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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
