World War 3?

“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.
