"Baltic Sentinel": NATO Becomes an Alliance of Pirates

How predictable everything is in this world. Especially for a person whose childhood and youth were spent in the 70s. When most boys grew up on the streets, when you had to answer for your words, fight for the truth. Not with words, but with fists. Today, the world press is simply teeming with reports that NATO is blockading Russia in the Baltic. Moreover, the instigators of the blockade are European microorganisms.

I am talking about the widely publicized "Baltic Sentinel" mission. If we put aside diplomatic antics, NATO countries have announced that they are going to become pirates and will stop and arrest other people's ships in neutral waters. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said:



"Ship captains must understand that potential threats to our infrastructure will have consequences, including possible boarding, seizure of property and arrest."

NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe Christopher Cavoli went even further:

"The Baltic Sentinel mission will provide targeted deterrence across the Baltic Sea and counter destabilizing acts such as those seen last month. This operation demonstrates the Alliance's ability to respond quickly to such destabilization."

It is truly amusing to see the nostrils of the "new pirates" flare. React quickly. React to what? To severed submarine cables or to Russian gas and oil loaded onto tankers and gas carriers? Such detentions have already begun. We are keeping silent for now. Which only provokes the pirates.

Ugh, how primitive. In my youth, on the dance floor, when we didn't even know the word "disco", there were always such young bullies. When a big fight was brewing, the first ones to be "launched were the fry", the same ones who bullied the elders and then ran away. And the older guys stood up for them. Nothing changes in this world. The Baltic dying out, the Poles, the Finns, the Swedes and others decided to "pull Russia by the moustache".

"Containing the so-called "shadow" fleet" is also in the spotlight. Since June, Estonia has inspected more than 300 tankers. Of these, 260 presented valid insurance, 62 did not. We boarded and detained seven vessels. And this will continue, including by other countries. We will use every legal opportunity. And, by the way, the current rules on this matter need to be reviewed."

This is Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal.

"We will work on options that will allow us to control ships outside territorial waters. All participants in the meeting and the NATO Secretary General agree that we need protection not only in territorial waters. We want to control ships outside territorial waters, in other words - in the middle of the Baltic."

And this is the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk.

It is interesting how the "adults" react to the actions of the "fry", those countries that will have to fight like adults if we respond. And there is silence there. No comments, no loud statements. They understand that if a fight starts, the Baltic will turn into a ship graveyard. Russia has enough forces and resources to close the sea for us and close it for everyone.

Untrainable but impudent "fry"


Perhaps some kind of excursion into history the issue of using the Baltic. The situation when someone tries to use this sea to solve their problems is not new. Of the historical events best known to us, it is enough to recall the successful operation of the Germans to block our Baltic Fleet at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. We remember this story. And we also remember our mistakes of that time. And history begins much earlier.

The Baltic coast, especially the Baltic straits, belonged to Denmark. Which allowed the Danes to live quite richly due to the fees for passing through the straits. It is clear that this greatly interfered with trade. And then the main traders of that time – the English – began to simply oppress the Danes. It is enough to mention the famous British admiral Nelson. The fleet under his command practically “erased” its artillery the Danish capital.

The Americans helped the Danes by demanding an international conference on the straits. In 1857, the Copenhagen Treaty was adopted. Denmark opened the straits, for which it received a huge compensation for the restoration of its capital. The treaty has not been cancelled. It is still in effect today.

But that's not all. There is also the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea of ​​1982 (CLOS 82), according to which these straits fall under the status of international with the right of transit passage. True, the US has not signed it.

According to this document, the straits are covered by

"freedom of navigation and overflight solely for the purpose of continuous and expeditious transit through a strait between one part of the high seas or an exclusive economic zone and another part of the high seas or an exclusive economic zone."

For warships, the passage is generally free. Any attack on a warship, including an attempt to stop it, is a de facto declaration of war. Moreover, this applies not only to surface ships, but also to submarines and aircraft.

