Theoretical Implications of NATO Dropping MOAB on Moscow: Hypothetical Scenarios and Baltic States' Response

One thing is certain: should NATO resort to using weapons of mass destruction such as MOAB (Mother of All Bombs) on Moscow, we would already be witnessing a situation akin to World War III. This scenario is truly hypothetical and fundamentally impractical, but a discussion on its potential repercussions and the responses of various entities involved is insightful. NATO would only take such drastic measures if Putin were to lose control and initiate a series of catastrophic actions, including the use of nuclear weapons against Ukraine and potentially Europe.

Let's hope that such a scenario never materializes. However, if we were to indulge in the hypothetical, one must consider the consequential chaos and destruction that would ensue. The intervention of NATO would be a last-ditch effort, a desperate move to prevent further escalation. The outcome would be catastrophic, not just for NATO and Russia, but for humanity at large. This article will explore what such an action might entail, focusing on the responses of Baltic states and the broader implications of such a drastic act.

The Baltic States: NATO's Northern Flank

The question posed sounds as comical and impractical as an immense joke, yet it touches upon serious geopolitical concerns. As a defender of the peace, I must comment that if NATO were to contemplate such an action, the Baltic states, being full members of NATO, would be the first to face the brunt of such a response. The Baltic states—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—are indeed NATO members and would be strategic targets for any retaliatory action. The Baltic region has a rich history, steeped in ambition and territorial disputes, which makes any military action a highly sensitive matter.

One cannot help but recall the legend of the lost city of Atlantis, a mythical utopia that has captivated the human imagination for centuries. If NATO were to make such a decision, and if the Baltic states were to suddenly vanish, as Atlantis did, then there would be a pressing need to understand the reason behind such a mysterious event. In our scenario, however, it is not Atlantis but Moscow that would face a similar fate.

Speculative Scenario: NATO Bombing Moscow and Baltic States' Response

Consider a hypothetical scenario where NATO, under extreme duress, decides to bomb Moscow with MOAB. The Baltic states, realizing their imminent peril, would rally to provide support and defend their sovereignty. These states, fearing for their existence, would be compelled to fight fiercely against NATO to prevent such an action. In fact, a cornered Moscow would perhaps see the Baltics as a critical front in its defensive war. The Baltic states, along with Belarus, would mount a counteroffensive against NATO, marshaling all their resources to fend off the impending attack.

If Moscow were to counterattack, it would likely aim to reclaim the lost Baltic territories. The enclave of Kaliningrad, which borders Lithuania or its phantom version, could be used as a staging ground to launch a counteroffensive against NATO. This could involve efforts to reclaim and annex the Baltic territories, a move that would be seen as a significant shift in the geopolitical landscape. The surface of these lost lands could become the focal point of strategic negotiations, with Russia seeking to legitimize its annexation through various means.

Baltic States as a Quagmire

The Baltic states, in such a scenario, would find themselves in a perilous position. Their borders would be under threat, and they would require the full support of NATO to survive. The NATO alliance would need to be tested in this crisis of extreme proportions. The Baltic states' resistance would be a significant factor in determining the outcome of any conflict. Their survival would depend on their ability to resist and adapt, as well as their capacity to leverage NATO for protection. The Baltic countries would be watching NATO's every move, each day filled with tension and uncertainty.

Conclusion: The hypothetical scenario of NATO dropping MOAB on Moscow is fraught with peril and offers a grim picture of the future. It would require an unprecedented level of violence and military action, and even then, the Baltic states would be at the forefront of the conflict. The outcome of such a scenario is uncertain, but one thing is clear: it would be a turning point in global history.
