        These visits soothe the Baltics, and what an impression they have from protection and patronage! Even the Georgians did not experience such "ecstasy", but nevertheless they reached dementia, having lost the instinct of self-preservation and the remnants of historical memory along the way.
        In such situations, it will be like in a relationship between people - once a betrayer will betray again. There is nothing to spare them.
        Allies? Too loud for the Balts. For amers and NATO members, this is a irritant to Russia and a moderator for a couple of hours, while the RF Armed Forces will ground them, the opportunity for NATO members to evacuate.

        Where does such a "wild" megalomania come from for a consumable?

        With territorial problems, they are not accepted. No one needs a headache. Yes, and about the Baltic countries in NATO full headquarters, such as Muzhenko, either. This Baltic gut is easily transformed into a strategic boiler by the Baltic Fleet and the Kaliningrad Region.

    Often I see, recently, in foreign photographs (especially Western and NATO) in the media that the style of posing for photos, the Donbass militia is copied.
    However, the image of the Russian Warrior falls into the subcortex for them. Respect means fear!
    A situational example, accompanied by a constant video sequence in the media and the highest ideas of the republics of New Russia, is gradually manifesting in one form or another around the world.

    Reminded an old button accordion ... I’m hurrying to redo it.

    Two American Marines are sitting in a bar. The first asks the second:
    (1) - Well, I went to this Baltic region of theirs.
    (2) - I went.
    (1) - What did they do there?
    (2) - We were tested there for endurance.
    (1) - How is it?
    (2) - Well, roads are in Russia - shit, are you up to date?
    (1) - In the know.
    (2) - Well, they taught us not to be afraid of shit. The Baltic states are the former Russia and the roads there are the same. You won’t believe what we had to go through ...
    (1) - And how? Aren't you scared now?
    (2) - Not afraid. Do you see the spittoon?
    (1) - I see.
    (2) - Well, now I can take a sip from it and it will not make me sick.
    The first marine looks into the spittoon. There are spitting, someone spit and wallow used swab.
    (1) - I bet a hundred tanks that you can’t.
    The second takes a spittoon and takes a sip. The first unfastens a hundred. A toad strangles him.
    (1) - But we argue for a hundred that I can drink a sip from it?
    (2) - We argue.
    The first takes a spittoon and drinks ALL. The second is surprised:
    (2) - You are certainly cool, but why did you drink it all? A sip would have been enough.
    (1) - Yes, you know ... There was such a long snot and it did not snack ...
    A lieutenant approaches them and says:
    (L) - Guys, I heard your argument. Don't you think that you have drunk the entire spittoon for nothing?

I could, of course, to catch the advantages of the URYaklov, blurt out nonsense like "a drunken NATO soldier shot a cat that responded to the Russian nickname ...", "because of the low-flying F-15, cows in Rakvere stopped milking ..." etc. But, unfortunately, there is nothing like that. Nobody flexes with any muscles, the effigies of GDP in the squares do not burn and the asphalt is not grinded with Abrams. Russian speech is still abundant in the streets. Nobody desecrated the "Mermaid" monument. I’m reading the exercises in a stupid delirium and thinking: do some commentators seriously believe in what they write?
