A retired General of NATO: a nuclear war with Russia may begin within a year.
Former Deputy commander of NATO in Europe Richard Shirreff said that the North Atlantic Alliance risks in the coming year to start a nuclear war with Russia.
According to a retired General, NATO is obliged to strengthen its defenses in Eastern Europe. In particular, in the Baltic States. In his opinion, the Russian attack on Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia is quite real in the near future, and NATO should not allow this to happen.
Note that the retired General is a part-time science fiction writer. He wrote the book "2017: the War with Russia", which describes fictional events. But the General does not get tired to repeat that all this can happen in reality.
