UPD 1 te būs svaigi atjauninātā US armijas operacionālā doktrīna, ko būtu jāstudē, lai izprastu pret ko tad NATO būs jābūt gataviem karot un galvenais, kā to darīs mūsu sabiedrotie. Doktrīna nav žurnāla raksts, ja jau te ATKLĀTĀ TEKSTĀ ir pateikts, ka “RU advance its interests in former Soviet states. Without a viable land force capable of opposing the Russian army and its irregular proxies, such adventurism is likely to continue undeterred.”, tad turpināt gatavoties “dziesmu kariem” ir stulbi vai noziedzīgi.
[..]Russian annexation of the Crimean Peninsula and use of conventional andunconventional land forces in Ukraine suggest that Russia is determined to expand its territory and assert its power on the Eurasian landmass. Russia deployed and integrated a range of diplomatic, information,military, and economic means to conduct what some analysts havedescribed as “non linear” operations. Russia conducted operations to pursue its war aims below the threshold that would elicit a concerted North Atlantic Treaty Organization response. In addition, Russia used cyberspace capabilities and social media to influence perceptions at home and abroad and provide cover for large-scale military operations. While the long- term results of the incursion into Ukraine are not yet certain, Russia demonstrated the centrality of land forces in its effort to assert power and advance its interests in former Soviet states. Without a viable land force capable of opposing the Russian army and its irregular proxies, such adventurism is likely to continue undeterred. Russia’s actions highlight the value of land forces to deter conflict as well as special operations and conventional force capability to project national power and exert influence in political contests.[..]
well, well.. that means that now it must be clear for everybody with a head instead of crackpot that the only true reassurance to Baltic states about NATO readiness to defend their territory will be deploying there land forces able to deter not only symbolically, but operationally Russia attack…
