American press: USA may sacrifice the Baltic countries for the sake of an agreement with Russia

The United States could make a deal with Russia and exclude several countries from NATO for the sake of an agreement with Moscow. We are talking about the Baltic republics, writes American analyst David Pine in an article for The National Interest.

According to the expert, Washington can sacrifice the Baltic states for the sake of concluding an agreement with Moscow. According to Pine, the option with the exclusion of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia from NATO has the right to life, such a scenario is not ruled out. According to him, Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded the withdrawal of the alliance's troops from the territory of Eastern Europe and guarantees that NATO would not expand to the east. The option with the Baltic countries just suits Putin's requirements, especially since the United States does not have vital interests in the Baltic countries. In addition, militarily, the republics are rather weak and can only act as a springboard for military operations.

The United States has no vital interests in the Baltic republics. The recent war games have shown that the United States will lose to Russia if a struggle unfolds there (in the Baltics)

- said the analyst.

On the other hand, the author writes, the United States may not make concessions to Russia and everything will remain in place. So far, Washington is calling the Russian demands unacceptable, but everything will be clear at the talks, which are to take place in the near future.

Let us recall that at the end of December last year, Russia put forward demands on the United States and NATO to guarantee the non-expansion of the North Atlantic bloc further to the east and the withdrawal of NATO troops from the Russian borders. After that, Putin had a telephone conversation with Baden, the parties discussed the upcoming Russian-American talks, which are planned to be held on January 10, 2022.

Russia does not demand any "sacrifices", but offers EQUAL security for both sides.

The USA and Europe will not concede to Russia. What next, I ask you? (With)
And nothing.

I see one recipe for accommodating the United States and its satellites.
This is the return of the country to socialism and the complete destruction of the "fifth" column.

Ilya. I support. The article is stupid. From the series it may be zugzwangonal, but it may not be. I quote "President Vladimir Putin demanded the withdrawal of alliance troops from the territory of Eastern Europe and guarantees that NATO will not expand to the east." This is from the series "our business is to offer - your business to refuse." Even the eternally neutral Finland has already stated, like, but we will join now, and what will you do to us?

American press: USA may sacrifice the Baltic countries for the sake of an agreement with Russia

The USA can really donate the Baltic countries.
However, at the same time, it looks very strange that right now, in fact, Finland clearly wants to take the functions of the Baltic states in geopolitics, which is also informally, in fact, already a member of NATO and supports the Kiev regime of Zelensky in Ukraine.

[Shurik70]

The United States will donate someone only in one case - if it is beneficial.
In this case, anyone will donate.
Losing NATO members is not profitable for them in the long term, since they are really preparing for a war with Russia. They will not lose such a convenient foothold

That's right, only now the stakes are too high for Russia and the United States, as never before. Namely.

Or the United States with the hands of NATO and Ukraine from the military bridgehead of Ukraine, etc. attack Russia - they critically weaken it, or Russia from the very first minutes of the armed conflict immediately hits the territory of the United States! And then China is the geopolitical leader on the planet, not the United States.

What is more important for the United States? Destruction of US territory by Russian forces with the loss of world hegemonism, or should the Americans cede Ukraine to Russia? Probably cede Ukraine to Russia.
Is this how Russia is now posing this question to the United States in its meaning?

[Vladimir Mashkov]

The surrender of the United States / the West of the Baltic States and even Ukraine is a possible option, but most likely unlikely. I suppose they will try, as always, to tighten, chat and whirl. We'll probably have to win back. And it will start from Ukraine.

[nnm]

Colleague, in my opinion, everything is not so simple:
1. Since negotiations on the requirements have been scheduled, the United States and the West are already ready to discuss them, not reject them. Yes, and our requirements are - "ask for the impossible, you will get the maximum."
2. I would like to clarify: who will determine who belongs to which column, according to what principles, and what, in your opinion, should be done with these people?

[sustav75]

Yes, the Americans sneezed at Putin's conditions! What they want, they will do.

