According to Leonid Ivashov, (vice-head of Russian Academy of Geopolitical Problems, ex. head of Dept. of International Military C-peration of Russian Defense Ministry, general-lieutenant ) RAGP has a document that proves that NATO is preparing a scenario of Kaliningrad take over. Title of mentioned document is to be: "Safeguarding of the US Military access to strategic regions of the World". The plan involves usage of 2 US divisions, one German and one British plus some independent brigades from other NATO countries (including Poland and Denmark). Conclusion is that appropriate countermeasures shall be taken quick and serious mode including the relocation of nuclear weapons to Kaliningrad.

Вице-президент Российской академии геополитических проблем (РАГП), экс-начальник управления международного военного сотрудничества Министерства обороны России генерал-полковник Леонид Ивашов в интервью "Комсомольской правде-Калининград" рассказал о любопытном документе, который находится в распоряжении РАГП. Это исследование называется "Обеспечение доступа вооруженных сил США в стратегические регионы мира", заказчиком которого выступил объединенный комитет начальников штабов вооруженных сил США. В документе описываются военные операции по овладению важными стратегическими районами мира, в их числе и Калининградской областью. Американские эксперты утверждают, что сегодня у Вооруженных сил России боеспособны лишь части постоянной готовности. Значит, Москве придется проводить мобилизационные мероприятия сроком до 30 дней. Поэтому авторы предлагают заблаговременно сосредоточить на будущем театре военных действий необходимые запасы вооружений и военной техники, выделить для проведения операции 2 сухопутные дивизии США, по одной дивизии от Великобритании и Германии, а также бригады от других членов НАТО (в том числе Польши и Дании). А также задействовать вооруженные силы Литвы, Латвии и Эстонии, корабли и авиацию Северо-Атлантического альянса. "К этому сценарию надо относиться серьезно. Сорвать планы можно усилением оборонного потенциала страны, готовностью населения России к сопротивлению, в том числе и ведению партизанской войны, включению политических и экономических рычагов воздействия на блок НАТО (например, уход из европейских организаций, прекращение поставок газа, нефти, электроэнергии). Вплоть до разрыва дипломатических отношений с государствами, которые готовы участвовать в этом сценарии", - заявил Леонид Ивашов, добавив, что в настоящий момент Балтийское море из моря мира превращается в море конфронтации, а значит "Калининградскую группировку Балтийского флота нужно укреплять". Публикацию прокомментировал военный обозреватель "Комсомолки" Виктор Баранец: "Для меня все эти натовские прожекты - уже давно не открытие. Всего несколько лет назад, во время службы в Министерстве обороны, я имел возможность знакомиться и с другими документами, добытыми за рубежом. Руководство Минобороны еще в середине 90-х, когда приближение НАТО к нашим западным и северо-западным границам становилось реальностью, предлагало Кремлю сделать контршаг - разместить в Калининградском районе тактическое ядерное оружие. Это могло бы сильно остудить стремление НАТО упереться в российские кордоны. Но Ельцин струсил, побоявшись негативной реакции США. Теперь же мы имеем то, что имеем". По словам военного обозревателя "КП", "боеготовность Балтфлота, его военно-техническая мощь в результате бездарной военной реформы хиреют день ото дня". "У меня создается впечатление, что некоторые наши балтийские адмиралы больше озабочены не кризисом флота, а тем, как бы превратить его в перевалочную базу нефти", - считает издание.

Eh ? About as likely as the Pope becoming a rap star. Its a bit like saying the Russians are secretly planning to take over Portsmouth. It might have been a war scenario from years ago - in the event of total collapse of the USSR etc . No doubt the Russians had similar plans to occupy ports like Portsmouth at one time.
...plus the UK spare a division ? Where from ? We're stretched thinner than a condom. People must think we have lots of them sitting idle.

Interesting. A multinational Army of around five divisions to invade and conquer Kaliningrad.
I am not surprised if someone makes such plans, but I doubt anyone has the political will to do this.. even Poland p-)

Anyone know the strenght of Russian forces in the Kaliningradskaya oblyast?

I think for such plan to succeed they'd also need some naval assets, and aviation. If the NATO managed to gain naval superiority in the Baltic, Russia would be unable to sustain its forces in Kaliningrad resulting in defeat for them, even if they were facing less numerous or even less advanced forces... Or at least I think that is common sence

Formerly known as East Prussia.

