Yesterday in Grozny 28 policemen were injured and 10 were killed while preventing a terrorist attack. Commenting on the situation in Grozny, the speaker of the parliament of Chechnya, Dukuvakha Abdurakhmanov, stated: “Information that terrorists have achieved successes in confrontation with the police is false. Videos which are being spread on social networks are false and have been shot outside Grozny long ago. These people are fulfilling the tasks of the Western special services and acting in the interests of the USA and NATO, which want to weaken Russia economically and politically. But they have failed! The dreams of Obama, Merkel and their supporters won’t come true, while our national leader Vladimir Putin and his close supporter Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of Chechnya, protect Russian interests.”
However, Konstantin Sivkov, the President of the Academy for Geopolitical Problems, treats NATO's plans more carefully: “There is a view that direct military aggression by NATO against Russia is unlikely. Sometimes I can hear an opinion that there is no use in comparing the nuclear potential of NATO with the Russian Armed Forces, if we have a nuclear sword which enables us to restrain anything.”
According to Sivkov, “there are no fools in NATO; they won’t take a bear by the tooth, launching the tank attacks of 1941. Before any military aggression against Russia, they are providing soft power aggression, trying to undermine it from inside. Preparations for the process have been started. When the system of operation and strategic control and control of strategic nuclear forces are disorganized, the first attack by special services and rapid deployment forces will take place under shouts that it is necessary to control the nuclear forces and nuclear facilities on the uncontrolled Russian territory. The nuclear forces are taken under control, and a normal tank attack will take place, like in Yugoslavia and other countries, on Russian territory, when Russia is unable to response. This is a possible scenario.”
Sivkov is sure that’s why “in the countries which border Russia and Belarus, the countries of the former Warsaw Pact and probably in Ukraine now, they have started the first special operation by rapid deployment forces. Their contingents are not sufficient to threaten Russia in the current situation. However, considering developments, it could be a real force which could create strategic conditions for a direct land attack by NATO. We should be ready for this now, as NATO is not a bubble.”