[mikh-korsakov]

nnm. Please accept my congratulations on the past holiday, and if suddenly it is unpleasant for you, then do not accept it. According to claim 1. In the words of Woland, "you think, a binomial of Newton," in the place of the West, anyone would agree to enter into long negotiations on the topic "let's do this, we will not deploy missiles in Ukraine, and in return you will withdraw them from the Kaliningrad region ...". Well, as it were, everything is in business, everything is for detente, and in the meantime, airfields in Ukraine are being rebuilt to meet NATO standards, and warehouses are being built. We see this and sharply criticize, and they give us, and you first, bring it out, well, bring it out. Well, something like this. Of course, everything happens according to all the rules of diplomatic art. And such rubbish ... By the way, our Foreign Ministry has already spoken out that we will not allow the negotiations to get bogged down, but then gave the back, saying that we are not setting a time frame, because some people want everything to be neat. And if so, then we will get bogged down.
2. About the columns, and what to do with them. What can you do with them? Stop supplying Finland with round timber. So they already agree on their technologies to process our round timber into semi-finished products, it is cheaper to transport. Even though they are in NATO, even though not in NATO, the efficiency of the economy has not been canceled. That is, they want to - they will enter. Also, I see no leverage that could prevent Ukraine from joining NATO. If the management sees them, they know better, then they are the bosses. Personally, I only want Ukraine not to join NATO. But the fact that someone thinks that the presence of zircons, poseidons, etc. in our country can influence the decision of the West. - this is an obvious lie, because even if Ukraine is admitted to NATO, we will not use any of the above, it is even beneficial for the West that this wonderful weapon would become a burden on our economy. ... As well as the West will not be the first to attack Russia from Ukraine. It is only important for them to finally fix the geopolitical collapse of the Russian Federation in Ukraine in 2014.

[maksbazhin]

This is not a play - this is politics. They didn’t send it right away, so we have something to discuss. We have something to offer, we have something to sacrifice (Syria, Donbass, hypersound, INF, Poseidons) and yes, we have something to threaten (up to a military alliance with China).

If they want war, they will never give it up, just like Ukraine.
If they are really tired and need a respite and ordering of the world, they may well give it back. The costs of both NATO and the EU for the maintenance of these limitrophes are considerable.
Until 14.01.2022/XNUMX/XNUMX, they must finally decide and give an answer.
Since January 15.01.2022, XNUMX, the hands of the Russian Federation have been untied.

Why not? To replace three poor Baltic beggars with one relatively stable and economically secure Finnish "partner" with a fairly good military potential is quite in the interests of Washington and NATO. It was not for nothing that yesterday the Finns voiced what they also wanted to join NATO. Here, it seems, began to increase rates in the upcoming trading. Russia will not agree, and therefore they will have a reason to say - "Well, we offered to demilitarize the Baltic states, but you yourself refused," while Finland may remain in the same conditionally neutral position and will not lose anything, or it may not remain ... Stir up mattresses before bidding. Then Ze was allowed to the phone so that he and Bidon would talk, exactly a week before the start of negotiations. What controllers did they get him there? Maybe again there will be a provocation in the Donbass with an attempt to drag Russia into the conflict in order to give the mattresses a reason to disrupt the negotiations altogether, accusing Russia of aggression and preserving the existing status quo.

In essence, this sentence (if any) would mean a dummy. Bluff. Such an exchange for mattresses is absolutely not critical, and for Russia it is a priori unacceptable, i.e. in fact will be rejected.
Finland is formally a neutral country and de facto it is already in NATO, which suits the United States quite well. If Russia agrees, then the Finns' membership in NATO will only have to be formalized legally, and the Baltic states will still remain in the NATO sphere, only without a foreign military contingent and without expanding NATO's infrastructure, but it will still be quite useful for the transfer of troops.

To land a million and a half or two million (less is simply pointless) infantry? So this technically impossible..
To place something there? It is so obvious - due to the small size of the territory, it will be destroyed or captured by us instantly at the slightest nix.

