Tricky comments. Historical military excursion for the Baltic countries in the light of the statements of the British Prime Minister
British Prime Minister Theresa May announced her readiness to protect the Baltic countries in the event of aggression by the Russian Federation.
News This one, widely spread by many media outlets (The Independent and TheUK.one magazine were the primary source) caused a stir in the Baltic countries. There are, in principle, why, especially for those for whom the inevitable Russian aggression and the subsequent occupation is not interpreted as a medical diagnosis, but as the harsh reality of today's day.
Teresa May in her interview stated that Britain is faithful to its obligations under NATO, and in the event of Russian aggression in the Baltic States, British troops will defend Estonia and Lithuania.
The Prime Minister stressed that British troops would take part in military exercises to be held in Estonia. According to Theresa May, "this will emphasize our serious attitude to our obligations."
“The fifth article of the NATO statute states that we support any country against which military force is used. Some people think that America will change its attitude towards NATO [after Donald Trump’s arrival] ... I think America will remain committed to NATO just as we are, ”said Theresa May.
It is worth noting that Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed rather skeptical about American support for NATO and hinted that in the event of Russian aggression in Estonia, the alliance forces will not defend this country.
But I'm not talking about that. I mean that it would not be worthwhile to raise such a joyful cry about the statements of Mrs. May, but it would be better to take up the textbooks stories. Or more serious historical works.
And rightly, there would be much less reason to rejoice.
It is worth remembering, probably, Czechoslovakia. Yes, Britain did not have with the Czechs military agreements and alliances, they were in Czechoslovakia and France. However, it was the premieres of Chamberlain and Daladier who signed the shameful Munich Treaty.
At one in the morning on 30, September, 1938, Mr. Chamberlain, Daladier, Mussolini, and Hitler signed the Munich Agreement. After that, the Czechoslovak delegation was admitted to the hall where this agreement was signed. All the rest is lyrics. Germany divided Czechoslovakia and took for itself the Sudetenland with the help of Great Britain and France.
Go ahead?
25 August 1939, 2 day after the conclusion of the non-aggression treaty between Germany and the Soviet Union, a pact between Poland and the United Kingdom on general protection was signed.
The treaty contained mutual promises in the provision of military assistance in the event that one of the parties was attacked by a third party.
What happened 1 September 1939, probably not worth mentioning. Yes, the 3 of September, the pact-bound France and Great Britain declared a “strange war” on Germany. And they quietly "fought" with the aggressor, while Hitler carried the talentless Rydz-Smigly into the trash.
Year 1940. Soviet-Finnish war. The Finns really counted on the help of the allies, especially since French Prime Minister Daladier announced his readiness to send French soldiers and 50 bombers to Finland for war against the USSR 000 100. The British Government, in the person of Premier Chamberlain, agreed to send British bombers to Finland 50.
In addition to the bombers and artillery, the Finns asked to use the “pressed” Polish fleet, but they did not receive anything. While the Allies conferred, the Finns capitulated.
So, gentlemen of the Balts, you would not be so happy with the furious promises of Mrs. May. For Theresa May in the first place - the Prime Minister of Great Britain. And she will keep her promises. But peculiar. Historically proven.
What Mrs. May thinks about America causes laughter. What America thinks about this, Donald Trump will say. And when he says that, then we will speak substantively.
In the meantime ... in the meantime, I would advise everyone to rejoice at the words of the British premier to delve into history. And I remind you that 2 March 1940, France and Britain promised the golden mountains to the Finns. But the discussions lasted and lasted, and the coordination meeting was to be held on March 12. That is, on the very day when the bloodless Finnish army capitulated.
Punatics, will you last 10 days? Or at least 10 hours? It is doubtful ...
So not worth it. No noise, no joy. Neither wake famously. It is better to think about the fact that Russia will definitely not go to this aggression. Who will give up?
