US Secretary of State: The accession of the Baltic republics to the USSR was "violent annexation"

US Secretary of State John Kerry said during a speech on the occasion of the 75 anniversary of the so-called Welles Declaration that the accession of the Baltic republics to the USSR in 1940 was “violent annexation”.

In particular, he noted that this declaration "condemned the violent annexation of the courageous peoples of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia."

“We remember this declaration issued by 23 on July 1940 of the Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles as evidence of our shared (with these countries) unshakable commitment to freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity,” said Kerry RIA "News".

The US Secretary of State emphasized that "this document means more than a temporary symbolic gesture."

“From 1940 until the full restoration of the independence of the Baltic states, half a century later, the flags of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania fluttered in Washington,” he added.

Kerry also noted that the United States and the Baltic states "share a commitment to democratic values ​​and border security." According to him, "the territorial integrity of sovereign states is unshakable."

“The American people welcome our Baltic friends as NATO allies, EU members and partners committed to a common view of a peaceful, united and free Europe,” Kerry concluded.

"... the courageous peoples of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia."
What peoples? He himself understood what he said ?!

[Grandfather bear]

Does it know its history?
They seized the land from the British kingdom.
Captured the land of Native Americans.
Took Texas and California.
And where did he fight?
Lavrov! Well, where are you?!!

In 1845, the United States of America annexed the Republic of Texas and recognized Texas as the 28th state of the united state. Thus, the United States inherited the territorial dispute between Texas and Mexico, which quickly led to the Mexican-American war, as a result of which the United States seized additional territories that expanded the country's borders up to the Pacific Ocean.

And when the Americans of Texas overpowered Mexico, it was called democratic accession ... Of course, what kind of aggression

[WKS]

The "oneself" argument is a weak argument. The USSR did not anxify the Baltic states. The Baltic republics voluntarily and legally became part of the USSR, which is proved by the fact of their voluntary withdrawal from it. The annexed territories do not have this opportunity. And from the fact that Kerry and his predecessors made some statements on this matter, the facts cannot be canceled. There are always supporters and opponents of any political processes. At the time of the entry of the Balts into the USSR, there were much more supporters of this than opponents, just as during the exit of these republics from the USSR. Nobody forcibly held them. The republics had their own parliaments, governments, self-government bodies, and the national culture and language developed.

US Secretary of State: The accession of the Baltic republics to the USSR was "violent annexation"
Brrr, stand "Dawn"! And the accession of the "Baltic republics" to the EU and their entry into the NATO bloc is then what? ..

P.S. You see Johnny very tight on the brain, it was not enough for you that you and Tefft were pushed in the face in the city ... in Sochi:
- making Putin wait
- x ... b to the "Eternal Flame" on foot uphill under the scorching sun
- meet Lavrov in a Pobeda car
- cute smile in response to the presented basket of tomatoes and cucumbers ...

Next time, the conditions of the "Admission" will be even tougher, the Russians know a lot about this, I think I already managed to make sure ...

And this, without any "Shapkozakidatstva" only facts.

[ROD VDVshny]

This formation, called the United States, is essentially gangster and criminal, from the beginning of its "formation" to the present day.
The genocide of the local population and the use of weapons of mass destruction (smallpox) against Aborigines, mass deception and land seizure - that’s their story.
No less indicative is a more modern history, it is enough to count the unleashed wars, the use of nuclear weapons (again WMD!), The invasion of Vietnam, etc. etc.
And nothing about the "shit-democratization" of the whole world and a long, anxious nose around the world - I am silent

[roadsmell]

John forgot to set as an example the legitimacy of the use of indigenous lands and the actions of the US school to respect indigenous human rights

Enough for Lavrov to respond to the demagogic attacks of inadequate villains.
The outgoing administration is not responsible for anything.
Even for your words.

Took Texas and California.

Texas is generally a song. There are parallels with Novorossia - almost 1 in 1. Dissatisfaction with the new constitution, accusations of separatism, militia, collection of money, weapons and volunteers in the United States, the "north wind", etc.