These territories cannot be a springboard for an attack: it is impossible to accumulate secretly significant forces. The only role that has been prepared for them since '96 is that they have become such attack warning structure - if the Russian Federation is the first to move to the west, which I myself do not believe in, then the stopwatches will be turned on in the control centers of Europe: the countdown will start. In addition, the provision of this infrastructure was done at the expense of the aborigines: the staff got off with "cookies" and earned.
They have successfully become a springboard for an inadequate policy - you can't argue with that: they cheat and try to shit

1. Introduce the exclusion procedure into the charter.
2. To exclude.

Recently, the former NATO Secretary General proposed to include Ukraine and Georgia in NATO, and to circumvent the territorial integrity (Crimea, Abkhazia, Ossetia, LDNR) in the following way, to give security guarantees from NATO with the exception of these territories.

Enlargement of NATO is highly creative and flexible.

From the Baltics, and can also theoretically be creative, there would be a desire. It is quite possible that they entered with violations) Therefore, they can not be ruled out, but cancel the entry as carried out with serious violations. The border is not completely demarcated by the republics, the ratification has not been carried out.
Some Baltic states put forward territorial claims in relation to Russia.

The question is rather a political one: NATO will not want to get rid of the Baltic states.

Problems in production chains and global price increases have made it difficult to supply orders for the Estonian Defense Forces, according to ERR.

As the newspaper writes, Estonia has made large investments in the military sector. In particular, it purchased self-propelled howitzers from South Korea, and also entered into an agreement for the supply of anti-ship missiles and small arms.

However, arms purchases are now growing all over the world, so there is a queue even for such simple components as gunpowder.

"In the case of the timing of deliveries of large-caliber ammunition, we used to talk about 12, maybe 18 months, and now they are close to two years," said Director of the Center for Defense Investments Magnus-Valdemar Saar.

[Wedmak]

And how will NATO allies feel in this case?

The sheriff doesn't care about the throwing of the Indians. The United States easily merged Afghanistan, so merging the Balts is not a question at all. Nothing personal, so to speak.
Another question is, will the United States accept many of our demands? Indeed, in fact, the Russian Federation kicked the hegemon in the soft spot and, taking it by the tie, demanded guarantees for itself. For the Anglo-Saxons, insolence is unheard of. (Which is confirmed by the articles of their media) I don’t remember the same behavior from other countries, except the USSR. China sent Americans there a couple of times, the North Koreans ignored it, but that's all ...

[korabelnikoffevgeny]

*** USA easily merged Afghanistan ***
What makes you think that the United States has leaked something in Afghanistan?
Now the Taliban will climb into the former republics of the USSR and from there to us ... So Russia will not have time for the Baltics at all

[Wedmak]

What makes you think that the United States has leaked something in Afghanistan?

Since the Taliban was not defeated, terrorism was not defeated there, but by throwing billions of dollars there they did not achieve anything. And the haste of withdrawal of the warriors also damaged their reputation quite well.

Now the Taliban will climb into the former republics of the USSR and from there to us.

Why would it suddenly? They declared about the struggle for their country against the invasion and they won their war. There was no talk of a world caliphate there. It is highly doubtful that they will even climb into neighboring countries. To fight on your own territory is one thing, to fight on someone else's is quite another.
And one more thing: they talk to the Russian Federation through diplomatic channels, our diplomatic corps is there, the Taliban leadership has clear positions not to touch the Russians. So while no one is climbing anywhere.

So Russia will have no time for the Baltics at all

But some of the Baltic states are striving to snatch it in the tail for their statements and actions. So there is still the question of who will unleash the conflict faster.

The same goes for Poland and Hungary and Slovakia and Romania to the heap. Global war with NATO is a global war, universal. We will honestly leave as many troops in the West (or even less, taking into account Belarus) as these countries will deploy. And everyone will be contented and happy.

Most likely, the United States will not leave the Baltic states. Perhaps they will promise not to go into Central Asia and the Caucasus. Even if they sign pieces of paper, they will be just pieces of paper. In Ukraine, everything is complicated, there you need to fight off everything invested. So it is not excluded "the last and decisive" in the end. It is possible that this will be followed by a section of the country.

