Russia understand why NATO is throwing tantrums about the Russian threat in front of the countries of the Alliance: how else would they explain and justify the need for the military containment of Russia? Deputy Director of the Information and Press Department Alexey Zaitsev side on Thursday.
"Such statements by the NATO Secretary General create an unfavourable environment for the dialogue on security guarantees. They go to show that it has become common practice for the Alliance to bolster its negotiating position with military capabilities," he said, answering a question on the statement by Jens Stoltenberg that Alliance is considering increasing its presence in the east, including possible deployment of additional combat groups.
For decades, the Alliance has consistently reinforced its eastern flank, taking over the territories of new member states and creating new infrastructure and weapons depots. Reconnaissance aircraft are present in the air space near the Russian borders almost around the clock. NATO strategic aviation is practicing attacks on Russian facilities and command and control centres. NATO military planning is entirely geared towards the same goal which is “deterring” Russia and achieving military superiority on all potential theatres of war and in all operational environments. The threshold for the use of nuclear weapons is lowered conceptually and technically. The sea is used for projecting power. As a reminder, Romania and Poland are home to the US global missile defence system with the capability of launching Tomahawk missiles.
