NATO Condemns Russian 'Nuclear Rhetoric' Amid Kaliningrad Row

NATO has called out what it dubs 'desperate' rhetoric on the part of the Kremlin which invokes potential use of strategic forces, also at a moment of growing accusations from European officials that Moscow is engaged in sabotage against EU interests and assets.

"Russia’s use of hybrid tactics is a sign of desperation. But we will not be dissuaded from our support to Ukraine," NATO spokesperson Allison Hart said Tuesday, adding that "we [NATO] have what it takes to defend every inch of allied territory and remain strong, ready, and able to counter any threat."

"NATO is a defensive alliance and none of our activities or exercises pose a risk to any part of Russia," she reiterated. "We strongly denounce the threat of force, including any irresponsible nuclear rhetoric." Hart added: "We call on Russia to end its unprovoked war in Ukraine."

Moscow has just submitted a formal letter warning the Western military alliance concerning Kaliningrad, an exclave of Russia between NATO members Lithuania and Poland.

The letter accused NATO of an "unprecedented escalation of the military-political situation around Russia's region of Kaliningrad accompanied by highly provocative public statements by NATO Allies' officials."

"This dangerous and reckless course entails high risk of the outbreak of a direct armed conflict with the possibility of Russian strikes against decision-making centers of the alliance's member states right from the outset of the conflict," the letter said.

NATO is incensed at this key line of Moscow's letter:

"Russia will be ready to use the entire arsenal of forces and capabilities at its disposal, including nuclear weapons, in order to defend its territory, should NATO countries undertake any attempt aimed at isolating the Kaliningrad region from the rest of the country."

Apparently this tense back-and-forth was initially triggered by a television show which recently aired in the UK this month.

Newsweek describes, "The statement follows a miniseries aired by British broadcaster Sky News last week, The Wargame, which traces a hypothetical Russian attack on the U.K. and how the country might respond—including by authorizing operations against the Baltic territory of Kaliningrad."

On the other side of things, various diplomatic tensions and crises have been sparked over past years also when Russian broadcasters aired scenes imagining what a nuclear war and strikes on the West would look like, and charting the reach of strategic forces. In the context of the still raging Ukraine war, each side has taken these theoretical scenarios on TV screens more and more seriously.

French President Macron's Approval Rate Hits Record Low As Fuel Crisis Worsens

Via Remix News,

The popularity of French President Emmanuel Macron and his prime minister, Sébastien Lecornu, has plummeted due to the ongoing fuel crisis, BFMTV reports, citing a poll conducted by Odoxa-Mascaret for the online broadcaster Public Sénat and regional media.

The poll was conducted last week, ahead of Emmanuel Macron's speech on rising fuel prices.

The French president's approval rating has fallen to a historic low of just 18 percent. That is a decrease of as much as 7 percentage points from the end of June.

At the same time, support for the French prime minister fell by 8 percentage points. Currently, 24 percent of the French consider him a good head of government.

The poll shows that 75 percent of respondents in France believe the government's announced expansion of assistance for frequent long-distance drivers is insufficient. Sixty-two percent argue that the government should allocate more resources to solve the problem, despite France's budget deficit.

A poll conducted for radio station RTL shows that if Marine Le Pen faced Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the candidate of the far-left La France Insoumise party, in the second round of the French presidential election, she would receive 69 percent of the vote and Mélenchon 31 percent.

The poll shows that Le Pen is well poised to crush the far-left contender.

If Marine Le Pen faced Édouard Philippe, the candidate of the centre-right Horizons party, in the second round, she would receive 57 percent of the vote and Philippe 43 percent.

In both scenarios, Marine Le Pen's lead is larger than in previous similar polls.

For a candidate that has been convicted and attacked for years by the French establishment media, Le Pen's turnaround is incredible.

The study also shows that in the first round, under various candidate scenarios, Marine Le Pen would come first if the election were held now, with 35 to 36 percent of the vote.

The first round of the French presidential election will take place on April 18, 2027 and the second round on May 2. The election will end 12 days before the end of Emmanuel Macron's second and final presidential term, which ends on May 14.

The RTL poll was conducted between September 22 and 24 among a sample of nearly 2,000 people.
