The blockade of Kaliningrad. Unscientific science fiction

176
The frank exacerbation of the situation on our borders in the area of ​​the states of the border countries (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland) made us think over the perennial question "Who benefits?" It is clear to whom it is profitable, and so it is, but how and why? And, most importantly, what to expect from outright hysteria around Russia?



Reasonable people, even living in the above four (and there, no doubt, there are such), it is clear that Russia will not attack anyone. Due to the complete inappropriateness. However, the maneuvers are a series, and the maneuvers, you know, are not at all defensive in any way.

In general, it would be possible to say more in detail about this, but it suffices to ask one single question: who has defended NATO in recent years for 30? And that is all.

So, no one will be defended now. And if there is no defense ... Further, I think everything is clear and true.

But all these movements of the mighty Baltic armies, the deployment of military contingents and armored vehicles so far arouses on the Russian side only either laughter or concern. No more.

However, the increased pushing of Finland and Sweden into NATO makes us think very hard about the consequences.

One cannot argue that in NATO very often “dull” by Zadornov sit. Not. There are quite professionals who can draw conclusions from previous situations. And they are well aware of the current state of affairs in Russia.

And there is an opinion (and it is not only my personal one) that behind all these jumps and grimaces there can be more than a concern for the fate of the poor border countries, who are again threatened by Russian occupation. Namely, a far-reaching mnogohodovka, the purpose of which is our western enclave. Kaliningrad.

In general, Kaliningrad has a lot in common with the Crimea. Only the situation is much worse geographically. Russia is too far, anyway. The bridge is not laid, and the cable does not throw. And the environment is worse not to find, completely from galloping and "loving."

And then the unscientific nefi-fiction begins. Vangovanie if you want. Which, however, has a certain meaning. I will explain why.

Today it is already possible to say with confidence that the situation with the Crimea has almost settled down. And in fact, the whole world has come to terms (forgive my tautology) with the fact that Crimea is Russia. And that there is no way to cope with any blockades, if only because it is unrealistic to block the peninsula in the sea, where the Russian Navy is ruled by a ball. And in the Crimea itself there is enough power and technology to reach Kiev or Bucharest. And it will be enough - during the day you can throw.

With Kaliningrad everything is much more complicated and sad.

First, a few questions for overclocking.

1. Are sabotage actions in the territories of the above countries, directed towards the Kaliningrad region, modeled on the Crimea possible?

The answer is yes. Finding modern “forest brothers” in Lithuania is easy. And undermine a pair of power lines, too. Another thing is that, in contrast to the Crimea, Kaliningrad is energy independent, moreover, in 2014, it even exported electricity to the same Lithuania. But such actions on the "Crimean scenario" can affect, and significantly, the balance of the system, tied exactly to the Lithuanian networks.

2. Is land blockade of Kaliningrad possible?

The answer is yes. Moreover, spent by Poland. I do not mean the blockade of "Night Wolves", but perennial altercations about the cargo transit between Poland and Russia. As for Lithuania, then everything is transparent. Will order from above - the borders will be closed. And the reason ... the reason today is easy to find. And there, from where the order will be given, no doubt will find it.

3. Is a sea blockade of Kaliningrad possible?

Not at the moment. However, if Finland and Sweden decide to join NATO, any possible development of the situation is possible.

In general, if we speak about the naval blockade and all the consequences related to this issue, then difficulties may arise. The Gulf of Finland is still the gut in which you can quite easily arrange a provocation in terms of shipping. And there and before breaking the border of someone from the neighbors hand in hand.

Which of these can benefit, I do not dare to say yet. But according to the experience of the last century, I can say that Russia and the USSR were quite successfully blocked in the Gulf of Finland.

4. Is air blockade of Kaliningrad possible?

Obviously possible. Close to its airspace for Russian aircraft can any of the countries. How did Ukraine. Base? And who needs a foundation today, especially if there is a master's order?

Moreover, the practice of the Turkish incident showed that if you really want to shoot down someone's plane, then there are no particular problems. According to the Turkish scenario, issue a couple of protests, and then calmly slam a rocket around the plane. And not necessarily fighting. The main thing is to have a reason. For example, if an airplane wing on the 3 seconds goes beyond the line of the air border.

