Recent increased activity of the
Russian Air Force brought attention to NATO and seriously alarmed western
politicians. However, there are concerns that behind those flights does not
only stay Russia’s desire to test the procedures for the alliance's defense,
but the Russians also practice a nuclear attack on Europe.
Situations in Eastern Europe have
been tense for a couple months, and definitely international students,
attending University of Wisconsin-Parkside, are aware of this issue. One of the
student is from Poland, who expressed his thoughts about this situation in a
few sentences.
Dominik Bakowski, a
22-year-old junior majoring in business, is not worried about the situation,
and treats the practice of Russian Air Force like an unnecessary show of force.
“I would like to recall that Putin is not able to make a singular decision about possible nuclear attack. The decision has to go through experts and consultants (around 50 people). Russians have an excellent awareness of what would happen and knowledge of the painful consequences for their country,” he mentioned.
Although, Brianna
Hayden, a 20-year-old American student, is concerned about the whole situation
in Europe.
“I would not be happy
with the fact of United States being a part of the next world war, especially
knowing that our country is a member of NATO,” Hayden said.
Experts say that aggressive flight is not just a show of force and an attempt to intimidate the enemy. They also have a very practical dimension for provoking a reaction of western air forces. It allows Russian for accurate diagnosis of NATO missile defense system.