It's an autonimous economic zone (http://editorial.*****images.com/source/search/FrameSet.aspx?s=ImagesSearchState|0|0|30|0|0|0|1|||0|0|0|0|0|0|0|0|1|kaliningrad|0|0|0|0&p=1) and a huge russian military base. That's why they won't give it up.

BMWs, Chevys and H2s are manufactured there ....

A new Hummer vehicle is seen at the automobile plant in Kaliningrad, 24 June 2004. A Russian factory in the Baltic enclave has begun assembling a Hummer vehicles. The fact that cooperation with GM represents the first serious American investment in the region. Assembly of the off-road vehicle is the first in what is seen as a continuing series of undertakings by the giant automaker in Kaliningrad. The agreement on cooperation looks to the production of three other GM models at the plant. The Kaliningrad holding currently produces cars for the Korean firm KIA Motors and the German firm BMW.

The plan involves usage of 2 US divisions, one German and one British plus some independent brigades from other NATO countries (including Poland and Denmark).
It turned into BS at that point.

The German constitution does not allow unprovoked acts of war against other countries.
Our military is for defense (and, in recent years, peace keeping).

We call it Królewiec in Poland but Königsberg or Kaliningrad refers to city itself. Whole region is called Kalinningradzkij Oblast in russian Prusy in polish or Ost Preussen(sp?) in German... To make story short until WW2 it was sometimes in Polish hands, sometimes in German, sometimes independent.... but never Russian.

Weird, I've been daydreaming about such a scenario at least since I was fifteen. Odd that somebody would actually come out and say something like that fifteen years later.

I wonder what they'd do with it after they took it over? Who would they give it to? Germany, Poland, Lithuania? An independent "New Prussia"? Strange thought.

How many Prussians are even there now?
None. They are all dead.
Or, they've all been relocated within the current borders of Germany (like my wife's great-uncle's wife) or other countries. My ancestors, by contrast, haven't set foot in Prussia since the time of Bismark. I tried to get in during 1993, but that was when the Russians were vacating the Baltic States and filling up the Oblast with soldiers. Nosey tourists like me weren't exactly welcome at the time.

Orginal Prussians were nor Slavic nor Germanic, they were rather more Baltic tribe AFAIK, there were several pagan tribes in this area like Pruss, Kurpies, Jatzwings (sorry polish names). They raided northern areas of Poland, so in 1247(?) Polish prince Konrad Mazowiecki "invited" Teutonic Knights who were at this time one of Warior Monks orders like Maltanese, or Templars and resided in Holly Land, after failure of last crusade they were invated to fight with pagans in europe. They took over this terrains and since most of them were germans -germanized whole area (at the beginig many of them were from france belgium denmark switzerland and other areas as well), After conquering Prusses they turned against Poland and began invading and incorporating northern and central provinces of Poland, in 1410 Joint Polish-Lithuanan-Rus forces aided by others (i.e. Tatars) Invaded area and defeated Teutonic Knights and their allies, it is belived to be greatest battle of medieval times (ca.70000 soldiers) Allied forces captured all 47(9) banners of Teutonic army and killed all but one Komturs (Something like generals) including Grand Master. Later teutonic order was weak and i.e. around 1453(?) Polish forces bribed Czechs :-D - defenders of Marienburg (Malbork) and captured capital of Teutonic Order - one of greatest fotresses at this time. Later there were several uprising against German spraking nobles (most peasants were slavic or polish speaking) and in 1525 Teutonic order was dissolved and new Prinnce of Prussia Albreht Hohenzolern pleadged loyality to Poland. This situation was basicaly until end of 18 century when Poland was partitioned. Ater WW1 thia area become part of Weimar Republic (Germany), Ater WW2 part of it was given to poland and second part was annexed by Soviet Union.

Why do you think it is a hole? The region is being economically developed as we speak. What do you have against it?

I have nothing against it, but it is isolated and the I must admit that Polish and Lithuanian economies are much more dynamic and will develop much faster then Kallingrad Enclave. It will be a whole among EU dominated area in that region is what I was trying to get at when i said hole. It is totally surrounded by NATO and EU states.

Kaliningrad is something or will be something to bitch about. Its not about todays russia or todays nato, its a logical thing when you think of geopolitical issues.

