The US Department of Defense official disappointed US senators with the words that the Baltic States could not stand up to “Russian aggression” for 3 days

The Deputy Assistant to the Head of the Pentagon, Michael Carpenter, spoke during the regular hearings in the US Senate. Speaking to the senators from the committee on international affairs, the official of the US Department of Defense answered questions about the state of affairs in those US allies in respect of which "the threat emanates." In particular, the speech of Carpenter touched upon the state of security of the Baltic states. This is reported by the portal. www.weeklystandard.com.

The senators asked Carpenter that in terms of security, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have changed since February of this year, when the center of analysis and geopolitical research RAND presented a report that Russia is able to occupy the Baltic countries in approximately 2-3 days. Apparently, the senators expected Carpenter to declare a significant increase in the “security level” in the Baltic States due to the American contingent arriving there, but the deputy assistant secretary of the defense secretary clearly upset the senators with his reply.

According to Michael Carpenter, since February, “nothing has changed in the defense system of the Baltic countries”, making it clear that against the “Russian aggression”, without thinking of which, neither the US nor the Baltic can live a day, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia 2-3 days mentioned earlier do not survive.

Recall that the authorities of the Baltic republics almost constantly say that NATO, and specifically the United States, must increase its military and military presence in the Baltic States.

Against this background, NATO exercises in the Baltic States are already becoming permanent, flowing from one type to another.

A bit too much.

[cniza]

They overestimate themselves, only why Russia needs it, but NATO generals will master the increased budget.

[Wedmak]

And where is the hurry? Considering that "non-citizens" will also rise there, and a bunch of Russian-speaking people ... it will be possible, having gouged the advanced detachment of especially stubborn ones, continue to go on calmly. Collecting mushrooms and berries along the way.

[CORNET]

that the Baltics will not stand against "Russian aggression" even for 3 days

Or maybe the United States ... Still! Offend gentlemen ...
This building is, EVERYTHING! (Almost)

It looks like a nut, but in Russia, for this nut, there are CALIBRATED "bolts", such as "Poplar", "Yars", and so on ...

[Hellraiser]

The power of NATO to protect its member countries! AH-HA-HA !!!! RZHUNEMAGU !!!!

[d1m1drol]

Well, why too much. In a couple of days we will occupy the territory of the Baltic states, and for three days this fact will reach the governments of that same Baltic.

[kodxnumx]

The man simply told the truth, but in the USA the truth is simply not needed, they need PR that their army and NATO are all the stronger thanks to the USA, of course! if NATO begins, and then specifically the USA will seize to the fullest, it will not even be Syria, it will be a real war as soon as the Russians can fight, the EU is not ready for such a war, the United States is simply not yet aware that it is also not ready!

So the territory is not small ...

[NDR-791]

The dialogue is typical for "two or three" days.
- "Yaaa ... Lauskas Brazekulas, naaa ... born at this manor."
- What kind of a collective farmer are you when you take a negro in green?
That’s what we’ll do for three days. In general, our border will delay for 30 seconds, while they laugh. But we have nowhere to go - after all, a pan-European road. The whiskers of their mustache proudly went from there, and then, who survived, the bistro-bistro went there, yeah ...

[Reserve buildbat]

Previously, they shouted about 3 days, now "4-5" ... But the meaning remained the same: Give money and provide transport for a constant rotation of troops on another continent. Ohameli mattresses ...

[NEXUS]

Our military talks about 24 hours, or even less.

[Kent0001]

And they are right. We just don’t need this.

[Ros 56]

And what the American senators wanted, they forgot that Russia is not Iraq, and, on occasion, will erase America to dust, which of course would not be desirable. Ordinary people feel sorry for them, they have nothing to do with it.

With the rapid response units of the airborne forces, navy, caliber caliber, electronic warfare systems, etc., all this will take no more than a day, or maybe even less.

[Russian German]

But what about the defenders writing in the flower beds?

[3 Gorynych]

then there will be pooping Yankees in the streets ...

[Red_Hamer]

But what about the defenders writing in the flower beds?

Here, in the hope of these "Rambo", and threw a couple of days and 16 hours. In total, it turned out 3 days.

[Starik72]

Russian German: But what about the defenders pissing in the flower beds? Yes, THEY "defenders" will stop writing in flower beds, but will write and poop in their pants.

[Prisoner]

Should we be happy? For three days again to put on their own neck ungrateful Estonians is not a reason for the holiday. Do we need it?

[Coconut]

Dumbly all this ... I feel something is outlined (pah so as not to jinx it)

[RUSOIVAN]

If you do not stop in the flower beds to write, then faster!

[AdekvatNICK]

what 5 days? if it were 1812 years in the yard and the army was with guns and powder guns then it can take 5 days.

[kursk87]

In order to knock out additional financial resources, it is necessary to assure the Senate that NATO is not coping with the Russian threat. NATO needs an external enemy, otherwise the bloc cannot survive.