Proceeding from these, let's say, rather amateurish reasoning, I don’t strive to prove that tomorrow NATO will begin the blockade of Kaliningrad. I am only discussing a hypothetical possibility. It turns out that in the future this possibility may take place.

Moreover, pay attention to where the NATO soldiers have been maneuvering and learning lately? And where are the new forces introduced?

Not Romania. Not Hungary. Not Bulgaria. That is, not those who are relatively close to the Crimea. There is silence and grace. But in the north of hysteria and saber weapons. And full preparation for repelling aggression. And if in translation - then to the aggression itself.

Yes, it is possible that strangling Kaliningrad will not work. But in this case, NATO still does not mean nothing. Just because the main Russia will be forced to intercede for its enclave. It can't be otherwise. But there is complexity. Yes, if you block the train and auto-message, it is still flowers. But seriously take up the airspace and sea lanes?

With the air, everything is sad, because you have to fly around through the Baltic Sea. I am not an expert, therefore I will not seriously discuss this topic due to incompetence. But in any case, air transport is unrealistic to supply the million population of the region. Proved by Transnistria.

There is a sea route. And here there is a field plowed for various claims and provocations. The benefit of all this is more secure than disassembly in the air.

The list of claims that can be thought out and voiced has been developed for a long time and not by us. The list of those who can complicate navigation in the area is also. Lithuania in particular. "Sea Wars" with arrests, inspections, claims - all this is quite old.

It is clear that the main task of the Balts is to raise the maximum hype and demand once again protection from Russia, brazenly trampling on their maritime lines. It is clear that they can raise the noise. Besides noise, nothing else, since the naval forces of any of the Baltic countries are laughter. Poland looks a little better with its retired American corvettes and Danish submarines. But still funny.

But this can not be said about Germany. As well as the Swedish Navy. These are the two most serious forces in the region, especially the Germans.

Yes, you cannot discount our ground forces. But this is not about war, so far, at least. We are talking about possible pressure on us with the help of half-police sanctions. From which to confrontation at hand.

There is no fire without smoke. The increased activity of the countries of the NATO bloc in the Baltic Sea region is so far only smoke. And Kaliningrad is a pain point on which our potential opponents can easily strike.

                ... my respect Roman Batkovich ... hi ... I’ve gotten into fear with the people ... let's figure it out ... an energy blockade, it can’t be because the Kaliningrad region does not have electricity supplies from Lithuania and Poland ... well, with the exception of Rybachy on the Curonian Spit and that’s all. .. CHP 2 completely covers the needs of the region and plus its own hydro generation for the balance of the power system, the power system of the Kaliningrad Region is separate ... further, when closing the airspace of Lithuania, flights will actually go through the Baltic Sea in international airspace, and will not be interrupted shipping in the same international waters, the Kaliningrad-St. Petersburg ferry will operate properly ... Roman Batkovich, you are a military man ... what happens if you try to detain or inspect a Russian ship in international waters ?! ... Russia has the right to use force ... DKBF from Baltiysk has not gone anywhere ... hi and a map for everyone, with the borders of the Baltic Sea states (purple lines) ... we have everywhere direct access to the international airspace and the international waters of the Baltic ... narrow for 12 km in the Gulf of Finland. everything, but there is ... hi
                P.S. ... well, it’s easy to leave all of Pridaldosia without electricity for at least two weeks, one cable comes by sea to Estonia from Finland, the second again through the sea to Lithuania from Sweden, the so-called Baltic Ring ... that's all .. Two KZ and Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have been sitting without light for at least 2 weeks ... on how to mount a coupling, or rather an insert with two couplings on a submarine cable, this is not a joke, two inserts and four couplings, and for sure each line is also redundant , then 4 inserts and 8 couplings ... well, you also need to find the place of damage ... laughing

                  The blockade is an act of war. Therefore, an attempt to "block" Russia in the Gulf of Finland is a war. And in case of war, it is not a problem for us to "cut through" the land access to Kaliningrad. Won, from Belarus to Kaliningrad - 80 km in a straight line. Well, yes, through Lithuania, and a little Poland, nootk is the war!

But if you just shut off the gas, then there will already be a problem. Because the Iru TPP, which is located near Tallinn, operates on it, and we have not yet built gas storage facilities))).