All over the wold and history theres is some factors than can make you predict future issues/conflicts. And all over history theres been one thing for certain, when you have a country divided in two parts or have a remote part, that will beg for conflict when that country wanna become bigger. It will be in russias self interest to reunion kaliningrad with the rest of russia geografically , if not now, later. So you can count that part of the world as a hotbed, if not now as I said later.

Its as logical as theres always be a conflict in kashmir india. You have a group that is ethinically more relate to pakistan. Even if the majorities of pakis in india become india friendly today, theres nothing that sais that a ethnic uprising will come again about hundred years when the political status changes. Its just a question of time. Same thing with the falklands or china/taiwan. just a questionn of time.

For all "probable" conflict any worldwide power/union have some precaussions for. Anything else would be stupid.

Well we say in Poland that "Russia claim every part of land on which anytime in history russian soldier pissed at least once" so you might expect their mole work in future... Our inteligence recently alerted that russian spies increased their activity in Poland. Same situation happened in Germany and yesterday I have heard similar statement on Lithuania. This week we had a "little" espionage scandal in Poland - one polish citizen arested and one russian "diplomat" expelled as a result....

Well we say in Poland that "Russia claim every part of land on which anytime in history russian soldier pissed at least once" so you might expect their mole work in future... Our inteligence recently alerted that russian spies increased their activity in Poland. Same situation happened in Germany and yesterday I have heard similar statement on Lithuania. This week we had a "little" espionage scandal in Poland - one polish citizen arested and one russian "diplomat" expelled as a result....


Yea i heard about spy incident. Too bad Poland started this whole Poland-Russia hate issue. Haters ussualy lose. Funny that "Homo Sovieticus" actually means "Same Soviet", Poles are really smart at commie jokes.

Actually its very logical.

Kaliningrad is something or will be something to bitch about. Its not about todays russia or todays nato, its a logical thing when you think of geopolitical issues.

All over the wold and history theres is some factors than can make you predict future issues/conflicts. And all over history theres been one thing for certain, when you have a country divided in two parts or have a remote part, that will beg for conflict when that country wanna become bigger. It will be in russias self interest to reunion kaliningrad with the rest of russia geografically , if not now, later. So you can count that part of the world as a hotbed, if not now as I said later.

Its as logical as theres always be a conflict in kashmir india. You have a group that is ethinically more relate to pakistan. Even if the majorities of pakis in india become india friendly today, theres nothing that sais that a ethnic uprising will come again about hundred years when the political status changes. Its just a question of time. Same thing with the falklands or china/taiwan. just a questionn of time.

For all "probable" conflict any worldwide power/union have some precaussions for. Anything else would be stupid.

Well we do not have interest in hateing each other. Unfortunatelly russia try to piss off Poland all the time. First they stated that Yalta was good for Poland and brought us freedom... then they clasified murdering of 40000 of Polish officers by NKVD in 1940 as regular crime and refused to recognise it as a genocide... which allowed them to extinguish their so called "investigation" without pointing those responsible for it (Stalin, Beria & Co.) then they refused to give us investigation documents (2/3 of it) claiming that they are top secret (After 65 years !!!). Now it seems that russian spy or ex-spy (if there exist something like ex-spy ;-) ) was innvolved in atempted economic take over of Polish main oil rafinery which provide most of Polish oil. So on the other hand we don't want to be in debt and we do our mole work trying to undermine Russian influence in former soviet republics - vide Ukraine. Problem is that ppl on both sides do not hate each other... goverments do not like each other, but it's 1000 years old history :-D

Yep Poland wouldve fully reconstructed it self after WW2, not likely. Besides that, other two incidents the "genocide of Poles" which i only heard about it and havent really researched much, and spies in Balkans have just recently surfaced. I was really surprized when i found out that Poles hate Russia about 3 years ago. I always thought of Poles as our freinds. So im guessing the main hatred comes from "occupation" of Poland by Soviets. Dumb reason to me since we never looked down on you after ww2. Since I cant fint a substantial reason for this hatred bs, i must say that its been artificialy created by your government and other forces (Bzejinskiy), mixing a feel for lost Livonian Empire that Poland has been trying to get back since WW1.

You guys think too much of your selves but in fact you really dont hold any original/unique value: your backed up militarily by US and size of your country is very small.

Oi lads! To all of You.
I'm new on this forum as You can see. I am a Pole from the eastern side (just 200km from Kaliningrad). I'd like to welcome all of You (it doesn't matter what nationality are You anyway). Oh! I almost forgot, don't be mad at my poor English...

