Nato risks a nuclear war with Russia within a year if it does not increase its defence capabilities in the Baltic states, one of the alliance's most senior retired generals has said. General Sir Richard Shirreff, who served as Nato’s Deputy Supreme Allied Commander in Europe between 2011 and 2014, said that an attack on Estonia, Lithuania or Latvia – all Nato members – was a serious possibility and that the West should act now to avert “potential catastrophe”. He has written a fictional book 2017 War with Russia, but told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme the events it describes were “entirely plausible”. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/nato-risks-nuclear-war-with-russia-within-a-year-senior-general-warns-a7035141.html Edited by Siberian, May 18 2016, 12:29 PM.

. The Independent were copying from the Telegraph article I posted 24 hours before their publication of this one. The British Military, regardless of whether they are in Nato appointments DO NOT talk to the bloody Independent (except on stories of how good the Army hospitals are or how happy their wives are on their treatment)! . .

Do you mean British press lies on this too? Damn, there's nobody left to believe to. Though, a lie on Russia is not really a lie, at least it does not make western press a Daily Mail, according to Stef...... |