                  "Yes, narrowly in the Gulf of Finland 12 km. in total" I did not understand why so little? After all, territorial waters occupy 12 nautical miles from the coast. But if we take 2 miles from 12 sides of the Gulf of Finland and a narrow passage of 12 miles, then what, the width of the bay is only 36 nautical miles? Maybe you meant the economic zone of states? But it is not considered territorial!

            Do you at least a little bit (well, at least at the level of a secondary school) imagine the totality of all resources (including human resources) for building the first carrier of the first warhead capable of reaching Kaliningrad? I humbly keep silent about Moscow. And here is the crisis in the Poles to help.
            No, well, if you push, then everything can be done. And .. do the Poles want to push? they’re not Russians, they’re not used to pushing themselves to the bone.

              I personally reason like this: If I don’t understand something, then you just need to dig deeper.

              Today there is an economic confrontation between the EU and the USA - this is a fact.
              Putin und Ko seeks integration with the EU ("Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok"). The US is driving a wedge between the two in the fight against the EU

              Well, Poland ... And Poland is a US Trojan horse in the EU. The EU believes (not without reason) that they will gradually digest the horse. But slight indigestion in the process is still observed

        You want to say Simpsonian, it is possible that the Poles will be able to develop and equip nuclear weapons with weapons? If you do not know, according to the rules and norms of the UN, all the development of nuclear weapons is prohibited by new states, as soon as they begin, they will immediately apply sanctions against them and the West will not be able to abandon sanctions against Poland, which means that they will not succeed

        There is a plan to destroy the Russia bound in Transnistria and Syria by the blockade of Kaliningrad, at the same time changing the regime in Belarus, and now the United States is following it.
        In this, he guessed in terms of the blockade, otherwise - no ...
        Having provoked this blockade in the Baltics, they are preparing to arrange a war similar to the Finnish one in 1939, in which, after heavy losses after 2 weeks or 2 months of fighting, Russia does not dare to use tactical.
        No kidding ... in vain ground forces are being pulled into the Baltics, missile defense (aka air defense) is being deployed in Poland and Romania, Transnistria and Russian troops in it are blockaded, a Turkish F-16 shot down our plane in Syria, US AB, accompanied by destroyers from " Izhdis "left their bases (and this is a threatened period) and for the most part a rod in the Mediterranean?
        Something is planned like the second Livonian-Crimean war at the same time ...

        Not everything is so simple, everything is much simpler ... therefore, if it flares up, you simply do not need to regret them when lifting the blockade and breaking through the artillery corridor, having previously allowed civilians to evacuate from the territory for some time. If they leave "non-citizens" hostage, then do not give them, or it is better to immediately take up the cities where there are fewer non-citizens and Alaska, by the way, it is located somewhere in the Arctic.

        my answer from 03:51 for RUSS look a little higher ...

        he is generally right, only still more categorical and worse - Kaliningrad is not a goal but a means
        The goal is the collapse and destruction of Russia as a state and as a people, they believe that they have never been so close to this.

        There are no problems for the naval blockade and there is no need to look for reasons, they have introduced everything, they dared to start "speaking with Russia in the language of sanctions."
        Even without the Germans and Swedes - the Gulf of Finland is blocked even by a network like in 1943-45, Danish things are even simpler, and swim from Kaliningrad "wherever you want." Even - just like that.
        That is why the main base of the Baltic Fleet is in Baltiysk and not in Kronstadt.
        Some dimitrophs will cope quite well, and the terrible phase of breaking through the corridor will begin - a trap is prepared there, because even some Limitrophic armed forces are very saturated with porotivotank mediums. Do not forget how the front moved there in 1943-45. WWII and with what losses. And the Kurdyady boiler in Latvia surrendered later than Berlin and Prague.

      The author of the article, most importantly, has already decided. The danger is not in the hypothetical blockade of the Kaliningrad region, but in the fact that the economic situation in Russia, and in the Kaliningrad region in particular, if it worsens, people will be unhappy with the central government, and this may lead to paradoxical as it sounds, to the separatist sentiments in this Russian enclave. I recently visited Kaliningrad, I really liked the city, but the economic situation of the people was not encouraging.

