Nota de un medio de USA sobre las últimas intercepciones de aviones rusos de combate por la NATO. IMPORTANTE. 1. Russia Stokes Fears of a European Invasion A disclosure that Russia launched a simulated attack on NATO member Denmark is raising concerns that President Vladimir Putin could be preparing an invasion of Europe, according to a new report. The simulated attack took place on Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic Sea, the Danish Defense Intelligence Service (DDIS) has revealed, stating that Russia sent military jets equipped with live missiles to Bornholm in June. DDIS did not release further details but said the simulated attack was the largest Russian military exercise over the Baltic Sea since 1991. Russia has been testing NATO defenses in recent weeks, the news website Inquisitr reported. In a period of 24 hours, Russia dispatched 19 combat aircraft to test the defenses of neighboring countries and also test-launched a ballistic missile in the Barents Sea, an arm of the Arctic Ocean. The Inquisitr article was cited by Johnsons Russia List, a project of the Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies at The George Washington Universitys Elliott School of International Affairs. With relations strained between Russia and NATO over Russias involvement in Ukraine, retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. David Deptula told the Daily Beast: It is not farfetched that at some point within the next two years Putin makes a more aggressive move in Eastern Europe and uses a nuclear threat to deter a NATO response. Washington Post columnist George Will recently theorized that Putin could be aiming to destroy NATO by invading one of the Baltic states, Latvia, Lithuania, or Estonia, which like Ukraine have Russian-speaking minorities. Putin invades one of these NATO members, he wrote. NATO invokes article 5 — an attack on any member is an attack on all — or NATO disappears and the Soviet Union, NATOs original raison detre, is avenged.
