As Russian ground forces advance through the Baltics, NATO prepares a high-risk operation with no way out. The Next World War is a documentary series that takes a terrifying and realistic look at a hypothetical Third World War scenario.
Commentary from the author: my original plan was to have episode 7 be the entire NATO landing. But what I found in writing the script was that in order to give the plan context and depth, the script chewed up the entire allocated time, which I try to keep to around 6-ish minutes so that I can put out one these episodes each month (each takes about 60 hours or so). So I understand if some were hoping to leap right into the action this episode. So was I, originally! But with this episode done, I can now focus on JUST the invasion the next couple of episodes. Thanks.

SPOILERS The first half, describing those innocent sacrificed civilians, was agonizing. Isn't attacking unarmed civilians considered a war crime? The second part described the tense environment before the massive counter-attack. Congratulations for rendering it clear and captivating. Vilnius, though.. While I also long for more episodes, I understand that making them is time-consuming. Take your time to make them.

@justinmc9287 6 месяцев назад

It's only a war crime if 1) you lose and 2) enough time goes by that your own soft civilians removed enough from real war and hardship can then blame their grandfathers for the freedom they now enjoy. People do not understand that all freedoms throughout history have come at a cost and sometimes that cost is ugly. But enjoy your iPhones and Starbucks while sitting next to a warm fire!

Really? Any adversary in any war calculation knows an attack is only sucessful with a two to threefold superiority over its adversary, otherwise an attack is folly. The actual relation of heavy armoured weaponry in europa NATO to Russia ist to to one, in military air craft its NTO to Russia four to one (cf. Military Balance, IISS, London). WHY SHOULD RUSSIA ATTACK? Its so dumb, this scaremongering, so dumb.

You notice it takes about two or three weeks to do one episode & each episode is only a few minutes long. That's why they aren't longer. Two weeks just for a few minutes.

Hahahaha as a fellow Canadian I love the enthusiasm for our military mention. However, I must also remind you that our military in today's world couldn't handle a schoolyard fight much less a full scale frontal war. We have less than 50 flyable fighter planes and even less combat experienced pilots for them. Still aged CF18s and leftover F18s from Auz.

The thing about this being "the next World warr" is that the last two were waged by huge global coalitions on each side. There is no huge coalition on the Russian side. Iran, North Korra and Russia are not a global superpower and China would almost certainly use an opportunity like this to gain back a big part of Eurasia that was occupied by the Russians in the 1800s.The ''awesome" military power that Russia supposedly has is being squandered right now and the so called 'World war" is really an assymetirc fight between sophisticated industrial powers and a one product resource extractor.

I love these video's and it cause me to start thinking about the current situation on the ground in Ukraine. If NATO would move a big armor force right on the border between Estonia and Russia and Lativa and Russia backed up with US Airforce planes that would tie up most of the rest of Russian army units to protect its northers borders. Then......if Poland launched an attack only going in one mile into Belarus and then withdrawal quickly saying it decided it would NOT invade Belarus again unless it got involved by the Belarus military attacking Poland. That would give Russia the threat of a two-front war in Ukraine (so far one front active) and the Baltics vs Russia or Poland vs Belarus. I assume Belarus is under the control now or very soon of Russia so that would be the second front. Tell me what you feel about my idea. Would Putin press the nuclear option? What would President Biden do after waking up from his nap in the Whitehouse and deciding to do what He could to get rid of Putin???

Okay, WAIT... why from Italy and Copenhagen? No, I'm sorry, but this is just... you need to settle on an idea and run with it. Why is NATO mobilizing forces from friggin ITALY when *Poland* is already, according to this episode, chomping at the bid in order to mobilize???? Within 48 hours we've had Russia literally bomb a civilian evacuation route with civilians on it! Why aren't aircraft going in from Poland? If the fear is Russian retaliation into Poland via missile strikes (I am ASSUMING you forgot Poland has purchased a bit of everything in NATO's inventory including AEGIS Ashore), then surely NATO would have mobilized air defense systems like Patriot into the region *before* Russia got uppity given Poland's vital role in combating against Russia. Like... why are we even holding them back from AIR OPERATIONS, my guy????? Why are Poland, Finland, Norway, not engaging Russian aircraft? They are literally right over the border! Even the "trying not to escalate' line fails here if NATO is planning on some Desert Storm equivalent. And the Korean War Parallel REALLY doesn't work here when Poland, is, again, RIGHT NEXT DOOR!!!!