          I was not in the Baltic states, I was in Kaliningrad, and honestly I’ll say that any of the situations described in the author’s scenario, only one, will lead to disastrous consequences for the population of the region, because judging by my observations, the region lives in tourism. Armenia has such a parable:
          The little cowherd boy shouted so much:
          "Wolves, wolves !!", he deceived and made fun of his friends so much that when the wolves really attacked his flock, no one responded to his cries for help and the shepherd boy and his sheep were eaten by wolves. then it can attract trouble.

              I will support the famous marshal. In Kaliningrad, the overall situation is economical, as in most regions of Russia. The average salary of 20-30 thousand rubles. This does not take into account the military and sailors. Not much, and not really too little. Business, I won’t say anything about business. But new homes are rising and apartment prices will say not cheap. Regarding the separatist moods ... everything is in the realm of science fiction, it’s the frontier vanguard of Russia and it’s easy to guess who is driving what.

            About separatism. Such a case is known in the 90s. There are enough Lithuanians living in Kaliningrad. To one of them, a territorially preoccupied tribesman podgёb and offered to participate in the noble cause of the reunification of "Lithuania Minor" with the "big one. The champion is over, do you think? Ogёb tribesman at the very least, and more in the" small homeland "did not appear.

        Oh well, you visited, and I live there. And our economic situation is not the worst.
        I would like to note from the article: border traffic has been established between the residents of the Kaliningrad region and Poland. This means that without a visa you can drive to Poland to a depth of 70 km for shopping. There are still zlotys, not euros, and the prices are quite profitable ... Lithuanians are already chasing purchases to Poland, since the euro was introduced in Lithuania and prices were pulled up to European ones ... And the Lithuanians counted (figured h ... r to nose) and went to stock up with the Poles. Yes, and do not forget about the long columns of the same Poles / Lithuanians on our border, who drive their VW trade winds (with inflated 100L tanks) for almost free gasoline to us. The business is set up so to speak ... And hardly anyone wants to interrupt this traffic from both sides. Everyone benefits. Note that the same Poles with dill are in no hurry to organize border traffic. So no matter what the "talking heads" of their governments say, no one will give up the profit. It is actually beneficial to all parties. There can be no talk of any blockade at the moment and in the near future. A resident of Kaliningrad can issue a visa, either to Poland or to Lithuania, without any problems (I have Schengen permanently pasted in my passport). Well, who does not know, a nuclear power plant has been built in the Kaliningrad region (it is not being commissioned yet, and it is not necessary now, but it will come in handy for a rainy day), so it will be difficult for us to cut off the electricity. And the last thing. Over the past few years, a lot of military equipment has been brought to the Kaliningrad Region and an increased activity has been noticed among the warriors. What and how, I don't know for sure (who will tell me to a mere mortal that the warriors are stirring up there, but delivery from big Russia is in large quantities), but from a military point of view, our place is prepared and our enclave will be a "tough nut to crack" for anyone who wants to encroach on the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation.

          In my comment I wrote that the Kaliningrad region lives mainly due to tourism and any of the scenarios described by the author of the article will lead to serious consequences for the region. You yourself have confirmed that the inhabitants of the region often travel to Poland and Lithuania almost unhindered, that is you supported my conclusions about a very large dependence on these countries. Now, hypothetically, imagine that Lithuania and Poland closed their consulates in Kaliningrad and do not issue visas to residents of the region again. In this case, Russia has no leverage on these countries, except for a symmetrical answer , but the deprivation of Polish and Lithuanian citizens on visa-free travel to the Kaliningrad region is not critical for them, which I can not say about Russian citizens living in Kaliningrad.

              You are "at war" with the wrong person, dear, the author of the article has provided for you, Kaliningraders, a scenario more abruptly than mine.
              And what about your prediction, then you can brainwash any person so that people themselves will demand the closure of borders with Russia and no "World Community" will shout for the residents of the Kaliningrad region, if they cancel the visa-free regime with the Kaliningrad region, then Lithuania and Poland will do it with the knowledge of the same "World Community", if it comes to that, it is not difficult to put submachine gunners on the border, there would be a desire. Such a scenario can take place much easier than the apocalyptic scenario of the author of the article.