So, let's get to the point.
Killing 40000 officers and Polish intelligence WAS a genocide without no doubt. I wonder, how would West European countries react, if Russia would have denied, that murdering by NKVD their citizens was only a normal crime, as their historians want to see it...

Kaliningrad is a very strong military region for Russia. I would say, whole Kaliningrad is a military base to make excursions to the West.
As far as I am concerned, it is highly strategic region both for NATO and Russia. There is sense in building a plan to take over Kaliningrad, but I think this plan was made for the time, when Russia will get mad on Europe (as we saw that with Ukraine), and then it would make sense.

Well thanks for reading this...
When I'll think of something new, i'll get You informed.

Poverty? Sure.

Crime and corruption? Are you implying that the two are more endemic in Kaliningrad than in Western Europe inherently?

Disease? Where did you pop this little gem out of?

So, of the four words you used to qualify Kaliningrad, *one* could *sort of* be argued to be truthful. Of course, relatively speaking, the worst poverty in Eastern Europe is still comparative wealth, when one looks at Africa, South Asia etc.

Of course, Americans/Western Europeans like to believe that their way of life is NORMAL. That the level of opulence they have an apparently 'inherent right to' is NORMAL. When it is clear that history and precedent show that it is on the back of the rest of the world that your 'normality' rests.

Each Western child consumes seven times as many resources as an average Indian child. That's some food for thought.

You're, analogically speaking, a thief blaming victims of theft for their predicament.

as for "owning" this region its complicated but basicly there was small "nation" Prussians ethnicaly connected more to Lithuanians od Estonians than Poles later in XII century one of Polish diuks called Teutonic order(mainly germans but also knights from other western countrys) for support but they rebbeled and created country we made union with Lithuanians their prince Jagiello married our queen we won few wars and Prussia become part of Polish Lithuanian Commonwelth but when we had problems with Sweedes Cossacs Russians and Turks they become independent and that is how Prussia came to power....

Just becuase youve adapted wester style of economy while Russia had to totaly change it economic structure means nothing in the long run.

I wasnt talking about Poland here, that whole issue is beyond Poland.

When this is all over we should put Bzejinskiy on a stake through his ass and tell everybody it was an accident, he fell on it himself.

Why you're always talking about Brzezinski? He means almost nothing in Poland and doesn't have any influence neither on Polish goverment nor people.

Bzejinski has a good influence in US foreign affairs, he is Polish, US has large influence over Poland.

I really don't know if I should laugh or cry after reading all those posts... For sure I learned many new things, like:
- I live in German city of Gdansk
- Kaliningrad is the center of high-level life
- Berzezinski is my guru (he might be... but who is he? :lol:)
- Poland wants to be an empire. Go Wielka Rzeczpospolita (http://www.wielkarzeczpospolita.net)! You have revealed our misterious plan for ruling the world. Here http://www.wielkarzeczpospolita.net/img/mapa_big.jpg is our strategic map (red color = new Polish lands).

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

M4ko, my friend:
You have to admit that "this small country" has overplayed Your "big empire" like a schoolboy in Ukraine ;)
It's not the military power - it's politics, dude :D

Drako, that is only my opinion that Poland wants to bring back Livonia judging by how you guys are acting. And also from reading how Polish were surprised when Germans attacked them while they had a mindset to acquire Germany for themselves (not at that time but tahts what was supposedly planned)

ok fine keep oil as part of your economy, we still have more GDP per capita then Russia.

Have your land mass, we'll have our economy.

Look at Germany or Spain to a lesser degree - they are both big economic players and relativly small countries. They are not irrelavent and are rahther important in international trade.
I used spain as an example b/c it has simular population 40 million.

wow Russians on this forum seem to be living in a world of their own. they're still see reality though 1950s lense when they had a huge powreful modern army. Lets face it today Russia isn't what it use to be and you guys are hitting way above your weight - G8 yeah no way G7.

Ladies, gentlemen, girlie men and supermen... This thread has reached the edge of parody. As I wrote, my initial post was about the nonsense idea of NATO invading Russian enclave of Kaliningrad. I thought that this idea is obvious and doesn't require explaining. Apparently I was wrong.

Then I would like to ask ALL of You to stop posting in this thread. This is going to nowhere as all I could see here are Polish, Russian, German prejudices, American, British etc... ignorance over the issue and lots of ego pumping on all sides...

As a founder of this thread I must ask Hood to give it a mercy lock.
