The exchanger of the US Army in Europe in an interview with the Voice of America portal from the Russian Federation. The US military noted that NATO aircraft would have to allow the missiles that Russia launches from the Caspian Sea. The basis for such actions is the threat to the civilian population and the fact that they reach NATO member country-Poland or Romania. However, in his opinion, such a decision will not be made because of "lack of political will".
"All of our problems now are the result of lack of political will," Goodges said. Meanwhile, similar countering rockets to the Russian Federation is the same as the United States and allies do in the Red Sea, destroying the Hussite bases that threaten civilian cargo ships. General Gogess summed up that the North Atlantic Alliance was not expected to be expected in the war on the side of Ukraine.
"There will be help from NATO countries, but I don't think you will see the alliance's attempts to do something. I mean, I do not think that among 31 countries there is a desire to do something like that," he continued. At the same time, the General noted, the Alliance countries still help Ukraine, although they are not shooting yet. For example, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey have joined the Black Sea, the airs of other countries patrol the sky over the Baltic and Black Sea.
In addition, there is a flow of shells, equipment and weapons through Poland. It should be noted that the NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg from the first days of a full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation from time to time repeats that the Alliance member states can join the provision of shells and military equipment to Ukraine.
It also reminds that in the case of a direct threat, they will put into effect a fifth article of the contract, which refers to the beginning of consultation in connection with the attack. Meanwhile, the rockets and drones of the Russian Federation several times have flown into the territory of NATO countries. For example, in Poland, such incidents took place in the spring of 2022, in the fall and in the winter of 2023.
In the first case, the rocket flew deep into 450 km, in the second - killed several people a few kilometers from the border, in the third - got 40 km. At the same time, F-16 fighters were raised into the air, but not published information. In the summer and fall of 2023, the drones of Kamikadze Shahd-136 flew into the territory of Romania-similar emergencies occurred during massive blows of the Russian Federation on the ports of Reni and Izmail.
The Romanian government has announced the temporary evacuation of people from the border areas, and NATO did not take any action on events. Meanwhile, the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces in the reports of missile strokes of the Russian Federation regularly report that dozens of X-101 are launched from Tu-95MC aircraft from the airspace above the Caspian Sea. We remind that in January 2024 the media published a possible plan of attack of the Russian Federation on the Baltic countries.