                In my fairy tale, I deliberately did not include the military component, which is the case. There is a Russian-speaking population in Lithuania and not a small part of it. You can also work with him (the population). In light of the current events in / in Ukraine, for example, it is safe to say that it is not a problem to start a mess (a hybrid war, if you like). So it all depends on our special services and foreign intelligence. You can arrange any "inconveniences", there would be a desire or reason. If the borders are closed, "Maidanas" will be activated. Why do you think that all Lithuanians are happy with their power? I communicate with them often and I know what I'm talking about. And adding fuel to the fire is not difficult ...

          I agree. Only in the army now they have begun to pay well, in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other law enforcement agencies, but whoever pays for it is just hard workers in industries, in comparison with the military, they live beggarly. Again, it is the hard workers who pay for the army, and the spread in the salaries of the military, especially officials and hard workers, is shamefully not in favor of the hard workers, who fill the country's budget. And I can say that it already annoys many hard workers.

            Military, government officials, state employees can of course be assigned large salaries, salaries. But initially, hard workers pay for everything (they take taxes from them, only they produce something) and taxes from production enterprises (the state gains only from the production of something). If hard workers get a penny, then taxes are penny, it remains to take only with our nouveau riche, and they do not give so much taxes.
            Salaries have already been determined by the military, officials (no one will reduce them), but where can I get the money for this? So the government is rushing around, trying to put on a stronger shoe for someone who can give them money, hard workers, but not nouveau riche, they are untouchable.

        What are you saying!?
        I go there twice a year, I have a father, sisters and a bunch of relatives there.
        And about the economic situation, I’ll enlighten you a little.
        Salary level - as elsewhere in Russia.
        Prices in stores are similar.
        But!
        When there was an opportunity to bring food products from Poland (this is before the imposition of sanctions), it was naturally profitable to go there - prices are lower, despite the fact that the trip is farther (in comparison with a trip to the same "Victoria", etc.). Naturally, everyone was happy about it.
        And when the channel was covered - sadness, sadness.
        But this is for those who wound up in Poland with a frequency of 2-3 times a month, like many families in Russia wound up in hypermarkets for large purchases. and this is only a part of the population of the region.
        The other part (those who did not consider it necessary to do this, because the distances to the checkpoints significantly exceed the distances to the aforementioned hypermarkets, wholesale stores, etc., or do not have transport facilities) both lived and still live.
        And they don’t particularly complain about prices (although prices are jumping, as elsewhere in Russia).
        At least, to my father, a pensioner, there is enough pension for normal life.

      The author, in general, raised a very difficult question.
      Kaliningrad, nevertheless, can be used to provoke Russia to "aggression", which the US and NATO lack so much in order to finally tear Europe away from Russia.
      Only here they also probably understand that the blockade itself can be regarded as a declaration of war and Russia will have no other choice but to cut a new land corridor along with the delegitimization of state formations of the aggressor countries participating in the blockade. Is NATO prepared to take such risks and call into question its own well-being?

      What to do Fell of course. Germany, for example, arranged a blockade, launched several old unarmed ships through neutral waters. If they don’t attack, the blockade failed, if they shoot to kill, we beat the crusher at the German Navy bases. We crossed the Kaliningrad border — a limited nuclear strike on the advancing troops, didn’t retreat — a total blow by the Strategic Missile Forces or the Navy against the Germans.

    Personally, I think that in the headquarters, the Foreign Ministry, there are quite sane people and for a long time who should have been given a hint about the consequences of such steps (blockade of the territory of Russia). Therefore, such a step is possible if the relationship is already a "war" after the fact. request Whatever one may say, even the Dodiks in Fashington understand that it is dangerous to argue with a nuclear power by this method - it will be enough if the distance does not save the faq. Because sanctions, blathering of various officials are safer and more method lol

    The picture on the splash screen is not quite correct. "Iskander", of course, is an excellent thing, but you need to dance from the range of the sea-based "Caliber", which, as practice has shown, can be crammed into any more or less suitable container like MRK. Or a watchdog, of which there are also enough. And then the picture will be completely different.
    As for provocations at the borders and on the territory of the region itself, I agree that with the general frostbite of the neighbors everything is possible, even to the detriment of oneself and with very painful consequences for them. But such is today's reality, and it will remain so for a long time. We must continue to strengthen the Armed Forces and the fleet to the extent of delivering a guaranteed retaliatory strike with unacceptable damage to the enemy, so that there is reason to think seven times before deciding on any action.

