In the United States proposed to strengthen the military potential of the Baltic republics

The United States needs to strengthen the military capabilities of the Baltic republics in order to prevent "Russian aggression." With a proposal to the American parliament, researchers from the US Congress addressed the research service, writes RT.

The United States needs to strengthen the potential of the armed forces of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, as the Baltic republics continue to see the United States as a leader in foreign policy and security. In addition, these countries will help the United States counter the “Russian threat” in Eastern Europe.



Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are reliable and valuable allies contributing to the maintenance of security and stability in Europe; ties with Washington are for these states a guarantee of protection against the "Russian threat and pressure"

- the report says.

Analysts are proposing to increase sales of US weapons to the Baltic republics and provide other assistance in the field of "national security."

At the same time, in the Baltic States themselves they also advocate the expansion of military cooperation with the United States. All three republics are in favor of the long-term deployment of the US military in their territories.

We are steadily and patiently striving to expand the long-term US military presence in Lithuania and the entire region ... The presence of the US military is a major deterrent and will contribute to NATO's efforts in the Baltic region

- said the Minister of Defense of Lithuania Raimundas Karoblis.

In turn, military experts say that under the US desire to "provide" military assistance to the Baltic states, it hides the desire to make more money on sales of new military equipment. The republics, hiding behind the mythical "Russian threat", intend to get as much funding from the USA as possible.

After the collapse of the USSR, these three republics remained on the periphery, and now their only economic dividends are handouts from the West for anti-Russian rhetoric. The Baltic states are trying to do business, make money, and the Americans support them in this matter

- said an expert at the Center for Security Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences Konstantin Blokhin, adding that in reality the United States will never enter into a military conflict with Russia over the Baltic states, for fear of a nuclear attack.

      I’m wondering when the subsidies to the Baltic states from the EU end there?
      Then on the bare bottom, even if they strengthen the "security".
      Under Russophobian lamentations for the sake of approving the overseas host, they profooed sooo much.

        Sponsorship from the EU ends from the beginning of next year, our local Latvian Aryans have spent all their money, the country is sinking deeper and deeper into the ass. The state does not know how to earn money; every year they increase all taxes. Soon, the citizens will all perish, some into Gemania, some England, and we Russians will NOT REMEMBER and again raise the Russian flag, because the Yankees will not be able to explain to me how terrible the Russian threat is for me. Such a plan !!! Bye Yankees go nome !!!

      Sooner or later, the Americans will leave the Baltic states and then these three republics themselves will crawl to us.

        why do we need them? Let them live on their own. When the Americans leave, these republics will quarrel among themselves. And Poland has long dreamed of tidying their territories

      The Baltic states should understand that it can become one of the first major victims in the contradictions in relations between the US and Russia, if it comes to hot relations. hi

        But no one will fight for them. In general, the Russian Federation is easier to strictly ignore these territories and strangle them economically: gas, transit, electricity, trade ... all to zero or at an exorbitant price and they will have a reason to find out who they are 'ally'. And the stripes will feed them fables no worse than Krylov, but they really will not do anything.

      these countries will help the United States counter the "Russian threat" in Eastern Europe.
      These "help", who if not the Balts, since the Americans probably no longer count on other "allies"? But whether the Americans will help the Balts is a big question?

        A rhetorical question. Just look at Georgia. 2008 year. Minus South Ossetia and Abkhazia. I'm talking about "help" ...

      Damn, do the tribals really do not understand that in the case of a large heap on their entire territory, it will be possible to extract minerals in an open way. By the way, the Poles have already begun to realize this and the arrogance has diminished. Tribalts are in a hurry to go into historical non-existence.

        They are by and large already halfway through, and yapping on command is the only way to remind yourself. And admit to ourselves that they were made warning system and an 'green forehead anointed' oh how it doesn’t

      Expected. Striped vultures reared completely. In general, they don’t want to think about the consequences.

      They will give the Tribalts decommissioned military equipment at the cost of a collider, and then take the land for debts. Here’s another place for their bases ... Well, there’s enough for the servants there to serve their soldiers

      ties with Washington are for these states the guarantor of protection against "Russian threat and pressure"

      These are 100% protected, since no one is going to attack them. This is like the elusive Joe, who is therefore elusive because no one catches him.

      The persistent Balts are numb to die for the interests of the West. Why don't you live calmly and peacefully, neighbors? After all, no one needs you in Russia, not even Putin.

      Tired of this circus. Puppet crooks in the form of the government of the Baltic countries, together with the amerikosy, "saw" the money allocated by the European Union as subsidies to the Baltic countries. And everyone is shouting about protection from the aggressor, although everyone understands that Russia does not need them for nothing. In general, the screams will stop as the subsidies stop. The Americans, of course, will milk the Balts to the end, stay a little after the end of subsidies, and then "set on fire" the region when they leave, to destabilize Europe. Fortunately, the "dried up economy" of the Baltic countries, after such cooperation with the United States, will be good firewood. And then Poland's turn will come, under the smokescreen of the Baltic Maidans, she will probably try to squeeze out everything that is bad. And she will consider that she ended up in "kings", because she is under American protection with American bases on her territory, but the Americans will milk Poland too, then push her to leave the European Union, humming in her ears that the Poles are great and powerful, just like their elders brothers, and then they will set them on fire, and in the end they will try to spread all this flame to Russia through Ukraine and Belarus. And while there is free money, everyone is "sawing" it together under the banner of freedom and democracy.

      In my opinion, the "strengthening of military aid" will not help the Baltics and other farmers. First, the population is slowly but surely flowing out to the West. Secondly, the limit of their dreams is a decommissioned T-54 tank, a decommissioned Swedish coast guard boat and decommissioned MAN military trucks they have for a long time, Puma armored personnel carriers and rifles of the J-36 Hoeckler und Koch type and the M-14 type they also have. Larger equipment - tanks, aircraft and large-caliber artillery requires a well-developed technical infrastructure and maintenance, and they have a lot of money and people, too, from the word at all. In general, they will bring in blacks, sorry, an armored cavalry division from the United States, if they are going to strengthen something there.