[Knizhnik]

Arguing about how many days it actually takes, one can easily forget about the pod that is contained in Carpenter's statement: it turns out that the fact that "the Russian Federation is occupying the Baltic states" is, as it were, a settled issue, and now we only need to talk "in how many days".

[ALEA IACTA EST]

Will our soldiers celebrate the victory of 71 hours?

[cap]

"According to Michael Carpenter, since February," nothing has changed in the defense system of the Baltic states, "making it clear that Lithuania, Latvia and the United States cannot live a day without the thought of which neither the United States nor the Baltic states Estonia will not stand up to the two or three days mentioned earlier. "

The cleverest man, Michael, gave the truth to the senators.

[Humpty]

Strange dreams about the future. Or NATO is preparing a sacred sacrifice. Worse, the list of "future victims of Russian aggression" always features Rzhach post-poll.

[Alexander Romanov]

Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia will not survive the previously mentioned 2-3 days.
Do not believe him gentlemen senators, this is Putin's troll

[soroKING]

what are 2-3 days? ours have long been there ... there is simply no order to appear

[Strezhevchanin]

Depressing another. How many years will the Baltic states need to understand that they are bred just out of the blue?
And by the way, where is the entire mobilization reserve of the Baltic states? In EUROPE on earnings, and the Russian-speaking are all in place, and who will fight .....

[Taygerus]

in omega opened that only for 2-3 days they flattered tribaltam

[96423 lom]

The thing is that in the Baltic, there are still so many flower beds of American soldiers deprived of attention.

[Not served]

I understand that the Russian threat to them is already an obvious thing. Now think about why and for what he said this. The answer is obvious, so that the Senate gives the green light to send a full-fledged strike force there supposedly to repel Russian aggression.

[Siberian]

They have completely leaked roof. It seems that they are not just dreaming, but already sleeping and seeing how Russia is attacking the unfortunate Balts. In general, it has already been said above that they want to get some money from the budget.

[3 Gorynych]

RAND presented a report that Russia is able to occupy the Baltic countries in about 2-3 days. Apparently, the senators were expecting

What the senators expected — that the Baltic countries would be able to postpone the blow to the true enemy, do not even hope! We won’t even look at the Baltic states — we’ll crash at once on the spiritual leader!

[Londa]

Everything is done in order to knock out money for an increased build-up of NATO forces in that area.

[VNP1958PVN]

Russia is able to occupy the Baltic countries in about 2-3 days.

Yes, before!

[ENG-MAN]

Okayna, right now I'll launch Victory Day 4 and check.

[Oskar1965]

Ours just need to shout out loudly in their language of each Baltic country: "The Russians are coming!" And .. then we will collect them in order to return them to our homes. And if you shout the same thing in the center of Washington! Then the consequences for the United States can be simply disastrous :)

[Veltmaster]

Ahaha! Karoch, half the battle has already been done. It remains only to persuade Russia to attack!

[Starik72]

I think that after some time, which I don’t presume to judge, the Baltic states themselves will be asked to be part of Russia. And I think that not as states, but on the rights of the regions. So there’s no point in Russia occupying, seizing and attacking Russia. This is my opinion, so do not judge strictly. Respectfully.

[Samoyed]

It is interesting that none of these generals deciphers, and what does "occupy" mean? Soldiers post, banks, railway. stations? How was it in the last century? According to Lavrov: db!

..that he flatters them .. the tank army and the airborne division after the bombardment with artillery rockets and aviation for a day I will mix with dirt and foul "defenders" diapers more territory than the limitrophes have .. damn forgot about the "Iskander" and the Baltic marines ..something like this ... and then this can happen only when Russia is really brought to a white heat and leaves no choice ..

[Konstantin Yu]

Capturing the Baltic states - a shooter for gamers is another horror story of the type: oh how bad everything is, the Baltic states save! Pentagon - give me more money !. There we are on pumping out the budget. Dance with war tambourines. Bravado is not necessary, but cynically take a closer look at this shabbos, than breathe ... maybe we can notice useful things ...

[pts-m]

Pendosovsky official racket and only. High pay for the maintenance of mattresses.

The statement has only one goal - to increase the NATO contingent in the Baltic states

Yes, not to increase, but to get more money. Well, the Baltic states are even stronger tied to themselves so that even the desire to twitch does not arise. But for Russia, there will be more or fewer NATO members - it does not play a special role. And so, and so - suicide bombers.

[Ruswolf]

Weird people?
Why should the Baltic states stand ?!
What’s your base there?
Here you are, dear Americans .... and wake up or lie down .... Or with .... at the Russian bear!
We assume that this statement about the 3 days indicates that the Baltic states have disengaged from mobilization for a war with Russia. Dear USA - fight yourself! And we to the women on the stove!

[dchegrinec]

And senators like cheburashki hung their ears and listen to what they will be told. That will upset, then will please! Themselves like loshariki.

Everything goes to the point that all Baltic and other puppets, together with the United States, will have to throw a white flag.
