北约对俄“双钳攻势”的波罗的海拐点

The Baltic Inflection Point in the "Double-clamp" Offensive Deployment of NATO

华沙峰会进一步强化了北约与俄罗斯的军事对峙。乌克兰危机后,北约在波罗的海和黑海地区的军事调遣,形成了对俄罗斯的"双钳攻势"。"北钳"重点攻防以巴伦支—波罗的海国家为核心的近北极地区。"南钳"重点攻防以巴尔干—黑海国家为核心的东南欧地区。北约缺乏对波罗的海国家的援助能力,也无法应对俄罗斯区域反制系统的威胁。如今,北约采取了一系列措施来闭合在波罗的海的战略空隙,但面临俄罗斯巨大的军事压力。波罗的海是北约东扩的力衰之地,亦是俄罗斯撕开北约包围圈的最佳选点。

Warsaw Summit further aggravated the military confrontation between NATO and Russia. After the Ukraine Crisis, NATO sent army in Baltic and Black Sea, posturing the ＂double clamp＂ offensive de- ployment.＂north clamp＂ focuses on guarding Arctic region, including Barents and Baltic. ＂south clamp＂ focuses on defending allies surrounding Balkans- Black Sea. NATO is short in power to support Baltic states, and lacks credibility and capability to settle threats posed by Russian ＂anti-access/area denial＂ system. Nowadays, NATO, being confronted with great military pressures from Russia, has taken a series of measures to cut down the strategic gap in Baltic area. Baltic area actually makes the loophole of NATO＇s en- largement, which could also be the idealized location for Russia to break the encirclement set up by NATO.
