How to increase the country's military budget? In the US, not particularly zamorachivayas drawn to the light and re-started the media duck on the nuclear threat of Moscow. The scenario for the development of events left the old one: Russia is attacking the Baltic region, NATO is defending its ally, thereby jeopardizing the existence of Russia, in response to this, Russia is using nuclear weapons.

In 2016, this nonsense of interest readers did not cause. What the publishers hoped for in 2018, it's hard to say. Readers in the comments were puzzled by the question: why does Russia need three Baltic small states. They are also called "stalls with sprats". And some reminded that initially Hitler and Napoleon attacked Russia, and not Russia attacked the West. They noted that it was NATO that, over the past years, was being selected to the borders of Russia, and not vice versa. Readers are puzzled, what for in general to be at war with Russia.

Statements by the head of the British General Staff, Nicholas Carter, suggested that Russia is capable of launching "hostile actions", and quickly and in a way that no one is waiting for. The aggression of Russia can be aimed at destroying the infrastructure for ensuring security in Europe and undermining the credibility of NATO. This is another way to get money out of the budget for defense. Only the majority of the readers of the Daily Mail, The Telegraph and the Guardian are quite critical of Carter's statements and believe that Russia is not the enemy of Britain. There were also such comments: "Stop this ridiculous alarmism. Many of us would be glad if our country was headed by Putin. He would not allow it to become a litter of Europe, "" There is no point in starting a war with Russia with us. I begin to think that Putin is the only person who is able to be the leader of his country, "" NATO spends 15 times more on Russia's armament. Who threatens whom? ".

Earlier, after the statement of the British Defense Minister Gavin Williamson on Russia's ability to destroy the country's vital infrastructure, the special services authorities accused the minister of alarmism and provocation of "panic and chaos".

Australia generally distanced itself from the doctrine developed by the United States, according to which Russia and the PRC were called a more dangerous threat to the world than terrorism. "We have a different view of Russia and China. We do not see a military threat from Australia from Russia and China, "Australian foreign minister Julie Bishop said in an interview with Sky News Australia. Indeed, Australia even conducts joint military exercises with the PRC. The only threat to Australia, according to the leadership of the country, is the DPRK.
