Bulgaria will suffer in a possible confrontation with NATO

When something threatens us, we destroy it, but Bulgaria will also suffer, says Russian military political scientist Alexander Perendzhiev.

A possible military confrontation between Russia and NATO could turn out to be worse than the Caribbean crisis, because then only Cuba was threatened, and here – the countries of Europe, the political scientist is convinced.

He explained to Lenta.ru that European countries could potentially be under attack, from where NATO missiles could be controlled.

If NATO’s infrastructure moves forward and appears in Ukraine, missile flight time will be reduced to 7-10 minutes, and with the deployment of hypersonic weapons – to five. Such consequences were named by Russian President Vladimir Putin, News.bg reports.

“I think that if something really starts to happen, it will be worse than the Cuban missile crisis. Because it was only Cuba, and here is the whole of Europe. The problem is that it will affect not only the territory of Ukraine but also neighboring countries. “Eastern European countries where the missiles will be controlled – not in vain US President Joe Biden speaks of his intention to strengthen Bulgaria and Romania,” said the military political scientist.

According to Perendzhiev, Russia does not want to enter into this confrontation, especially considering that in this case not only Ukraine but also a number of European countries will suffer. However, when it comes to protecting citizens, little choice remains.

He noted that Russia and NATO now face a rather simple choice: either agree or Russia will have to defend itself. There is no other option.

“When the enemy threatens us, we destroy him. It is clear that this will only bring a new confrontation, but is not a blow to us a confrontation? The safety of our citizens always comes first,” Perendzhiev said.

On December 17, the Russian Foreign Ministry published draft agreements between Russia and NATO and the United States on security guarantees.