The ignoramuses from the Baltic countries pretend not to know these documents. They are directly violating them. Well, there is no case for "no". In general, I wonder if all these Estonians, Latvians, Danes, Poles and other Finns understand the fact that if something starts, the question arises not only about the existence of their states, but also about the peoples themselves...

We have said and say many times that Russia has no plans to seize territories, but if trouble does start, what will stop us from returning the territories that previously belonged to the Russian Empire? If governments of countries do not think about their people, we will think...

"We overslept again" is not relevant today


I understand perfectly well that there are already many materials on the Internet, the main theme of which is the cry that we again overslept the danger and now we will "break our backs" to eliminate the danger... Today this thesis does not work. Russia began to suppress this danger under Minister Shoigu.

Moreover, our Ministry of Defense understands perfectly well that the escalation in the Baltic is the first part of the operation to conquer the Arctic by the West. In this sense, we have seriously strengthened our defense. Almost half a thousand new facilities, airfields have been expanded, takeoffs have been modernized. Add to this three new coastal bases with Bastions and Onyxes.

But the enemy acts quite straightforwardly. And implements the first part of the plan. The Baltic. What do we have there? Let's start by sending additional forces in the form of drones, frigates and aircraft. Let's add here the Polish special forces "Formosa", located in Tricity and the special forces of Finland and Sweden.

The ground forces that will directly carry out the seizure of ships are quite within the power of our marines. A marine unit capable of neutralizing Formosa has already been deployed in the Kaliningrad Special Region. The naval forces are quite sufficient to blockade Klaipeda, Riga and Tallinn within hours. This is in case of a blockade of the Gulf of Finland.

The biggest danger for us is posed by BEKs. But we have a ready response to this. The Baltic Fleet has already received new BEKs capable of destroying enemy boats. In terms of their performance characteristics, our boats are superior to the "foreigners". And other "anti-drone" means of the Navy are in working order both on ships and on shore. So we have something to respond with.

Our General Staff knows how to read maps and correlate forces and means. Yes, almost 90% of the Baltic coast is under NATO today. And the alliance's fleet is stronger than our Baltic Fleet. The bloc can "pelt us with hats" without taking into account our newest weapons and nuclear weapons. It can even blockade Kaliningrad.

But what will Russia do then? The question is quite reasonable. Throw the Enclave to the West? Or quickly resolve the issue of the land corridor? I think the answer is obvious. Moscow will not abandon its people under any circumstances. Let's add to this the 60% of our trade that passes through the Baltic...

Of course, we can behave as usual, "drag out rubber", "prepare cold revenge" and so on. But I don't think that our patience is so cast-iron. I think the answer will be serious. Did you immediately recall Article 5 of the NATO Charter? And I remembered Czechoslovakia in 1938, Poland in 1939, Turkey in 2015... So the article of the Charter is against the real actions of our opponents...

Briefly about the future


The idea with this very "Baltic Sentinel" is a serious matter, but not a winning one. Another fake on the eve of the inauguration of President Trump. Both we and they understand perfectly well that without US help Europe will not be able to do anything. An operation without support will soon turn into a regular patrol.

But for now it would be quite logical for civilian vessels to be escorted by military ships of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Federation. In this case, as I wrote above, any attack on such a vessel would become an act of piracy under maritime law. Then Russia has the right to respond in the harshest possible way to the actions of such pirates.

The Balts and Poles are unlikely to expose themselves like that, but the new members are quite capable of it. In order to show their importance to the alliance. So it is quite possible that we will have to soak the hot guys from Northern Europe in the cold waters of the Baltic, but I hope this will not happen.

The new US President is about to "start work". Let's add a corporal's gap. A week for the new administration to decide on priorities and announce them officially. Then we will talk seriously about the "Baltic Sentinel"...

