🇬🇧 “Three a.m. Lithuania in Darkness. Russia at the Border” — NATO General Publishes a Future Scenario
27/09/2025
What Happened?
British newspaper Daily Mail has published yet another "forecast" of a future conflict between Russia and NATO.
The author is Sir Richard Shirreff, a retired British Army general and former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe.
According to him, on November 3 at 3:00 a.m. Lithuanian time, Russia will allegedly launch a cyberattack on Lithuania's energy system — causing a blackout in Vilnius and possibly across the entire country.
And, according to the general's scenario, this is only the beginning.
🧩 The "Fantastic Takeover" Scenario by Shirreff
Here's how the general imagines the events unfolding:
🔻 November 3, 3:00 a.m.
Cyberattack on Lithuania's energy infrastructure.
Disconnection from the Russian–Belarusian power grid.
Result — darkness, panic, system collapse.
🔻 November 4 — Unity Day in Russia.
Kaliningrad Region goes on high alert.
Presumably, actions follow targeting NATO's military infrastructure in the Baltics.
🔻 Objective — the Suwałki Corridor.
A narrow strip between Lithuania and Poland linking the Baltics to the rest of Europe.
If Russia blocks it, the Baltics are cut off from NATO and the EU.
🔻 Next step — warning.
Moscow allegedly signals that NATO intervention could lead to serious consequences —
including the possibility of nuclear escalation.
🔻 Finale — "lightning takeover."
Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia supposedly fall under Russian control within a few days.
🎭 Scenario or Novel?
Here's the interesting part:
Richard Shirreff is not only a general but also an author of military thrillers.
This isn't the first time he's drawn up such dramatic scenarios.
The story is cinematic, symbolic, timed to specific dates — but how realistic is it?
🛡️ Reaction from Russia
Russian military analyst Alexey Leonkov reacted calmly:
"Such 'forecasts' appear with enviable regularity — roughly once every four years.
This isn't analysis. It's political propaganda aimed at stirring up anti-Russian sentiment, scaring the public, and securing new budgets under the pretext of an 'Eastern threat.'"
💰 Who Benefits?
Let's zoom out.
Against the backdrop of economic problems in the EU, mass protests, migration crises, and political disillusionment — the public needs something to distract them.
The perfect villain? An external enemy.
The perfect tool? A scary yet "plausible" story told by an "experienced expert."
And if it's a former general — well, that's supposed to make it credible.
And of course, don't forget the multi-billion defense contracts that rely on just one thing — how scared Europe is.
🧠 Conclusion
Every few years, new "precise forecasts" emerge — with dates, maps, and drama.
But beneath them lies the same message:
preparing public opinion for a boost in military spending.
Russia is always "about to act" — but it never goes beyond hypotheticals.
Between the lines, the real message is clear:
The West must stay scared — and keep paying.
❓ What do you think?
Is this really a military forecast — or just a new chapter from General Shirreff's next political thriller?
