Former NATO deputy commander Gen. Sir Alexander Richard Shirreff has published a new book, called 2017 War With Russia, in which he predicts a full-scale nuclear war between NATO and Russia, saying the sides are heading “inexorably” for a nuclear exchange, and that the war will start next May.
The book’s narrative follows the same expectations as other NATO officials who have been angling for bigger budgets and more military buildup, claiming Russian President Vladimir Putin will just randomly invade NATO member nations and start a huge war out of the blue.
Sir Richard says Russia feels “encircled” by NATO, and will invade Latvia in May, and threaten nuclear war if NATO isn’t okay with that. NATO won’t be okay with that, and so the world will basically end with the same nuclear holocaust NATO has hung over our heads for generations.
As with most Western generals, his “solution” is the make the problem even bigger, saying he believes Russia can be scared away from war by sending more NATO troops and vehicles to Russia’s border, which would of course make them feel even more encircled.
Sir Richard argued Putin wants to make Russia “a great power” through the war, though why Russia with Latvia would be a significantly greater power than Russia by itself is unclear.
Looks like all these NATO commanders end up losing their minds sooner or later.
NATO is the greatest threat to world peace. These people are insane and need to be sent to an asyulum where they can be medicated and separated from society.
Latvia??? Judging by its shrinking ad rapidly aging population, not even the Latvians want Latvia….
Great to know that our top generals are a bunch of lunatics. Heaven help us all…
NATO is the problem and they are run but complete madmen and imbeciles
Russia, why don’t you just arm Africa to the teeth-and you might win your first battle.