Russia is returning and this is not a coincidence. God announces: “At the appointed time [the king of the north] will return back.” - Daniel 11: 29a. What does this mean in this context? In short, it means the end of the unipolar world. Russia will regain the influence it lost after the collapse of the USSR. It also means a significant weakening of the US. Not only the eurozone will collapse, but also the EU and NATO. Many countries of the former Warsaw Pact will return to an alliance with Russia. The previous prediction that some time after the triumphant end of World War II, servicemen from Soviet military bases would return to their land was fulfilled in the same spectacular manner (Daniel 11: 28b). It is no accident that the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact collapsed, and these servicemen left Europe in 1991-1993. The ground for the realization of this prediction was prepared in advance. Currently, Heaven is preparing the ground for the fulfillment of the next prophecy, which will be fulfilled at the time appointed by God. And He watches over it (Jeremiah 1:12; see also Isaiah 14:27).

And the NATO Charter provides for the exclusion of countries from

I think the interests of the staff do not provide for the exclusion of any territories ... consent they do not ask anyone about their actions, what I hope will change

[Ulysses]

According to the expert, Washington can sacrifice the Baltic states for the sake of concluding an agreement with Moscow. According to Pine, the option with the exclusion of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia from NATO has the right to life, such a scenario is not ruled out.

The Anglo-Saxons, in exchange for this worthless husk, will demand a break in relations with China.

The National Interest

... When I saw the headline, I immediately thought "Oh, well, probably NOR writes" and was not mistaken) Most of this blizzard that excites Russian minds comes from NI, because the staff of this publication is more than full of our former compatriots. It is impossible to seriously consider the prospect of excluding the Baltic states from NATO, any speculation about it is pure hype. The United States can withdraw some kind of contingents from their territory, but this is the maximum. You have to understand that Europe is not Afghanistan forgotten by God. In Europe, the Americans have excellent and well-oiled supplies, in Europe their warriors do not die on mines and the local European population is culturally consonant with the Americans - why should they leave these territories? Because we like that?) Maybe Uncle Sam spends a lot on the Baltics? Or maybe we are building bases in Venezuela right now? When, in general, do you remember America's such "attraction of unprecedented generosity" in foreign policy? I personally don’t remember. And to hope that this will suddenly happen is naive.

I don’t understand that we will soon have a Baltic military district?

It was NOT figs to get in there. Then no sacrifices are needed.

[Incvizitor]

I doubt that these are not completely needed at all, someone needs them, even if the FSA refuses them, I see no reason to free them.

Quote: Mountain Shooter

Realized that in the event of a mess the Baltic States could not be kept, and decided to immediately disown it? And how will NATO allies feel in this case? Any Montenegro and Romania? Also not too powerful militarily. Dump them like ballast?

What for? Let them eat meat. Cannon. Do not send your own people under the bullets.

God! Why do we need these "Baltic States" ?! Way to live as they want! If only there were no NATO strike forces ...

Again NI and an expert from there. That Sokhu, that NI sources couldn't be more muddy. how much gossip can be exaggerated one another funnier.

According to the title, I was not mistaken with the edition, and which edition is the same analytics ... I do not see any arguments (except for propaganda, as can be seen from some comments) in favor of a very stupid version of the author, as if:

the option with the exclusion of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia from NATO has the right to life, such a scenario is not excluded.

[Alex 34091]

When negotiations are held, the states will refuse our ultimatum to roll back NATO from Eastern Europe. What prevents us from putting pressure on Ukraine? Return {in fairness} the territory of interest. Strengthen positions in Transnistria and remove Ukraine from at least part of the water area. Start full blown b. etc., in my personal opinion the West will not dare. Sanctions? Whether there are many of them left, and how they will affect the country is an open question for me.

The funny thing is that small grass will have either by right of the strongest, or by agreement and in two trunks.
