MOSCOW, October 7 – RIA Novosti. All conversations in the West about supposedly possible attacks on Kaliningrad are intended only for domestic audiences, retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis said on his YouTube channel.
“Everything that is said about the possibility of attacking Kaliningrad in Europe, NATO or anywhere else is as stupid as possible. This can only be stated for an internal audience: so that people at home think that we can subdue these Russians at any moment, if we give an order, we will take this damn Kaliningrad,” he noted.
At the same time, Davis expressed doubt about the appropriateness of such an information policy.
“This is just another series of mistakes that could have been avoided,” the expert concluded.
Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin, at the plenary session of the 23rd annual meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club, said that Moscow, warning NATO against attempts to carry out threats against the Kaliningrad region, spoke about the possible use of all forces and means, while nuclear weapons were not mentioned.
