US and NATO troops should better stop posturing up and provoking Russia in the Baltic Sea, as the Russian Baltic Fleet can take control of the entire sea in a short period of time, blocking NATO from even entering the area, Commander of the US Army in Europe Ben Hodges said, according to the Baltic Times.
NATO troops would not be able to do anything to prevent the Russian Baltic Fleet from blocking the Baltic Sea and cutting off the three Baltic states — Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania — from the rest of the military alliance.
“Kaliningrad now has the ability to deny access of our [US] Navy or any NATO Navy to come to the Baltic Sea. From Kaliningrad Russia can stop from entering coming in to the Baltic Sea, and there we have three NATO allies — Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania,” Lieutenant-General Hodges explained, according to the source.
