BBC： 第三次世界大战模拟

The War Room faces a scenario that has haunted western strategists since the civil war broke out in Ukraine. The Baltic States of Latvia and Estonia are potential Russian military targets, as they have large Russian-speaking minorities. However, unlike Ukraine, which is a member of NATO, these countries are members of the European Union. Because of this, western analysts regularly war game a situation where Russia seeks to exploit ethnic tensions in the Baltic and test the strength of NATO. The committee of senior former British military and diplomatic figures comes together to simulate a hypothetical 'hot war' in Eastern Europe, including the unthinkable - nuclear confrontation. In the war game, Russia's military presence in the Baltics could trigger a chain reaction of events that could potentially lead to an all-out war between the two countries. The simulation also includes the possibility of a nuclear strike on one of the Baltic States if Russia feels its territory is threatened.
