The US told how exactly NATO will lose the war with Russia

31

The American analytical center RAND conducted a headquarters game, which depicts possible military operations in the Baltic countries during the offensive in this region by Russian troops. The game shows that NATO is unlikely to be able to prevent the hypothetical occupation of the Baltic by Russia if it uses the weapons currently at the disposal of the organization. Experts from the American edition of The National Interest spoke about the possible course of such a conflict.

A partial justification for NATO's inability to confront the Russian Armed Forces can be found in the fact that NATO's promise to contain Moscow never included an obligation to defeat Russian troops near the borders of the Western bloc - NATO, if necessary, can only extend the conflict beyond the war that the Russian Federation would like to wage.



Russia will be able to defeat NATO forces with conventional weapons, and this threat to NATO always persists. But the leadership of the organization hopes that its authority and military capabilities are already sufficient for a deterrent.

The results of the military-staff game RAND allow us to conclude that Russia will be able to seize the Baltic states and, possibly, hold it for some time.

- notes the American edition.

However, this victory will not be easy for the Russian army. When NATO troops move to Kaliningrad, the Russian Federation will suffer serious losses. The Russian Navy will also be hit, and Russian air defense and air forces will be weakened. Whether the seizure of the Baltic states will cost such a high price, only the real development of the situation can show.

      And why NATO Kaliningrad with the Russian population ?! They are going to cut out the population of Kaliningrad and take the land for themselves. So the Russian Federation should do the same with them. The land of the Russian Federation will be useful, but without the beast sick with Russophobia.

              After Tyagnebok urged to kill Russians, and Timoshenko generally called to kill Russians with an atomic bomb, you can remove Article 282 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation to hell. In addition, I sincerely wish that air conditioners would explode in your houses, like in the Donbass, and your loved ones were engaged in self-immolation, like the Russians in the Odessa House of Trade Unions! Greetings to your cyborgs from the Sapsan special forces unit of the Russian Federation!

                        As far as I know, the descendants of the leaders of the USSR and Russia (Stalin, Khrushchev, Gorbachev, Yeltsin) prefer to live in NATO countries. And retired deputies of the State Duma and Federation Council of the Russian Federation, former prime ministers, deputy prime ministers, and ministers have bought real estate in NATO countries for a long time, placed a lot of money in local banks, sent their wives, children, grandchildren, dogs, servants and others. Did they do bad things to the Russians there? Have they taken everything? Planted-shot? By the way, I still remember the banker Pugachev. And they all have NO PROBLEMS. You like it, I'm sure.
                        Only here no one goes to Russia from NATO countries, no one runs.

                        Have you ever thought about why these people, I cannot call them people, fled from the Russian Federation ?! Think at your leisure. The people of Gorbachev call Judushka, Yeltsin Cain ... How long would they and their descendants have lived in the Russian Federation without the accompaniment of personal protection ?! It is in Germany that they love Gorbachev, for the unification of Germany, and in the Russian Federation they hate him, not without reason, and any exit to the street without protection can become the last for him in the Russian Federation, and the guard may not be able to repel the (in love) with him and people like him .... In the Russian Federation from NATO countries go to permanent residence and to work, I know these personally, but these are ordinary people, not politicians who betrayed their country and their people.

    After the Second Great War (hot), the "cold" war came: speeches in Fulton, Truman, McCarthy, Forrestal and others. With "dear and eternally loved" - the coexistence of states with different state systems, relaxation of international tension, strategic offensive weapons, a neutron bomb, star wars.
    But even then, in 1970-1980, they did not comment on any staff games, predictions, statements by ordinary politicians and retired majors. Because it was NOT SOLID (to put it mildly). And HERE - this whole nonsense and gag - in the order of things! That's amazing!

    PS:

    ... told the experts of the American edition of The National Interest.

    In decent places, they give a link - the year of publication, issue number, the title of the article, so that everyone can read it themselves (in the era of the Internet - this is real) and create their own opinion, and do not fence their own ....., referring to the "American edition" ...

    NATO expects to starve out Russia, but this is unlikely to succeed, since we will not give them such pleasure. And the fact that in total the coalition has a lot more than ours is arithmetic, but they beat it somewhere else. All the journeys to Russia united grabbers and snatchers for profit and therefore were beaten.

      Yes, yes, on the Kalka (1223) and during the capture of Kiev (1240), and in the Livonian (1584), near the Azov (1696) and in the Prut campaign (1711), in the Crimean (1856), near Tsushima and Port Arthur (1904-1905) - all the "grabbers and snatchers" were beaten, in one fell swoop.
      And from 1918 to 1922 they began to beat each other, continuing until 1953, but after 1991 they decided that it would be time to do something more useful than building communism :))

        Tribaltika was not taken from the Swedes?

        Was there no civilian in the United States? And what was the 30-year war in Europe? The same civilian, only more serious than ours.
        And we have a Civil in the spring of 1918. would have ended if not for the "partners".

        ... continuing until 1953.

        life has shown that we finished early.
        And now in the USA the ideas of communism are very popular among the children of wealthy parents.

        And you forgot to mention the fact that after the Prut campaign, Russia nailed Turkey 4 times. Or the fact that after the Crimean Russians eventually won by liberating the Balkans. And the fact that Tsushima was 1938 1939 and 1945 With Japan, when the Russian tarpaulin boot came, you also forgot. Or after Kalka there was the Battle of Kulikovo. Or the fact that the Russian Poles beat and Kiev eventually won back, bought the rights to it and rebuilt you forgot. Livonian War? It essentially ended in nothing, the Russians returned part of the land in exchange for a temporary refusal for others, which Russia again returned, eventually breaking all essentially all the Scandinavian countries. It turns out that the grabbers and ragamuffins here are you and you can only wave and you can, but you can’t beat 700 already, you can’t all beat us like crystal against a fortress wall =) Russians sometimes lose battles and individual episodes, but they win wars regularly and finally leaving the last word for yourself. Also, your interlocutor said in the event of an attack on Russia and an attempt to exterminate the population of the Russian population, it makes no sense to play nobility with the enemy, and this is true because most of the potential opponents our ancestors once regretted.

    REND corporation is just a gang of stupid idiots, if they start to attack Kaliningrad, then the Russian troops will act in a completely different scenario, not the one that analysts from the corporation come up with. Eliminating the possibility of flank attacks and the destruction of the possibility of creating a bridgehead in the rear and on the flank of the Russian troops. And this is possible only with a quick dash through the tribalts bypassing Belarus, leaving it on the flank, tank and motorized rifle divisions will rush from the Pskov region through the Baltic to the rescue of the garrison of the besieged fortress, but Dzarzhinsky's division will begin to clean up the Baltic region in their footsteps and build a monitoring system for the Baltic Sea coast.
