Britain creates "European Expeditionary Force" with the involvement of the Armed Forces of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia

65
Estonian Defense Minister Hannes Hansoo expressed strong support for the initiative of NATO colleagues to create the so-called joint expeditionary force of individual countries of the North Atlantic Alliance. This is a joint armed association that will affect the military personnel of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Britain, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands. Reports about it RIA News. The main initiator of the creation of such a structure is Britain.

Britain creates "European Expeditionary Force" with the involvement of the Armed Forces of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia

Estonian Minister of Defense


The Memorandum of Understanding for the creation of an expeditionary corps from among the military personnel of the aforementioned countries was signed the day before in London. During the signing, it was reported that the corps would allow “taking appropriate measures to prevent conflicts and assist in case of crisis situations”. It does not specify who exactly the British-Estonian-Lithuanian-Danish (and so on) expeditionary corps is going to help, and why such a military association of “like-minded people” like NATO is no longer suitable for performing similar tasks.

The press service of the Estonian Ministry of Defense quotes the Minister as follows:
The expeditionary corps will include about 10 ths. Military personnel. For us it is important to continue close military cooperation with the army of Great Britain, with which we have been under fire for eight years in southern Afghanistan. Also, JEF (English abbreviation of the same body) meets today's security challenges, for which we need more rapid reaction forces.


At the same time, Hanso said that the Estonian contribution to the creation of the corps "will be significant."

          It looks stupid, it’s still half the trouble, but what heresy they carry, this is the trouble! The worst thing is that, in Europe, because anyone who is appointed as defense ministers, but not military professionals, the worst can happen, WAR!

    The Balts probably think that these troops are being created to protect themselves from the "imperial ambitions of Russia" they have invented. In fact, the Anglo-Saxons need cannon fodder for operations in the unstable regions of the Middle East and Afghanistan. They themselves do not want to die under the contract.
    I think that the enthusiasm of the Baltic states will drop dramatically when coffins from Afghanistan, Iraq and other hot spots begin to return instead of soldiers.

The Emperor of All Russia took a bronze fork in his hands, wound it around his finger in a ringlet and threw it onto the Austrian's plate.

      They really helped. As punitive squads. However, Latvians are the most punitive punishers. Especially if the expeditions were conducted against the ethnically Russian population. It's in their blood. And the division of V.O. Kappel took them away before the Soviet power during the capture of Kazan in August 1918, where the "Latvian riflemen" guarded the gold reserves of Russia.
