funding by the industry and the release of a flood of messages, usually favorable, on the performance and status of weapons programs.

        In addition to his role as Chief Operating Officer of the Lexington Institute, L.B. Thompson is a military service consultant. Thompson stated:
        "I'm not going to work on a project unless someone wants to pay. It's a business. My point is, if what I write and say is true, it doesn't matter what my motives are."

        Having conquered the Baltic states from the Swedes, Peter not only expanded the door to Europe, but also ensured a strategic position in the Baltic, as well as protection from the western direction of both capitals. Having artificially organized the Baltic countries on Russian soil, the West leveled these advantages, and if it deploys strike weapons in the Baltic states, the Russian Federation will face the question of solving the Baltic problem point-blank.
        Providing a corridor to the Kaliningrad exclave partially solves the problem, but it will not relieve tension.
        Solution hypotheses:
        1. Appeasement and abundant funding, more than the West, of the Baltic regimes, in order to obtain reciprocal loyalty and reduce Russophobia.
        2. liquidation of the Baltic states, carrying out denazification of the population.
        In the future, there remains the danger of the restoration of statehood in the future.
        3. Territorial demarcation of the Baltic states. The division of the territories of the non-republics in half, into Russian and national territories, with local displacement of the population, Russians into the Russian half, nationals into the national one. It is possible to exchange the territory of the Kaliningrad region for a similar territory of one of the Baltic sub-republics, the territory of which directly borders on the Russian Federation. The problem of protecting and supplying the exclave is being solved, the territory of a potential enemy is being reduced, and the problem of the genocide of the Russian population of the Baltic states is being solved.

      There will be no "neutralization" of Kaliningrad. If the bourgeoisie themselves are talking about "an armed conflict with Russia"
      Kaliningrad will simply cease to be an exclave. And about the "Baltic republics", Lithuania, in particular, and other Poland, whose territory America plans to use as a springboard for aggression against Russia, simply no one else will remember. As it was never on the map ...

A decrease in the average annual temperature over one hemisphere by 10-15 degrees will obviously change a lot, then, as it is in the stratosphere with the direction of the winds, otherwise it will drag soot there, and if you fire a couple of 20 Mgt TNBCHs in Yellowstone, it will not be good even in Antarctica

      In this case, I propose to immediately strike preemptively at the UK! Wipe one of the most Russophobic states in Europe from the face of the Earth and watch how Lithuania and Poland rush to attack (piss their pants) on the Kaliningrad region, avenging their NATO friends.

      By the way, good idea. Do not exchange nuclear strikes with the states, and in the event of a mess, simply wipe the island of Great Britain from the map. Part to drown, part to glaze, part to desert. And after the ashes settle, politely ask - who is next - do you want to exchange blows? And footage from space...

          And why not have time? The decision on this will be made by the SSBN commander if communication with the shore is lost. Simply open the safe on the CPU and get the Prime Minister's letter with launch codes and target coordinates.
          And after firing off the ammunition, he was ordered to either place the submarine under the command of the United States or leave for Australia.

            You don’t think that ICBMs will simply be fired towards the UK and a hit will be expected with bated breath?
            It all works a little differently. An ICBM strike operation is being prepared. The location of all 4 British nuclear submarines is determined in advance by means of a heat trail from satellites, as well as in other ways. Enemy nuclear submarines are being monitored by both submarine and surface forces. If we are talking about a preemptive strike, then all four enemy nuclear submarines will be destroyed long before their commanders understand what is happening at all.

    It's time to neutralize the US. This is a veiled threat of attack. How can you be afraid of defensive systems.

    At this attack, Russia must declare that it does not mind if the lands of Selesia, Pomerania, and some of the lands of Prussia go to Germany.

    My congratulations to VO for discovering news from the next "senior analyst". This is it about their submarines:
    writes Sarah White, senior research analyst at the Lexington Institute, in her column for the American edition of 19FortyFive.
    The location of these submarines is rarely confirmed because their missions are secret and the Navy prefers not to reveal any details of their operations. However, it is safe to assume that at least one Virginia-class submarine is deployed in the Mediterranean at any given time. The state-of-the-art capabilities of these submarines, combined with the versatility of their design, make them unique in addressing many diverse geopolitical challenges in the Mediterranean and adjacent regions. Without a doubt, these nuclear submarines will become a vital weapon and will be of the greatest value for countering Russia in the Mediterranean, given that Moscow has acquired a permanent base in Syria and an entire squadron in this area.
    And then once, sorry, farted and woke up famous, already and ....
    19Fortyfive columnist Sarah White voiced NATO's plan to "neutralize" Kaliningrad
    ....... and involved in the voice acting... recourse

    Russia will be forced to create and deploy types of weapons that can be used not only in relation to those territories from which a corresponding direct threat will come to us, but also in relation to those territories where decision-making centers are located for the use of missile systems that threaten us

      France and England only. They have a fleet of nuclear, ocean, missile-carrying. Well, a powerful submarine fleet. In total, both countries have a fleet comparable to the Russian Navy.
      8 SSBNs;
      1 nuclear aircraft carrier;
      1-2 medium aircraft carriers;
      2-3 helicopter carriers;
      a large number of ships in the ocean zone;
      Over a dozen multi-purpose nuclear submarines;
      A large number of naval aircraft.

          If, in terms of the number of drugs, we combine the Ground Forces of Britain and France + its Foreign Legion, then I think the number is comparable to ours.
          It's the same for the Marine Corps.

    I don’t want to divert the conversation into this plane, but no matter what they say about their extermination and small numbers, it creates a strong impression that these Sarahs, "M1 Abramsy" and all sorts of Moishes are still in the majority there. And not only in the USA. And in all significant and leading positions.

    It is necessary that it is necessary. That's just how? How will they do it? If they could, they would have neutralized it long ago.
    In short, it's time for NATO to rest. The doctor said to the morgue - that means to the morgue.

    what kind of press published it, what kind of 1945 edition is this? the author is a cowboy or a village drunk or a grass smoker of some kind, where and how did she call for NATO? Who is stuffing all this nonsense here? The Lexington Institute is partially funded by military contractors. Harper's magazine called the organization "the defense industry's pay-per-play advertising agency" due to its industry funding and the release of a flood of reports, usually favorable, on the results and status of weapons programs.[6] In addition to her role as chief operating officer of the Lexington Institute, Lauren B. Thompson is a consultant to military contractors.[7] Thompson stated: "I'm not going to work on a project unless someone somewhere is willing to pay. It's a business. My conclusion is that if what I write and say is true, then it doesn't really matter." What are my motives"[8].

    What is most interesting in all this schizophrenia is the reasoning of "experts and ANALitegoff" about "protection from Russia", but at the same time reasoning about how to strike the first blow.
