Polish Strategist Warns NATO of Potential Russian Attack, Citing Lithuania as Likely Target

The Risk of Remote Russian Aggression Against NATO

According to ХВИЛЯ: Polish strategist Piotr Kulpa, speaking on political analyst Yuriy Romanenko's broadcast, has raised the alarming possibility of Russia launching remote military aggression against NATO's eastern flank. Kulpa argues that the growing risk of such action is becoming a tangible reality, particularly as the Kremlin may believe it could act with impunity.

"The primary risk for Europe, and the most obvious one, is the growing risk of Russian aggression against NATO's eastern flank. Why? Because Russia can now do this without facing consequences,"

Kulpa stated.

Potential Targets and Scenarios for Aggression

Among the potential targets for an attack, the strategist singled out Lithuania.

"In all likelihood, the most probable target, I believe, is Lithuania,"

he emphasized. Kulpa also speculated on the possible nature of the aggression, suggesting remote strikes using drones or missiles, potentially aimed at severing the land connection to the Kaliningrad region.

"Yes, we can imagine a strike aimed at the connection to the Kaliningrad region,"

the expert added.

Kulpa noted that Vladimir Putin may possess sufficient sovereignty to initiate military action against NATO's eastern flank without China's consent.

"I believe that just as Russia lacked sufficient sovereignty to stop the war against Ukraine without China's agreement-since that war worked to China's benefit-so Putin has enough sovereignty to start a war against NATO's eastern flank without China. Without China's permission,"

he stressed.

The expert further argued that such a war might not frighten 'Old Europe' but could lead to the dissolution of NATO, as it would reveal the alliance's inability to uphold its mutual defense commitments.

"First, such a war would not scare old Europe. Second, such a war would lead to the breakup, the formal breakup of NATO, because it would become obvious to everyone that no one is helping anyone else and is incapable of doing anything,"

Kulpa summarized.

Moreover, he believes this scenario could create an opportunity for Donald Trump to position himself as a negotiator for Europe and the formal NATO structure in talks with Putin.

"And most importantly: such a war would give Trump the opportunity to become a negotiator on behalf of Europe, of formal NATO, with Putin, and to reach some agreements that would reflect what Putin was talking about in December 2021,"

the strategist concluded.

In addition, Kulpa listed other countries that could potentially face strikes, including:

• Finland
• The Baltic States
• Poland

Kulpa's remarks underscore the escalating anxiety over European security amid heightened tensions between Russia and the NATO alliance. These warnings come as Western intelligence services continue to monitor Russian military posturing and rhetoric closely. Given the current military situation and potential aggression scenarios, European nations may be compelled to reassess their defense strategies and strengthen cooperation within the alliance framework. This could also impact the political landscape in the United States, particularly the potential role of Donald Trump in relations with Russia, with broad implications for international politics and regional security.
