The Alliance may give a tough response to the threats of Kremlin propaganda.
NATO may enter into an open military conflict with Russia if the Kremlin attempts to attack convoys with equipment for Ukraine.
This opinion was expressed by a Russian political scientist and publicist Andrey Piontkovsky on the Freedom channel, commenting on the statement of a high-ranking official of the Alliance, Robert Bauer, about readiness for a “direct confrontation with Russia.”
“Ready – does not mean that tomorrow will start a confrontation. Different threats are heard from the Kremlin propaganda -” the war criminal Simonyan likes to say. They are less engaged in nuclear blackmail. They were explained that in this case Putin would simply be killed, and NATO countries would destroy the entire Russian group by fire action“, the political scientist noted.
According to him, now the Kremlin “always threatens to attack convoys of military equipment sent to Ukraine.”
“But they were told that even if a fragment of a Russian bomb fell on the territory of a NATO country, it would mean the automatic activation of Article 5 of the charter, and then the propaganda narrative “we are fighting all of NATO” will become a reality. Some 26 Hymers, delivered to Ukraine in the spring, turned the tide in the war and allowed Ukraine to seize the irreversible strategic initiative. And what will happen when there are hundreds of Tomahawks, dozens of F-16, F-35 aircraft against Russia? This is NATO's readiness,” Piontkowski explained.
Recall that the head of the NATO military committee, Admiral Robert Bauer, said that the Alliance is ready for He noted that Russia's strategic goals go beyond Ukraine, given that Moscow intends to restore the Soviet Union.At the same time, Bauer assesses the threat of nuclear war with skepticism, saying that he does not consider Russian President Vladimir Putin crazy.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg expressed his opinion that the risk of Russia using nuclear weapons is small. However, he notes that the Kremlin's “nuclear rhetoric” is irresponsible and dangerous.