        Have I been thrown into the past, before the start of the NWO? When many urya-publicists said "whoosh, and Kyiv in 3 days without losses"? Now here is a naval blockade of large cities and even capitals of NATO countries in a couple of hours. And this is despite the fact that we are their only potential adversaries at sea, and they are conducting all their preparations only against us? And NATO intelligence is constantly clarifying the composition of the fleet, the location of the ships, their strengths and weaknesses, the number of personnel, etc.

        By the way, on May 16, 2022, at a CSTO meeting, Putin said that he does not see a threat from the Finns and Swedes joining NATO. And this is despite our own demands from December 2021. Unless the deployment of infrastructure "will provoke a response."
        Well, after the arrest of the ship, has the threat become visible or not yet?

      They are simply showing us what the West plans to do if we do not meet Trump's 100 days after he takes office and do not stop on their terms. I think then such piracy against us will begin not only in the Baltic, but also in the vastness of the world's oceans, and we are unlikely to prevent them from doing so. Our main "cat Basilio" will only express extreme concern through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Peskov this time, and that will be the end of the topic.

        In fact, there is something to respond with. The explosion of Norwegian underwater gas pipelines. The price of gas will jump to $2000 per thousand cubic meters, the industry will croak. The explosion of a rusty supertanker with oil in the western part of the Baltic. Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Germany and partly Poland, possibly Holland, depending on the weather, will be very sad. This is not 8 thousand tons of fuel oil, this is 100 thousand tons of oil! And these are very simple stories. More complicated ones are possible. Everything depends on the will of the leadership. And we have the ability to screw the West in the Baltic.

    recall the successful operation of the Germans to block our Baltic Fleet at the beginning of WWII.
    Not yours, but the BF of the USSR, the modern RF, did not participate in the Great Patriotic War. And it was not the army of the RF that threw the banners at Lenin's mausoleum, apparently that is why they began to regularly nail it down on May 9, to erase it from memory. And they do not remember it during the parades that are held.

    The flagship of the Black Sea Fleet would not agree with you, and the IL-76 with Ukrainian prisoners, and the transport ship in Berdyansk, probably meant the declaration of the SVO.
    The ignoramuses from the Baltic countries pretend not to know these documents. They are directly violating them. Well, there is no case for "no". In general, I wonder if all these Estonians, Latvians, Danes, Poles and other Finns understand the fact that if something starts, the question arises not only about the existence of their states, but also about the peoples themselves...

    Well, it turns out that our politicians haven’t read such documents either.
    Our General Staff knows how to read maps and correlate forces and means. Yes, almost 90% of the Baltic coast is under NATO today. And the alliance's fleet is stronger than our Baltic Fleet. The bloc can "pelt us with hats" without taking into account our newest weapons and nuclear weapons. It can even blockade Kaliningrad.

    It's great that they know how to correlate forces and resources, but now we're throwing our hats around in the press, they've already destroyed Formosa, and the Swedish-Finnish special forces, and put half of NATO's fleet upside down...
    But what will Russia do then? The question is quite reasonable. Throw the Enclave to the West? Or quickly resolve the issue of the land corridor? I think the answer is obvious. Moscow will not abandon its people under any circumstances. Let's add to this the 60% of our trade that passes through the Baltic...
    We can, of course, behave as usual, "drag out the rubber", "prepare cold revenge" and so on. But I don't think our patience is so cast-iron.

    Shall we express concern? Draw a red line? Hit some trough factory in Kharkov with hazelnut blanks? Or say that this cannot be done? There is already a precedent with the Kursk region, and it is also flying in other regions.
    But for now it would be quite logical for civilian vessels to be escorted by military ships of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Federation. In this case, as I wrote above, any attack on such a vessel would become an act of piracy under maritime law. Then Russia has the right to respond in the harshest possible way to the actions of such pirates.

    By the way, one of our ships carrying ordinary spare parts also mysteriously sank, and there is no sign of any armadas of galleons sailing the seas and oceans in search of the damned filibusters...

