Gravitas | Will Putin Invade Strategic NATO Island in Baltics? Russia’s nuclear moves worry NATO

is Vladimir Putin preparing for World War II is he preparing Russia for a newclear war is he looking to expand Russia seab borders with an aim to seize an island that can be used as a nuclear Launchpad we asked those questions because EXN veterans sure believe that he is fresh Reports say that the Russian president is on a mission a mission to expand Russia seab borders and steal areas from NATO territory you heard that right NATO’s Baltic members are reportedly on the edge after a draft Russian decree proposed revising its borders in the Baltic Sea this has Lithuania and Finland worried what exactly does this draft decree State well here’s what we know the decree drafted by the Russian defense Ministry reportedly suggests moving the sea borders around Russian islands in the Gulf of Finland and around the Enclave of kenrad it was not immediately clear if the draft proposed extending Russian borders into Finnish Waters or Lithuanian Waters however it would have included territory in the Eastern Gulf of Finland several islands close to the Finish coast and areas near the near the two cities of balis and zelon grat in kenrad this has Baltic states worried remember Finland and the Baltic states are all members members of the EU and the NATO the us-led military Alliance is committed to defending their borders so any provocation against one would involve the entire block to retaliate on Wednesday finland’s defense and foreign committees held emergency meetings the Prime Minister P orpo said the political leadership was monitoring the situation closely he said that he did not see any reason for greater concern at least at the moment meanwhile lwia said it was trying to clarify the situation while lithu accused the Kremlin of provocation the draft decree was first highlighted on Tuesday when the Russian news agency task reported on the alleged proposal to re redraw the old borders dating back to the Soviet era in January 1985 a day later on Wednesday the Russian proposals were no longer visible it only read draft deleted later the Russian media reported that there were no plans being made to revise Russia’s territorial Waters in the Baltic the Kremlin spokesman and Dimitri pesov in fact referred all inquiries to the defense Ministry pointing out that there is nothing political here he did say though that the political situation had changed since the 1980s he said and I’m quoting here you can see the level of Confrontation especially in the Baltic region so is that it is there really nothing to worry about well we don’t think so you see the Russian revolutions also coincided with a call for vigilance from Sweden’s Armed Forces Chief remember Sweden joined NATO in March becoming the alliance’s 3 second member but two years before it joined the alliance it beefed up its military presence on the Baltic island of gotland it sits just off the coast of Sweden and this has become the flash point now which brings me back to the question is Putin trying to seize a Baltic Sea Island so that he can use it as a nuclear LaunchPad NATO ex-generals certainly believe he is they say that Putin plans to take over gotland they say it on it is on Putin’s hit list if he gets his way they say that since Finland and Sweden joined the NATO the Baltic Sea has essentially become a NATO Lake they say that Putin is looking to push back against NATO it’s because whoever runs Scotland dominates the baltics they are worried that any Russian provocation on Scotland would most likely be agreed by members of The Alliance as an armed attack on Sweden and therefore likely an article 5 scenario which is essentially NATO’s Collective defense motto remember an attack on one is an attack on all there’s nothing surprising here NATO export experts have worried about that uh in fact the Russian that the Russian president is trying to provoke a World War III scenario since the Ukraine war started but just because NATO is worried does that really mean Russia will attack while Russia says no vehemently there are signs of provocation earlier this week itself on Tuesday Russia started tactical nuclear weapons exercises near Ukraine once again accusing the west of being provocative the Russian defense Ministry announced that the Kremlin Southern military District troops are practicing combat training tasks of obtaining special ammunition for the isander operation tactical missile system equipping launch vehicles with them and covertly advancing to the designated position area in preparation for missile launchers dramatic pictures showing is Gander and Hypersonic Kel missiles being moved across the region before they were fired through the sky experts said that if Russia were to launch ES scander nukes from gotland then they would be in range of major Western European cities and what’s more on Thursday the Russian president arrived in belus moscow’s closest Ally with an aim to discuss holding joint drills with tactical nuclear weapons the war games are aimed at simulating preparations for the launch of the weapons for the unw worst tactical nuclear weapons are smaller nuclear warheads meant for use on battlefields unlike strategic weapons which have been subject to Arms Control agreements between Russia and the US tactical weapons have never been limited by any such packs Russia has not released their number or any other details about them let’s not forget Putin has frequently evoked moscow’s nuclear Arsenal especially in the early days of the Ukraine war recently in fact he warned NATO countries that they risked provoking a nuclear war if they deployed troops to Ukraine additionally in a recent speech to Mark the Soviet Union’s victory in second world war Putin said Russia’s nuclear weapons were always at combat Readiness and these developments continue to worry the NATO now for those of you wondering what is Russia’s nuclear Doctrine it essentially lists four scenarios Russia would use nuclear weapons if Russia is attacked with nuclear missiles number two if it believes nuclear missiles are being launched against it number three if any attack is aimed at crippling its nuclear forces or if the very existence of the Russian state is threatened including by the use of superior Conventional Weapons by the NATO to stay up to speed with the latest news download the
