Comprehensive news from the British "Independent" and "Metro", Gurulev, a former Russian military commander, current member of the parliament, and a member of the United Russia party, described Russia's attitude towards in a program on Russian state television channel 1 One possibility for NATO member states - Baltic countries to take action.
According to the above-mentioned media statement, he made this assumption because taking such action is the only way to prevent the West from blocking the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad . However, "Metro News" said that if this move really happens, it will trigger NATO's Article 5 commitment on collective defense, thus triggering World War III.
Describing the idea, Gurulev said, "We will destroy the enemy's entire space satellite constellation in the first air operation," "No one will care whether they are Americans or British, we will destroy them "Second, we will destroy (the enemy's) entire anti-missile defense system 100% everywhere."
He continued, "Thirdly, we will certainly not start with Warsaw , Paris or Berlin . The first to be hit will be London. It is clear that the threat to the world comes from the Anglo-Saxons ."
It is reported that Gurulev was sanctioned by the United States because of his close relationship with Putin.
Will the blockade of the Russian enclave become a "powder keg" that triggers World War III? Russia's "Pravda" stated that the EU and Lithuania's blockade of Kaliningrad gave Russia sufficient "reasons to declare war." Russia is discussing measures for Russian air defense forces to initiate a blockade of Lithuanian airspace.
An article on the "Deutsche Welle" website analyzed that Russia's blockade of Lithuanian airspace will be regarded as a "de facto declaration of war." Lithuania is a member of NATO, and NATO will have to respond with military means.
