Default Suwałki Pass hot spot in case of WWIII

In Poland press we have now discussion about Suwałki Pass. Modern version of Polish corridor which was casus belli of WWII or Fulda Gap during Cold War. NATO general Ben Hodges mentioned this spot as most hot places in modern NATO-Russia relations after Donbas and Syria. This place is ideal for cut off Baltic states from any help in case of Russian invasion. Secondary can connect Kaliningrad with Bealorusia. As was mentioned such scenario was in use during last Russian-Bealoursian exercises. Even NATO rapid response units need two weeks for move from Germany to Baltic states and may face there then enemy units.
