As the Russian conflict continues to spread, NATO-Russia relations become increasingly tense and there may be a possibility of a fire between the Russian military and NATO. And just yesterday, Russian troops really opened fire on NATO.

On October 3, according to Reuters, a Russian naval destroyer "attacked" Danish warships in the Baltic Sea. At the time, the Russian naval destroyer fired weapons at Danish warships and helicopters and used electronic warfare to interfere with the Danish warships' navigation system.

After the incident, the head of the Danish intelligence agency, Thomas Aarenkil, declared: "We believe that Russia is currently waging a hybrid war against Denmark and the West. Russia wants us to believe that the threat of war is inevitable. They want us to live in this fear."

Reports from British media and statements from Denmark prove that this is true.Because of the photos released by Reuters, the Russian destroyer who "attacked" the Danish warships was Lieutenant-General of the Navy of Krakov.¡£The destroyer "attacked" the Danish Navy in the Baltic Sea. Whether it was firing, signal interference or collision, it was a serious act of war. This act was no longer a random attack, but a straightforward "hands-on".

The incident of the launch of Russian warships has in fact triggered the ¡°Article 5¡± of NATO, which states that NATO member states should protect the violated countries and jointly launch an attack on the aggressive countries. In accordance with Article 5 of NATO, NATO countries should immediately formulate offensive measures against Russia.

After the incident, NATO countries remained "calm" as always, even calmer than the last time Russian military aircraft flew into NATO airspace. At that time, NATO countries also severely warned Russia, and Macron also made harsh remarks that if Russian military aircraft violated airspace again, they would decisively shoot down Russian military aircraft. This time, Russian warships opened fire, but NATO countries did not even protest. What exactly is this?

The reaction of NATO countries to the incident of the Russian warships "fighting" is not surprising, because NATO countries have three concerns:

First, they are afraid of being directly involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.The Russian-Ukrainian conflict is now a big dungeon, not even the United States dares to engage easily, now whoever is involved in the conflict will be caught in. The European nations are aware of this, so even though the European countries are not reluctant to support the weapons and funds of Ukraine, it is really to take a direct step, not a few countries are willing to take this risk.

The second is the fear of direct contact with the Russian army.Although European countries seem to be numerous, they are mainly small nations. These countries are much smaller compared to Russia, and even many countries are smaller than Ukraine. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has now become a lasting war, and small nations are difficult to support the consumption of lasting wars. If European nations are involved in conflict, lasting wars will inevitably crush the country, resulting in unimaginable suffering.

Third, the Russian approach could be a trap.The Russian army has frequently tested NATO recently, first dispatching drones to fly into Poland, and then dispatching military aircraft to fly into Estonia. The airspace of NATO countries has been "violated" twice. In addition to protests and harsh words, NATO countries seem to have no better response. However, the Russian military's move largely only wants to put pressure on Trump to make the United States consider more European security issues when assisting Ukraine. Putin is playing balance, not really fighting Europe. Therefore, although European countries are nervous, they will not be serious about Russia.

Therefore, this time the Russian warship "attacked" the Danish warship is highly likely a pressure action by the Russian army. The purpose is to warn NATO not to act rashly, while at the same time creating tension to put pressure on Trump and gain greater negotiation space for Russia.

It¡¯s a clever game, not a real military action, and the logic behind it is still a matter of balance. NATO¡¯s best response would be to strongly condemn it and ultimately fail to do so.£¬ This is the best way and the most helpless way.

Will the Russian army's pressure work this time? Time will give the right answer.
