Recently, Russia issued a warning of "de-Nazization" to The Three Baltic Kingdoms , with the stern wording almost the same as what he said when he blitzed Ukraine in February this year. At the same time, in response to the Estonian Foreign Minister Reinsaru congratulated Ukrainian special forces on the bombing of the Crimea Bridge , Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zakharova said that he had asked the Russian Procuratorate to file a criminal lawsuit against him. Considering that the three countries of Baltic belong to NATO countries, Russia's tough wording has aroused NATO concerns.

According to reports from Russian media such as Observation, Russia has a basis for accusing the "Nazization" of Ukraine, Polish and the Baltic three countries. The reason why these countries have "Nazization" is not so much for "anti-Semitism" but rather for "anti-Russia" through extremism, which aroused such a strong reaction from Russia. German political scientist Kollschmidt believes that the essence of politics is to distinguish between enemies and friends. Find who is our enemies, who is our friends, unite our friends, and oppose our enemies. Whether it is Ukraine, Poland, or the Baltic Three Kingdoms, the biggest reason for their anti-Russia is not that some politicians were bribed by the West, but that these countries were too deeply influenced by Russia in the past.

Ukraine, Russia and Belarus claims to be the three Slavic brothers, and the three countries recognize Kiev Rus as their mother country. Ukraine originally belonged to the Tsarist Russian Empire and later became a Soviet republic. Russia's influence on Ukraine was from the inside out. Poland and Russia have been enemies in history. The West has divided Poland several times and Tsarist Russia and are both participants. After World War II , Poland has become the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union. Russia's influence on Poland cannot be ignored. The historical grudges between the three Baltic countries and Russia were even stronger. During the reign of Peter the Great, after winning the Northern War, Peter successfully seized the Baltic estuary and soon annexed the three small Baltic countries. The related struggles have not stopped for hundreds of years. During World War II, in order to gain more advantages in the future anti-German struggle, Stalin sent troops to directly occupy the Three Baltic Kingdoms. At the end of the last century, the first to sound the horn of the collapse of the Soviet Union was the Baltic Three Kingdoms. To this day, the Three Kingdoms are still scared of Russia.

The five countries want to become independent countries. One problem that cannot be avoided is how to eliminate Russia's influence. From a long-term focus point, the best way is to accuse Russia of its injustice in its actions, that is, to turn Russia into an enemy of these countries, and then find a suitable friend, and to criticize and praise both will help these countries enhance their sovereignty and independence. From the perspective of realistic possibilities, only the "Nazis" can assume this dual function, so "Nazism" has taken root in these countries.
And "Nazi" as an extreme idea of advocating "racism" is not a tool that can be used casually. So when Nazist ideas took root in these countries, humanitarian disasters that persecuted the Russian tribe occurred frequently. Russia believes that this seriously threatened its national security, undermined Russia's historical identity, and endangered the lives of the Russian tribe. Therefore, Russia launched a special military operation against Ukraine, and now it issued the same warning to the three Baltic countries. It is hard to say whether it will launch a "blitzkrieg" against the three Baltic countries again.

NATO is highly nervous about this because the three Baltic countries are all NATO members. If Russia strikes these three countries, it means going to war on NATO. If a war breaks out between Russia and NATO, not only will the whole of Europe be out of control, but there is also a high possibility that the nuclear war will break out, resulting in the destruction of human civilization. So, while Russia issued a warning, NATO said it would conduct strategic nuclear exercises in an area 600 miles from the Russian border.Although NATO officials have repeatedly emphasized that this exercise has nothing to do with Russia, everyone actually knows that this "emphasis" is because they are afraid that Russia will not see it.
At present, Russia and NATO have reached a tit-for-tat state. In the face of core interests and concerns, no one is willing to take a step back. But as long as you don't retreat, a nuclear war may break out at any time. Russia's doomsday nuclear submarine Belgorod has gone to sea, and NATO is unwilling to make any concessions. Although both sides have a consensus that they are unwilling to break out of a nuclear war, it is hard to say whether direct conventional conflict will break out at a time of tension.