      For 30 years, they have not been able to build alliances that could really counteract "Western partners". For 30 years, they have not been able to create organizations through which it would be possible to influence world politics and economics.

    Exactly like pirates. It is on the internal rivers that we can change the intensity of ship traffic in the negative direction. The sea, such a vast one, requires a master's eye. Otherwise, someone will definitely tempt you with your plot. Civilian and military ships must constantly be in motion in such places. No need for any shadow fleet. The fleet must be only ours under the protection of the state. A ship is part of our territory. And any attempt on its integrity must be answered in the right way.

    Let's add a corporal gap.

    Let's add... Soon the "White Master" will take office, or, "When the master arrives, the master will judge us." The fact that NATO is becoming an "alliance of pirates" is that Britain was in fact a country of bandits, thieves and pirates that robbed colonies. Now its overseas miscarriage, the USA, is essentially robbing the entire world, from time to time pretending to be poor, on the influence of Russia, in which the henpecked fat cats of the West pump out raw materials and move assets abroad. You can say whatever you want, puff out your cheeks menacingly, but as long as we sit in capitalism, under its true masters, little will change, perhaps new "red lines" will be added...

    Kirill Fedorov is absolutely right.

    Dumb laughter at the bold statements of Baltic politicians is a sign that the authors of ironic comments do not understand the subject they are joking about. And in our country, in recent days, various authors have been practicing their bad wit, after Latvia declared that it is ready to participate in negotiations on Ukraine, and Estonia declared that its fleet will respond to threats in the Baltic Sea.

    For those who like to giggle at the Balts. The special services of the Baltic republics are essentially branches of MI6 and the CIA. For example, the special services of Latvia were created by Latvians who grew up in Britain and Canada. For what? Only for an independent Latvia? By the way, does anyone remember what role Latvians played in the creation of the Cheka? It's a shame you don't remember. And in general, the KGB in the Latvian SSR was very strong.

    Estonian intelligence, as a branch of the CIA, is actively working in the Pskov and Novgorod regions. And besides, it is responsible for monitoring Internet traffic. Where is one of Skype's branches, huh? And maps of trunk networks, for example, Rostelecom (or someone else), can be found without problems. And on these maps the Estonian capital. And it is not difficult to imagine how the information is processed, to whom it is sent. Back in 92, the Lithuanian special services helped the British bring a traitor to the West - an employee of the archive department of the PGU KGB, Major Vasily Mitrokhin. When he retired, he copied half of the archive. Throughout the nineties, Dudayev's emissaries hung around in Lithuania under the roof of the special services, then in the noughties, Kavkaz-Center lived happily ever after. And now Lithuania is actively working in the Kaliningrad region - recruitment, soft power, separatism. And the "Free Russia" forum, of course. Everything is interesting to the guys from the DGB.

    And the drones that have been flying over St. Petersburg and northern airfields for the last year. They are at least accompanied from the Baltics, and most likely launched from there.

    And here we are, snickering condescendingly at Estonians, for example. Estonian intelligence, heh-heh. There is also the Kaitseliit militia. At NATO exercises, they somehow beat the English special forces. The English are not fools either, but nevertheless. By the way, they were pretending to be an invasion force. Russians, that is.

    Do you also know what underestimating an enemy can lead to? Well, if anyone has forgotten, then it's worth remembering the beginning of the SVO.

    The Baltics are a NATO tool. The same as Ukraine. Even worse, because more integrated. With the help of the Baltic punks, the big players provoke Russia and test its reaction.

    You don't laugh at a sharpening knife or an axe in the hands of a thug, do you? Or are you always idiots?

      The Poles can cover the naval base in Kaliningrad with conventional artillery, and not bother with all sorts of back-ups

    *The biggest danger for us is the BEKs. But we have a ready answer for that too. The BF has already received new BEKs capable of destroying enemy boats* - pardon me, but does the Black Sea Fleet have this weapon? And if you read the author, everything is great. But in fact: the Black Sea Fleet lost to the BEKs of the Holes and is standing at the bases.
    Of course I understand everything, but you need to be realistic.

