  • As the Ukraine war escalates, the threat of a larger conflict between Nato and Russia is growing and experts say a small strip of land in Europe is where Putin could launch a war against the West - they call the Suwalki Gap the most dangerous place on Earth.
    (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
    -------
    It separates Poland and Lithuania, surrounded by the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad on one side, and Belarus, under the leadership of Putin ally Alexander Lukashenko, on the other.
    If an all out war between Nato and Russia broke out, Russian forces could seize this bit of land and cut off the Nato states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania from allies in the rest of mainland Europe.
    Is Nato prepared for war with Russia? What is Europe's weak spot? What is Putin’s plan? - Channel 4 News explains.

    Seriously? Russia can't take even take Kharkiv or Sumy (right on the Russian border), and its army is currently be shredded by Ukrainians wielding leftover NATO kit. It's rather plain to see that they would be absolutely trounced against a REAL NATO army.

    I drive that route twice a year, between Suwatki and Marijampole, and will be doing so in a couple of weeks. NATO has battlegroups from at least 5 nations are stationed in the Baltics and Poland as well as an air defence force provided by various NATO members in rotation. The idea that Russia could assemble a force of significant strength in the vicinity of the Suwatki gap without NATO having ample warning and heavily reinforcing its existing forces there is ludicrous. Way more likely is that NATO would seize Kaliningrad, and its missile base, and return it to Germany under its original name of Konigsberg.

    • @scaleyback217
      @scaleyback217 Před rokem +5

      Thanks for the input. I'm not convinced NATO ground troops would be used to attack Kaliningrad. FIBUA can prove extremely costly and the advantage is always with the defenders. I wonder if the isolation of Kaliningrad would suffice. There could not possibly be a maritime relief for the city as the Baltic nations will have buttoned down all of the western maritime approaches. A land blockade would seem most likely with Nato assets degrading on a daily basis the Kaliningrad infrastucture and defence capabiities. It cold be long and protracted but the outcome would be inevitable as long NATO can get numbers on the border with Byelorus in quick response.
      I have to wonder if that particular weak/vulnerable point is also just that for Russia. Lure Russian forces into the area in order to destroy them - having committed themselves the Russians would for a while be throwing good after bad into the theatre with quickly diminishing prospects of a successful outcome for them.
      Thanks again Justin.

I believe military planners have already thought that out long time ago & keep updating their strategies & make simulations for any possible scenario. Furthermore, as the war in Ukraine has dragged on to the 9th months now with probability of a world war, I believe both sides already have their own strategies, unless Putin & Biden decide to end the conflict in a hip hop dance battle....

Even their own Collective security treaty organisation is practically failing... You have Azerbaijan invading Armenia and a border shooting in Turkmenistan and Kryzkstan.

    World War III Has Begun; How It Unfolds Depends on Us
    We think of the Russia-Ukraine war as a local conflict, but it is much more than that; it is a global war on multiple fronts. The war is not only a military conflict; it is also an economic war of attrition. With skyrocketing gas prices and shortage of staples, people all over the world are feeling the consequences of the war.
    This war is transforming the entire modus operandi of humanity. Since the dawn of time, we have been accustomed to living by the motto, “survival of the fittest.” By and large, the rule was that the strong determined the rules, and the rules were often abusive toward the weak. Now, it seems like a new mindset has set in: Wanting something and being strong enough to take it does not mean that the world will accept it.
    The war, therefore, is being fought on the inside no less, and perhaps more than on the outside. Our very makeup is changing from abusive to cooperative, from narcissistic to altruistic.
    It hurts, and it will not happen without a struggle, but it is irreversible. This is the path of our evolution toward the purpose of our creation-to encompass within us all of creation. To do that, we must come to care for it, just as a mother encompasses her child through her maternal love.
    The struggle to transition from our current uncaring and mean approach to all creations but ourselves, into wise and compassionate beings is called “the war of Gog and Magog” or Armageddon.
    Since the war is about our inner makeup, we can fight it within us. If we object to struggling with ourselves over who will rule-the ego or love-the physical reality will force us to choose love nonetheless. However, it will do so by hurting us in a very physical way.
    The war in Eastern Europe is nothing compared to what we might have to endure if we resist the process. The horrific descriptions of our sages and prophets hint at it, and we would not want to live through it.
    Alternatively, we can fight this war within us without firing a single bullet. The choice is in our hands. All we need is to continue in the same direction that nature is already leading us: toward connection. If we make an effort to care for one another, even though initially we don’t, then we are moving in the right direction. If we try to resolve conflicts not with guns or even legal battles, but by strengthening the care and friendship between us, then we are saving lives and sparing torments from countless people.
    In conclusion, let us try to rise above the hatred and see the human on the other side, who suffers too. Let us think that this war was given to us so we would think about each other more than we have so far. After all, were it not for this war, we would not notice one another. Now that it is here, we are no longer indifferent. Although our feelings our currently negative, now that we are aware of them, we can work on them together and turn them around. These are the wars of the Messiah who moshech [Hebrew: pulls] us out of the ego, and into mutual love.

    What would Russia fight with?Conscripts and tanks that explode on impact?

      It’s mental to me that people like you think Russia is finished. They just took 4 regions of the Ukraine in under a year using OLD stock weapons, this is well documented that Russia used there old stock first to get rid of it. Russia hasn’t even begun to fight yet.

    Let's put this straight : Russia does not want to start a war with Nato.
    America and Nato want to start a war with Russia, it's as symple as that.

      And Russia isn't backing down pushing Russia into existential threat as pushed the USA and NATO and Europe and UK into the existential club aswell so who builds up first from their annihilated countries is the winner.

    It’s an indefensible gap. It’s more like a right of way, that is. Until NATO/Poland decide otherwise.

    I wish Europe and NATO could just do a referendum in there and annex Kaliningrad. But NATO is defensive alliance so that's not happening. Unless Russia as a state would collapse and they'd hold their own referendum and join either Poland or Lithuania.

    Russia's having a hard time with Ukraine, can you imagine if he went against NATO?

      NATO is already in the proxy war with the Russia, Ukraine is only providing military personnel(soldiers). As you can see, NATO countries already have hard times to produce military equipment and sustain economy. Don't even try to think that Russia is not capable of fighting NATO alone.

    Kaliningrad is surrounded on three sides by NATO and the forth side is the Baltic Sea which boarders seven NATO countries. Russia doesn't have much armor or soldiers left since all its forces that were in Kaliningrad have been redeployed to Ukraine and are probably dead. NATO aircraft would quickly control the skies over the gap. Seems like a nonstarter.

    Prevent the NATO allies from...? You've got to be joking. We've all seen the Russian army's performance.

    Kaliningrad is not anymore russian territory. It is annexed and called Kralovec… If they can annex countries, we can do the same 🇪🇺💪

    Best to build a wall from the tips of Norway, to the bottom of Romania. But if Ukraine joins NATO the wall will expand around them to connect to Romania faster, isolating Russia from the West.

    Relentless NATO naval shelling should do the trick if such a thing occurred

    I am convinced that Poland would rush to help Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Its army can easily handle the Belarusian army and the Russians in Kaliningrad.

  • @chancergordy

    So just a simple question. Is the vulnerability not the other way?
    Surely Kaliningrad is the vulnerable area.

    Nope. It is Russias weakness, not NATO's.
