Russian officials on Friday clapped back at a recently announced NATO deterrence plan that to looks to unite the alliance’s ground response capabilities, and has Moscow particularly worried about the vulnerabilities posed by its highly militarized exclave – Kaliningrad.
Warnings rang out from the halls of the Kremlin as one official warned that a deterrence strategy announced this week by U.S. Army Europe and Africa commander Gen. Christopher Donahue amounted to "a plan to unleash World War III with a subsequent global standoff [and] no winners."
"An attack on the Kaliningrad region will mean an attack on Russia, with all due retaliatory measures stipulated, among other things, by its nuclear doctrine," chairman of the Russian Parliamentary Committee on International Affairs Leonid Slutsky told the East 2 West media outlet.

Slutsky further claimed that NATO poses a “threat to global security and stability” after Donahue, in explaining the new capabilities being rolled out by the U.S. and NATO militaries, said the alliance has the ability to “take down” Kaliningrad using ground-based operations “in a timeframe that is unheard of and faster than we’ve ever been able to do.”
*yawn*
so much BS from Russia
Totalitarian regimes are so paranoid.
ROFWL!!!! Putin’s invasion of Ukraine “does not threaten WWIII” but the west’s response to it does!!! Lying hubris.
Kill Putin
Paranoid people can do very dangerous things because , well - they are paranoid.
Being paranoid does not necessarily mean that people are not out to get you and paranoid people can be very proactive when it comes to dealing with the subject of their perceived threats.
“Help the paranoids are after me...”
Get out of Ukraine and everyone will leave you alone.
Russian’s and their idle threats.
You really want a nuclear war??? Just say so.
There’s a reason why the Cold War came to an end... It was Russia’s realization that they would lose badly in any nuclear conflict, and that brought and end to the Cold War and nothing has changed since then.
Stalin put a replacement population there to be a thorn in Europe’s side.
So let me get this straight…we simply had to overthrow Ukraine’s government, put in a western puppet government, and arm Ukraine to fight Russia in a regional war (2019 Rand Report on Russia), in order to stop Russian aggression? Ok then 👌
“so much BS from Russia”
AND NATO.
“Totalitarian regimes are so paranoid.”
There is no doubt Russia is paranoid.
Sane people can debate whether it’s warranted, or not.
Sane people should also plan/act with this FACT known.
Don’t keep poking the bear...
“Get out of Ukraine and everyone will leave you alone.”
That’s a bullshit lie right there.
The big lie.
And how is it a lie? Do you think that anyone is thinking about invading Russia? Were there any sanctions on Russia before their first invasion in 2014? Was anyone bombing Russia before they started bombing Ukraine? Get over it. Everything that is happening is because Russia decided to play empire and reclaim a lost province. Russia goes home and it all stops. Stop pushing Russian lies and propaganda.
“Do you think that anyone is thinking about invading Russia?”
Nope.
The Atlantic Council (the brains of NATO) has openly advocated a Color Revolution and breaking up Russia into several “states” that would be easily controlled (exploited).
