"If they attacked the country of NATO, everything would be different than in Ukraine," Goodges said. According to him, the Alliance's military reaction to such aggression would have a completely different scale and pace. The general cited a hypothetical example of a possible attack on Poland in 2025. "If Russia attacked Poland in 2025 as it attacked Ukraine, it would be destroyed by the Air Force and NATO's land," he said.
Goodges emphasized that in the case of such development of events, he would have suffered Kaliningrad, which, he said, would cease to exist in the first hours of the conflict. "Kaliningrad would be eliminated in the first hours. In the first hours-there are no Kaliningrad. All Russian objects were destroyed, any Russian military facilities in Sevastopol," said the former commander. The general stressed that a clear and public position of NATO could prevent war.
"We would say in advance: do not dare to do this. Otherwise we will give Ukraine everything you need and help restore its sovereignty," he said. Goodges also believed that the decisive action of the event could change the course of events in Ukraine. "If it became our clear goal, now the situation would be completely different and Ukraine would be in a different position," he summed up.