Before poking a nose into this story, this stuffed animal should remember how the USA was created. The United States stands on the blood of Indian tribes, blacks and Chinese. So whose cow would moo.

He somehow lost sight of both Tehran-43 and Yalta-44, when the American authorities did not have anything against the Soviet Baltic states and agreed to the presence of these republics in the Union. Yes, and Helsinki-75 did not talk about any aggression

[Varyag_1973]

For Decathlon. Why should the talking head understand something? He probably doesn’t even really know where "courageous peoples of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia"what is and where it is in general!

And if we talk about annexation, then it was necessary to remember the Russian Empire, and not the annexation in 1940! They were then joined by all and sundry, and either bought for half, or won at cards! Same to me "great" peoples! All their greatness lay in the fact that the second wife of Peter the Great was from there, and either she was a cook or a scrubber!

[Juborg]

The formation of the USA itself is a violent annexation with the manifestation of an extreme genocide to the original population. As they say, who would mumble, but be silent.

Quote: Decathlon

"... the courageous peoples of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia."

No, well, we all saw how these peoples showed courage: in the SS, and Salaspils.
Although ... there were Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian divisions in the Red Army, there was even such a thing as a division of Latvian (or Lithuanian) Jews (unofficially of course, but really more than 50% are staffed by people of these nationalities) in the Red Army.
In addition, everyone who served the SA noted that the same Lithuanians were drop dead soldiers

[rotmistr60]

the annexation of the Baltic republics to the USSR in the 1940 year was a “violent annexation

It would be time for American politicians who do not know what history is and what is more, with a low educational level, to stop making statements that once again emphasize their ignorance. Which country, such and politicians.

[Dixismr]

It is you who have addressed to the wrong address. The same booby Kerry in Germany said that in American society, one of the essential elements of freedom is the ability to be an idiot. And this is the virtue for which they are fighting.

[rotmistr60]

What can you do. If they consider themselves "exceptional" (probably idiots) so be it. Therefore, we have the right to consider this an integral part of freedom.

[Ribald]

For the annexation of the Republic of Texas, did this lizard snout not mention anything? Well, at least in passing.

“From 1940 until the restoration of the independence of the Baltic states half a century later, the flags of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania developed in Washington,” he added. ©

But now, at the Proyebaltov "independence" parades, the US flags are flying.

[Per se.]

Quote: Ribald

For the annexation of the Republic of Texas, this lizard didn’t mention anything

The Yankees not only annexed Texas, moreover, the declaration of independence from the power of the British King George III, in the legal field was nothing more than separatism. The country that sets itself up as the "standard" of justice, freedom and democracy began with the genocide of the local Indian population, the slave trade and the use of blacks as slaves. Racism was openly manifested even after the victory of the northerners over the southern states, practically until the end of the 50s of the twentieth century. On the conscience of the Yankees are two nuclear bombings of Japanese cities that were not military targets, many troubles and bloodshed in the world up to the present time. Indeed, whoever would read morality to us here, as well as to the whole world ...

[Ribald]

I agree with you completely, I’ll add from myself: They used not only Negroes, but also the Irish, whom England traded in almost more than blacks.

[Altona]

And the fact that Alaska was annexed fraudulently, how is it? The money was not paid, allegedly disappeared, and they were drawn on the check, and not in physical gold ... And what kind of "statehood" do the limitrophes have? They have always been farmsteads, everything was built for them by German barons and Russian industrialists ...

[Mareman Vasilich]

Yes, they have such a job now, more barking.

[ia-ai00]

Well, yes, during the "violent annexation", the Balts were destroyed in the same way as bandits from Europe, the Indians were destroyed ...
These "exceptional" do not seem to know their own history. Probably "Amnesia" for the entire State Department ...

[svb1261]

Kerry, teach a better story ... something has spaces in it ... and also the Secretary of State of the superpower is supposedly ...

They Obama was born in the annexed by the States of Hawaii ... Whose cow would moo ...

