Sir Alexander Richard Shirreff, former Deputy Supreme allied commander of NATO in Europe, warned of a possible nuclear war with Russia, which could erupt in the coming year.

The British General said that Moscow is nurturing aggressive plans in relation to the Baltic countries. In order to prevent a Russian invasion, which inevitably will lead to escalation of the conflict and nuclear exchange, NATO needs to urgently increase its force in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. Shirreff suggested that as a pretext for intervention Moscow, confident in the weakness of NATO, can use the infringement of the rights Russian-speaking minorities in the Baltic States.

Shirreff was known as one of the most consistent of the “hawks” among the leadership of the North Atlantic bloc. In 2014, he resigned as Deputy head of allied forces in Europe and started writing literary works — in particular his new book “the War with Russia: 2017” is dedicated to the hypothetical conflict of Brussels and Moscow.

We will remind, on may 5, NATO’s top commander in Europe Curtis, Scaparrotti called to confront the “resurgent Russia”. The General said, the Alliance needs to show flexibility and willingness to fight, responding quickly to challenges. Scaparotti also noted Russia’s desire to project itself as a world power.

Predecessor, Scaparotti, us General Philip Breedlove, said on 1 March that the U.S. and its allies taking action in case of war with Russia in Europe. 25 Feb-General expressed the readiness of the United States to fight and defeat Russia in Europe.