    The blockade of the Kaliningrad region is itself a casus belli.
    The only answer before the start of an armed conflict in this case can only be the disconnection of Europe from "nishtyaks" such as gas, for which it is necessary to have eggs made of alloy steel.

    In the USSR, geopolitics was considered something alien, if not a Charlottean bourgeois doctrine, in tsarist Russia, however, foreign agents of influence were too calm. All this gave rise to many of our today's problems, including the topic discussed in the article. We have generously endowed, after World War II, ungrateful pigs with the lands of East Prussia, the same Lithuanians were given Klaipeda ... Had more common sense, healthy imperial egoism, it would have been more logical to separate the Baltic states by a corridor from the Kaliningrad region and Belarus from the same Poland. However, “having lost their heads, they don’t cry for their hair,” if we had preserved the Soviet Union and our troops in Eastern Europe, there would have been no such problems. We were humiliated with Ukraine, the States brazenly climbed there, we wore off, already climb into Kazakhstan, and will climb, lay around, block all the "cranks" while agents of foreign influence are in power, while the entire powerhouse keeps its junk in dollars, looks to the West, having long had Russia only as a personal feeding trough.

    It was like that in the 90s. It quickly went out after the Germans explained that they would even "digest" East Germany, in the sense that they would fully integrate it, in 50 years, and they did not intend to hang on to Kaliningrad for purely economic reasons. This is 20 years ago. And now they have more problems. So all the fuss around Kaliningrad is aimed only at undermining the situation.

    One cannot argue that in NATO very often “dull” by Zadornov sit. Not. There are quite professionals who can draw conclusions from previous situations. And they are well aware of the current state of affairs in Russia.

    There, of course, professionals are sitting. And that's exactly what - they are sitting. Only others are acting. Those to whom they give orders and print instructions do not differ in special intelligence.

    After all, they also have the right to stupidity. US Secretary of State John Kerry said this clearly:

    US Secretary of State John Kerry, speaking to German students, guaranteed the right of Americans to be brainless. If American citizens want this, then they have every right to do so, media say.

    “Our country lives on the idea of ​​freedom and tolerance, and this applies to everything: politics, religion and even mental abilities. If a person wants to be stupid, this is his choice, and we must accept him. This is America’s dignity, ”said Kerry.


    http://www.bagnet.org/news/world/208897

    US Secretary of State John Kerry said that Americans have the right to be stupid if they want. This was announced by the head of the foreign ministry at a meeting with German students in Berlin.

    Kerry is convinced that the right to stupidity is guaranteed to Americans by the US Constitution, namely the right to self-determination. And that is why, according to the Secretary of State, this right is worth fighting for.

    The author considers the situation without war. Just a blockade of Kaliningrad in peaceful conditions. It is possible. But the author does not consider retaliatory measures. The blockade of the state means a complete blockade. You cannot block a specific area. For example, how can you trade with Ryazan and not trade with Kaliningrad? The blockade of Kaliningrad means a complete break in economic ties with Moscow. Even the States cannot go for it now.
    The second option is a blockade in war. It’s even easier. Land connection with Kaliningrad will be established within a maximum of a week. And in Kaliningrad itself there are enough forces and means to turn the three Baltic capitals (plus Warsaw to the heap) into a lunar landscape.

    Perhaps the supply of Kaliningrad by sea can be blocked, but this is in the event of a large-scale war in the Baltic. Any Baltic state that dares to sink our ships will immediately pay off by "torpedoing" its own ports, and most likely with the help of nuclear warheads. And Norway can lose ports up to Narvik during the land and landing operation. And therefore the Scandinavians will not get into the war, they will not simply survive without the Baltic puddle. All the dregs in the Baltic are only from 4 limitrophes. The Americans are unlikely to invest in these in full. But, of course, you need to prepare. Kaliningrad should become a fortress port (air defense, Bastions). And the very first provocation should be responded to as harshly as possible, on the brink of war, but without going over it. Then the jackals will be worried, and even the striped one will not be able to push them forward further.

