AbstractLifeboat Foundation reacts to NATO And Russian Conflict
Story
February 26, 2022 — The Lifeboat Foundation has raised our GETAS alert level from Guarded to Elevated.
Reason: “NATO members Turkey and Estonia are said to be blocking Russian military movements due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This could lead to conflict between NATO and Russia, leading to billions of deaths in a World War.”
The next escalation in this conflict could be either: 1) more NATO members block Russian troop movements or 2) NATO countries send either volunteers or actual troops into Ukraine to defend against the invasion. (It would be surprising if no NATO member has sent special forces into Ukraine.)
The Lifeboat Foundation hopes this conflict doesn’t end in a nuclear World War.
The last change in GETAS level before today was January 19, 2015 — over 7 years ago.
February 27, 2022 update: NATO members Belgium, Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, and the United Kingdom are now also blocking Russian troops.