Firstly, they didn’t occupy it, but were returned to the Russian Empire, and secondly, he went to the ass freak

[Igor39]

such violence ...

[Tektor]

The art of politics is to keep silent about what is not profitable to talk about. Well, let's say it was not voluntary entry, but annexation. And what was the alternative? Now it is clear that - depopulation and extinction. Well, which is better: proudly die out or to ingloriously survive?

[Andrea]

our unshakable commitment to freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity, ”quoted RIA Novosti as saying.

Nothing to bother ... say it to the Serbs, Syrians, Libyans, Iraqis, as well as Vietnamese, Koreans, Cubans, etc.

[Gor-1974]

In general, according to Wikipedia, the term annexation means: Annexia (lat. Annexio, from lat. Annexus - affiliated) - unilateral unanimous forcible joining by the state of all or part of the territory of another state. Therefore, saying Violent Annexation is the same as saying oil-butter, or as there used to be a movie with the same name, a ninja killer, something like that.

[Watchdog]

Violent annexation is to take their lands from the Indian tribes of North America and drive them into the reservation. This is annexation. And the entry of these buttons into the USSR is the restoration of the status quo of the Russian Empire.

[sgr291158]

This Kirya, where did he get the idea that Russia is going to join the Baltic states. Or he’s on principle just to blurt out.

[Severomor]

"..... Sprats just panicked: on the one hand, they were the majority in the river, on the other hand, the river separated two forests, and in which case all the movement went over their heads, regardless of their desire.
Moreover, even the most insane sprats understood that for any coastal resident they are just a light snack, and who will listen to the opinion of the snack ... "(c)

[splinter666]

Perhaps Kerry's logic is this:
Well, it was necessary to rape 14 countries in one day so that they would join and not complain to anyone ...

[Name]

With the Crimea did not ride, now the Baltic states ... then they will demand the return of the Kuril Islands.

[Flinky]

And this got drunk. Apparently, with Waltzman sat at the same table.

[Prisoner]

After all, they are broadcasting all this nonsense in all seriousness. And this is not in their mouth a blatant lie in the name of the policy of their native terrarium, it is their primeval ignorance. The underdogs rule the crap.

[ArhipenkoAndrey]

And the territories of the Indians, too, joyfully poured into democracy? The Secretary of State would be better off silently, he would have gone for smart and competent, although I seem to have gotten excited with a competent one.

[1536]

Let our Foreign Ministry send copies of archival documents from 1940 of the year to this hange (if not all of them have been burned by the graduates of Afanasyev’s nest), in which these Baltic states themselves are imposed on us in the state. Waiting for them, how come. If it were not for the bridgehead for the attack on Russia, which they, by the will of fate, have been holding and are now holding with the help of the Americans, nobody needed these abandoned lands.

[U-47]

It seems to me that a dwarf state that does not have any resource, scientific and technical, military, personnel or investment potential in the concepts of "independence" and "freedom" puts a slightly different meaning, very different from ours, Russian.

[saniajan]

Then, in general, the creation of the United States occurred as a result of the forcible annexation of foreign territories with the genocide of the local population !!!

Well then, Psashki’s pregnancy is a successful operation of the special services of the Russian Federation in a hybrid war.

[Victor-M]

The USA bought Alaska and California from Russia, are the inhabitants of these states entitled to demand independence and disconnection from the USA? Peter 1 bought the Baltic lands from the Swedes; is it legal to disconnect the Baltic states from Russia? It seems that the transactions are identical, but how much different approach to them.

[monolith 36]

“We remember this declaration, issued on July 23, 1940 by Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles, as evidence of our shared (with these countries) unshakable commitment to freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity,” Kerry told RIA Novosti. There was no project in the project to remember!

