http://www.lithuaniatribune.com/48921/russian-political-scientist-if-nato-attacks-syria-russia-should-occupy-baltic-states-201348921/“Previously I have suggested that if NATO attacks Syria, we need to more our military forces to the Caucasus region. However, now the situation has changed, Russia has to impact there, where it will have a clear strategic advantage, i.e. the Baltic States,†claims the Russian political scientist, Mikhail Aleksandrov.
As the head of the Baltic States department of the CIS research institute, which is partially founded by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, writes in his blog, Russia must clearly show to the West that in case of aggression against Syria, they will have to pay a dear price.
Aleksandrov also writes in his blog that Azerbaijan made enough of reverence to Russia, so it can be “left at restâ€Â.
“On the one hand, Armenia clearly turned towards the West and is no longer a reliable ally. Its behaviour in the conditions of a new global crisis becomes unpredictable. On the other hand, Azerbaijan has taken steps to get close to Russia. Ilham Aliyev probably has given the guarantees to Vladimir Putin that the West will not be able to use the territory of Azerbaijan while preparing operations against Iran and Russia. Under these conditions, the communication of Russia and Iran near the Caspian Sea will not be threatened and Azerbaijan can generally be left at rest,†writes the political scientist.
Therefore, according to Aleksandrov, it is time for Russia to turn to the countries where it has a strategic advantage.
“Russia must clearly show to the West that for the aggression against Syria, they will have to pay dearly. So, Russia has to impact there, where it has a clear strategic advantage, i.e. the Baltic States. As in the Caribbean crisis, Russia has to raise the dilemma for the West: if you are attacking Syria in violation of the international law, we occupy the Baltic States. (Then, in 1962, the Soviet Union threatened to occupy West Berlin and take the Black Sea’s straits zone).
Estonians and Latvians would meet Russians with flowers
In the Russian political analysts’ opinion, to introduce the Russian force in the Baltic countries is quite easy.
“I think that the Russian forces could enter the Baltic States with minimal damages or perhaps even without damages. Unless someone by his own stupidity would fall under the tanks, as it was in 1991. Moreover, I think that half of Estonia’s and Latvia’s population would meet the Russian military with the flowers, as it was in 1940.â€Â
NOTE: I see that Russia haven't changed their ways at all.. Still spreading the communist propaganda... First, Lithuanians never greeted Russians by flowers, they greeted them by gun. Second, f**king people were killed by Soviet Soldiers and tanks on 1991 while trying to defend their freedom, and this dickhead whoever he is makes such remarks.
Aleksandrov also offers some other, to put it mildly, controversial ways of how Russia could demonstrate its power to the West.
“Before the start of the crisis, Russia should hold a demonstration of nuclear explosion on Novaya Zemlya / New Earth [an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean in the north of Russia and the extreme northeast of Europe]. This would show the seriousness of our intentions to the West and the readiness to use a nuclear weapon if necessary. Once again I emphasise: the only language to speak with the United States is the language of force,†continues Aleksandrov in his blog.
So he offers Russia to respond as soon as possible and to strengthen its military force at the border of the Baltic States.
“Already now we have to mobilise our forces near the borders of Latvia and Estonia, as well as in the Kaliningrad region and by the Baltic Sea. It may cool down the hot heads in Washington D.C.,†suggests the head of Baltic States department.
However, Sweden has responded that they're ready to react and support the baltic states in case of a Russian attack, NATO are ready to mobilize their units near the Baltic Border.. This is getting tense and might escalate into world war III...
