Lithuania asked NATO for additional protection against Russian attack

55
Lithuania requested NATO additional forces and means of defense against the "Moscow attack". Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda made a corresponding request to the Secretary General of the Alliance Jens Stoltenberg. It is reported by the Lithuanian edition Delphi.

Lithuania asked NATO for additional protection against Russian attack




Speaking at a joint briefing after a meeting with NATO Secretary General, the Lithuanian president said that the international allied battalion stationed in 2017 in Lithuania was a reliable means of deterring Russia, but its forces were clearly not enough to protect the republic from Russian attacks.

We have achieved a high level of deterrence, but much more needs to be done in the defense sector. We are very pleased to host the NATO forward-based battalion in Lithuania, but this is not enough

- stressed Nauseda.

According to him, at present, a real threat to Lithuania’s national security is the Russian military group concentrated in the Kaliningrad region. Given the large concentration of Russian forces in this region, the Baltic countries intend to receive guarantees that in the event of a conflict, NATO fighters on the territory of the republics also carried out defense tasks, and the alliance more often sent air defense units to their territory to conduct exercises.

As previously reported, the Baltic countries are trying to get from NATO to strengthen the existing international battalions on their territory with air defense and naval defense. In addition, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia require guarantees that in the event of an armed conflict with Russia, when they are "cut off" from the rest of Europe after the capture of the Suvalki corridor, NATO did not abandon them.

    I can imagine what a "break in the template" between the British and the Americans. Those. how is it "not to quit"? And even the requirements ... Sprats are crazy.
    The history of WWII suggests that it is precisely these two who are betraying the allies. And the rest of NATO, well, like Germany and France - in spite of the "shouts" - if cho, they won't climb ...

      Do you seriously think that this is a pure Lithuanian initiative? I'm afraid the cat cried out there for statehood. As for me, this requirement was put forward by the excluded in order to break a little in response, purely for the sake of appearance, and agree. You can kill several birds with one stone. The troops are fed, shod, and are fully supported in the operational space of the "union" state. In close proximity to the borders of the "aggressor" country. They can perform concurrently the functions of "intimidation", "horror", "bringing to submission" and all at someone else's expense. Something will also go to the treasury!

        The only sign of the real sovereignty of a state is exclusively its own armed forces.
        I wanted to shine))), but actually expressed the thoughts of Alexander III:
        Throughout the world, we have only two faithful allies - our army and navy.
        and Lenin:
        Every revolution is only worth something if it can defend itself.
        Without a strong army ("On earth, in heaven and at sea ..."), any "state" is just a runner for a real sovereign.)

      I remembered a joke ...
      America gave the Lithuanian army 40 thousand decommissioned M-14 rifles. In Lithuania, they thought for a long time how to divide all rifles into 16 thousand army. As a result, a truly brilliant decision was made. Each soldier was given THREE rifles. One to shoot. The second, to shoot if the first jammed, and the third was given in the teeth to shoot from it, if all the previous ones suddenly refused. "
      Armed to the teeth, Lithuanians are a terrible thing! laughing

    A patient with delusions of persecution, even in a dull bunker behind meter-high walls, will not be calmer. In addition, such patients most often pose a threat to others because of their aggressive and inappropriate behavior. To give weapons to such sick people - go from ism and provocation of pure water. But the United States is doing just that - they first cultivate a schizo and then arm it.

    additional forces and means to protect against the "attack of Moscow"
    If you constantly shout in vain: "Wolves, wolves!", Then when real "wolves" appear, no one will react to the cry. The Balts have already worn out the trend of a Russian attack on the Baltics to such an extent that even the Americans tolerate it just because there is a reason to increase NATO troops in the region.

    Bugaga three times.
    Not only that, in the existing realities, ALL NATO forces hanging around the borders of Russia are, in fact, wordless meat that does not last even a week in the event of a globally naughty, but these limitrophes demand something there. And the fifth (if I'm not mistaken) article in the NATO charter is not going to be observed by the alliance forces. They are not interested in signing to die for the Balts because of the word "AT ALL".

    To deter the Russian army in Lithuania, NATO troops are enough. But for the assault on the Kaliningrad UR it is still necessary. So Brussels is venturing through its puppet Nauseda about the need to deploy additional forces of the first wave.
    The Russian Federation has a purely defensive strategy against NATO. Therefore, the activity of the bloc in our western direction should be seen not how Western politicians present it /// protection from Russian aggression ///, but how it happened before the summer of 41 in the same places. Then the truth, the Wehrmacht stated that the troops arrive to rest before throwing across the English Channel, the tank divisions in Prussia were concentrated under the guise of working battalions, etc. All this somewhat put the layman to sleep. Now they put them to sleep in the same way. These "workers' battalions" received tanks and rifles and advanced in the first wave. And the infantry divisions of the second stage were still on the march, being transferred along the railway from Germany. The German General Staff very meticulously calculated everything and each division had its own schedule for entering the battle. They were not crowded around the border at 4 am. Picture 1 in 1 from the current one. Therefore, it is shallow to discuss only the initiative of the Lithuanians.

      Motorized units near the border also did not stand in a crowd. A few hours before the war, they were tens of kilometers from the border. They crossed the border almost immediately after a five-minute art. training. Now the mobility of troops has grown even stronger.

    What other guarantees do they want? 5th article is not enough for them?

    And I’ll tell you what guarantees they need. Although they are turned all over, they understand one thing well - that no one will fight for them. The only thing that can guarantee that the Russian Federation will not send troops to them during the threatened period, and NATO will really defend this land area, is the deployment of nuclear weapons on their territory.
    But they will never wait for this.

    This is not Lithuania, but the Americans are demanding the deployment of additional forces in Lithuania. But Americans cannot admit this to the whole world. Because the Americans will look like aggressors and warmongers. Therefore, everything is so politically twisted that it is like Lithuania wants to deploy the armed forces of other states on its territory. They say that the Lithuanians have all this in mind. Who are the Americans deploying their troops against? Everyone knows and understands. Therefore, Lithuania demands from the Americans that when the Americans run back, they will not abandon it to their own devices ... Whatever happens: “for their own political purposes they have been ditched and abandoned”.