    In the late 30s, the Poles, after they realized that Hitler was not going to attack the USSR with them, constantly provoked Germany. Like small mongrels constantly attacked the Germans, especially those living in territories controlled by the Poles.
    A somewhat similar situation is happening now against Russia.
    But why was this mongrel so confident?
    And then and now the Poles know that they themselves can not stand against Germany or Russia. But in those days, they had confidence that the British and French would die for them. It didn’t work out. For zheks nobody was going to die.
    Cleverly. They understood that the same situation could happen again now. And if Russia snaps at their constant provocations, no one will fit in with the Poles.
    It is another matter if there are NATO soldiers in Poland. The Poles will constantly substitute them, hide behind their backs. Yes, even if only one American or German - they will expose him under attack.
    And this is the main goal of the provocateurs - to tie the NATO "allies" in blood.
    The presence of NATO soldiers strengthens the unpunished provocations of Poland and the Baltic states. There is not far to great blood.
    In addition, the constant "exercises" on our borders can lead to clashes at any time. Not even intentional. Although this can be calculated. And it looks like this option suits the NATO members too.
    We will not be able to "resist provocations" as in 41. This version of our answer could lead to a catastrophe of more massive scale than in the summer of 1941.

    Nuclear weapons without delivery vehicles are almost nothing, but delivery vehicles, and even those that would have cracked the air defense, are too tough for Poland, even the United States has certain problems with this.


    If you seriously consider such statements, it is likely that Poland will not and will not develop any nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles. And all the hype and whistle-blowing with large-scale NATO exercises are necessary to create public opinion, and most importantly, conviction - in the "present and inevitable threat" from Russia to all neighbors, and the entire "Western world". And under this "sauce" you can place American delivery vehicles and nuclear weapons in the same Poland. Treaties? And when they were "partners" were respected. Therefore, IMHO, the statements of the Polish journalist are not that nonsense, especially if you recall that the GDP about this and spoke in Greece, voicing concerns.

    Roman is a great clever man.

Why unprecedented NATO maneuvers.
    What we consider worthy of laughter, fantasies, too often lately has become reality.
    favor gentlemen.
    1Georgia attacks and kills Russian peacekeepers.
    2Ukrainian fraternal people proclaim Russia a strategic adversary, Ukrainian nationalists are killing civilians in Russian-speaking regions, and Russia does not attack the heirs of the Third Reich with all the might of its strategic forces.
    Turkey shots down a Russian military (!) Sic!) Plane, and does not receive a military response.
    Conclusion: The goal of NATO is the creation of a diplomatic, military situation of this nature, when the Russian Federation for some reason can not use nuclear weapons.
    For example, because of the threat of a great war. And such a threat is created precisely for the tasks of neutralizing Russia, blocking the full or partial Kaliningrad region, creating unacceptable conditions for the population, and the Russian group, control over all the actions of the Baltic Fleet, the air group.
    This is a skillful game of geopolitical chess.
    I served in the Airborne Forces in the Baltic states, I know how much was offered for the withdrawal of the landing units.
    Now, at the Kazlu Ore training ground, where we burst into the sand, practicing the offensive and the capture of objects, there are Abrams.
    A developed aerodrome structure is ready to accept NATO contingents.
    The novel is not .. We are preparing some kind of dirty trick. And he is a fine fellow because he knows the main rule - "The enemy is cunning and disgusting, be strong and daring!"
    The Baltics is a region from the military point of view is very complex, adapted to guerrilla warfare, the population is historically ill-disposed towards Russia, as a springboard for actions of various nature, it is close to the most important regions of Russia and is very pleased to work with different types of actions, namely sabotage, reconnaissance, the supply of the Kaliningrad enclave is limited, and in any scandal they can be subjected to pressure and blockade ... not complete but partial. In order to cause internal problems.

      - there are quite sane people living in Kaliningrad. Maybe we should listen to their opinion first?

      she didn’t get up, she always stood there, or for the last 2-3,5 thousand years.

      There will be no Russia and no Russians, everyone else will have no one to go to for help. What happened in the world after the collapse of the USSR is an indicator of this. The PRC itself is still the same, and the United States with its support can deal with them quite easily.
