Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Denmark could face attack if joins NATO shield: Russian ambassador
Nearly a quarter century passed since the end of the Cold War between the East and the West. However, there still seems or increasingly seems to be fierce tension between Russia and NATO, The North Atlantic Treaty Organization. This is a staggering comment made by an ambassador from Russia, which is one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council to a small Baltic country. He says that if Denmark joins the US-led missile defense, Danish warships become targets for Russian nuclear missiles. He uses the conditional type-one, “if Denmark joins ~ Danish warships become …”
Can such a Cold-War style threat be acceptable? What is the intention of such an iron-fisted pubic remark?

Enjoy reading and guessing what kind of game Russia intends to play.