[Nyrobsky]

In fact, before making such statements, Kerry would not be out of place to make an excursion into the history of the Russian state.
"" "In 1721, the Swedes signed a peace treaty with Peter-1 in Nishtadt (Finland), according to which Russia, having paid a monetary compensation of 2 million efimks (thalers), acquired the entire Baltic region, part of Karelia with Vyborg and the islands of the Gulf of Finland and Riga, with all living on them and all movable and non-movable property "" "" "
Sometimes the Balts were allowed to remain independent, which invariably led to a logical result - a complete decline, after which Russia was again picking up those lascivious.
So that the Americans have no reason to raise the issue of the annexation of the Baltic states (money paid) - Lavrov in Alaska can make an equivalent statement (money paid). The situation is mirror - money = goods.

[olimpiada15]

"The United States and the Baltic States share a commitment to democratic values ​​and border security" ...
Everything is said for fools.
As for security: setting up military bases far from its borders, the United States cares exclusively about the security of its territory, because in the event of a military conflict, a retaliatory strike will fall on those territories where their bases are located and the states that deployed them on their territory will suffer.
The deployment of military bases and missile defense systems in different countries around the world increases US security while untying their hands for any interference in the internal affairs of sovereign countries, but at the same time exposing these countries to retaliation for US actions.
Since when is sexual promiscuity, diligently cultivated all over the world, a democratic value? Generally speaking, democracy is understood as the ability of the country's people to live and develop in accordance with the moral ideas about the world inherent in certain peoples, and not the imposition of alien ideas. Democracy is a concept for an individual, and not for individual organs of a human organism. It is not for nothing that there are sayings such as "gray hair in the head, devil in the rib", etc., and sayings are popular wisdom.
In general, as always, palming a cow’s cake, the United States calls it a delicious gingerbread.
And interestingly, they are believed, not wanting to face reality.

[Retvizan 8]

Then let him add that those rulers of the United States who at one time recognized the Union and its territories were "Brainless Devils", and only he and Sarai, oh, pardon Barak, are so white, fluffy, versed in history and international law!
In general, with their "policy of double standards" have already got it!

[akudr48]

Violent annexation is a new word in Russian.

Something similar to the extraordinary expressions of the democratic present:

Friendly bombardment (hit your own, so that others are afraid)

No-fly zone (to bomb more conveniently)

Popular privatization (grab as much as you can)

Equality of all before the law (law that draws)

Elective vote (vote, do not vote, you will get anyway ...)

Honest media (who pays the most, that and the pan)

the annexation of the Baltic republics to the USSR in the 1940 year was a “violent annexation

What is your evidence? (C)
Refute.

75 years ago, on 21 on July 1940, Soviet power was restored in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia and the creation of the Lithuanian SSR, the Latvian SSR and the Estonian SSR was proclaimed. 3 — 6 on August 1940, in accordance with the decisions of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, these republics were accepted into the Soviet Union.
Judging by the photographs, the Baltic states were annexed by force, harshly and with mass executions. With the armies of the "captured" countries, the Soviet "invaders" acted in a demonstratively cruel and inhuman manner. The "occupiers" included them in the Red Army, retaining their ranks and personnel. By the way, in this way, a soldier of the Estonian army, Arnold Meri, became a soldier of the Red Army, namely the 22nd Rifle Corps, into which the Estonian army was transformed.
Lithuania, as the first and terrible humiliation from the "Soviet occupiers", received the city of Vilno (Vilnius) with the adjacent territory, which previously constituted the Vilna district of Poland. What to say? Lithuania inherited the heavy totalitarian legacy of the Molotov-Ribentrop Pact. It should be noted that the Baltic republics, which became a highly developed industrial region under the USSR, were a very economically backward region before the accession. So, in 1940, the level of the economy of the Baltic republics was 25-30% of the economy of the times of the Russian Empire. However, now, at a rapid pace, the Baltics are again turning into the original state, which was before the accession to the Soviet Union. And a small selection of photographs about how the "occupation" of the Baltic republics took place:

Regarding the history of the United States, many here are right, I will not repeat myself. It's just that this country is like a cancerous tumor on the body of a healthy organism. A tumor that infects everything else. What are they doing with such entities? - Cut out.
