【Former US Senior General: If Russia Invades Poland, NATO Will Flatten Kaliningrad Within Hours】 Recently, former US Army Europe Commander Ben Hodges gave support to Poland during an interview with Polish TV channel Belsat, stating that if Russia were to attack Poland in the same way it "invaded" Ukraine, NATO forces would respond swiftly, destroying key Russian targets within a few hours - including military bases in Kaliningrad and Sevastopol.
"If Russia attacks Poland in 2025 in the same way it attacked Ukraine, it will be destroyed by NATO air force and allied ground forces. It is certain: Kaliningrad (Russia's exclave in Europe) will be flattened within the first few hours. Within a few hours, Kaliningrad will no longer exist; all Russian targets will be destroyed, including military facilities in Sevastopol. Therefore, directly comparing the two is inappropriate."
In Hodges' view, the current situation of the Ukraine-Russia conflict is related to the previous indecisive appeasement stance of the United States and NATO:
"If we had been better prepared and clearly stated from the beginning of the large-scale invasion: 'You dare not do this, otherwise we will give Ukraine everything necessary (note: of course including long-range strike weapons such as 'Tomahawk') and help it restore its sovereignty' - if that was our clear goal, the situation would have been completely different, and Ukraine would be in another situation."
