“Russia Threatens To Aim Nuclear Missiles At Denmark Ships
If It Joins NATO Shield”

Russia,
the enemy of the majority of countries in the world. President Vladimir Putin
has transformed Russia from a normal growing country into a warship that fires
at its surrounding countries. First, it wanted to dominate all of Ukraine and
make it part of Russia, and now it threatens to shoot down Denmark ships.
Denmark
is trying its best to join the NATO shield. In August of 2014, officials said
that Denmark “would contribute radar capacity on some of its warships to the
missile shield, which the Western alliance says is designed to protect members
from missile launches from countries like Iran” (Jensen). Moscow does not agree
with this system. The Russian ambassador to Denmark, Mikhail Vanin spoke on
behalf all of Russia. During his speech, he talked about how Denmark joining
NATO would make Denmark targets for Russian missiles.
Russia
thought it was speaking on behalf of NATO, but they were wrong. A NATO
spokeswoman, Oana Lungescu, called Denmark a “staunch” member of NATO, a loyal
one. NATO stands behind Denmark, and ensure that no harm will be caused to
Russia if Denmark joins.
The
tensions between Russia and the West have tremendously increased. “NATO has recorded
increased activity by the Russian navy and air force in the Nordic region”
(Jensen). Will they attack? Most probably not, since it would make Russia NATO’s
target, a group which the United States and many other powerful countries are
in. It is
extremely important to know the current situation in Europe. What is today a
threat can turn into a war tomorrow.