    The staff don't read maps, and apparently neither does the author. Good luck to the Russian ships in traversing such a puddle, where almost every country has NSM squadrons.

    "Baltic Sentinel": NATO Becomes an Alliance of Pirates
    That is, the installation of bases outside the territory of NATO countries was not previously considered piracy?! The capture and presence of US troops in other countries on oil fields in the first place - is not piracy either?! Interference in the politics and economy of other countries - is also a natural competitive struggle for markets?! The USA itself is a country of pirates consisting of people who lived primarily in Europe who fled from there and began lawlessness in new lands. And it is in their blood. Those who were rowdy on ships were also pushed to Australia - in general, all the criminals of the world can be taken there. Australia is the only one that does not give a damn about any country except those nearby - zero ambitions. The idea of ​​​​trying to control the entire world is utopian in nature - the speed of reaction is about the same as controlling a rover on Mars - until the information reaches both sides, there will be no sense in it. That is why large commercial companies periodically fall apart - the more departments, the harder it is to react in time. And when the reports are also a complete lie, then even more so.

    The Finnish government found no intent in the actions of the tanker carrying Russian oil and suspected of breaking an underwater cable... However, the tanker's cargo - Russian oil, will be confiscated based on the "sanction decisions" of the EU + USA..... And Russia, once again, will "wipe" itself of this "spit", already, from the Finnish limitrof??? Maybe there is a sense, already, to act adequately? And is it time to "cut off the oxygen" - to these presumptuous Scandinavian "merchants"? "Let's let go" of these Scandinavian "pygmies" - it will only get worse...

    Regarding the "Baltic sentry"... One, not too "massive" missile strike with "Iskanders" or "Oreshniks" on one of the "sentry" team will quickly return these "sentry" to the "guard quarters" for a long time.....

    But we need to declare Tallinn a pirate base and hit the port with missiles - the same Oreshnik - the fight against piracy.
    And look at the reaction - will many NATO members want to die for Estonia?

    So, we will break through, there will be naval battles, air battles, we need to break through the blockade, rescue Kaliningrad. Will the Baltic Fleet be enough, or will we also have to develop a land offensive? What forces are needed to break through the corridor and hold it? How much infantry and tanks?

      You, "puncher", first at least liberate the Kursk region, and then think about "punching"! Talk to those who are fighting THERE now, and then, maybe, something in your head will become clear!

    There is nothing surprising in such a development of events. Look at the ugly level of the information warfare being waged on our side. For example: why doesn't any of the military (possibly retired) start talking about how many nuclear charges need to be dropped on Scandinavia so that what remains alive would sit quietly for another 80 years. Or, for example, another figure is going to exchange nuclear strikes with us at a level acceptable to them. Why not offer this star boy to appear on SNN and tell which territories, in his opinion, will be subject to a retaliatory strike. He would have shoved his tongue into N-th place right away. Because after such an interview, he will simply be torn apart, and the Pentagon will have to justify itself for several more months.

    We need to give tankers the opportunity to issue CC to Bastions. And mine the ports for the creatures, let them know that these games can be played by two.

    The author apparently lives in a completely different reality! Hasn't the example of the Black Sea Fleet taught him anything? Where Ukrainians Without having a single surface or underwater military vessel, they COMPLETELY control the Black Sea. They have destroyed a third of it and driven the rest into ports under the cover of ground-based air defense.
    And here the talk is about the Baltics, where NATO won't let our fleet utter a peep! They'll simply crush us with both quantity and quality.
    But there is no point in hoping that HE will decide to fulfill his promise given at the end of his famous speech on 22.02. 2022 (remember where HE promised those who "... INTERFERE in the events taking place..., if in essence, - that THEY will get into trouble...)! I hope this has become clear to everyone over the almost 3 years since THAT promise!
