NATO decided to deploy four battalions in the Baltic region

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the North Atlantic Alliance decided to deploy four battalions in the Baltic States and Poland on a rotational basis. The decision, as reported, was made in the framework of the program "to strengthen the eastern borders of NATO." RIA News gives a fragment of Stoltenberg’s statement:

We decided to strengthen the forward presence. NATO will deploy on a rotational basis four multinational battalions in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. I welcome the commitment of many allies to participate in them.

Earlier, Stoltenberg declared that the basis of the formed battalions would be the military personnel of the “leading NATO states”. It can be assumed that we are talking primarily about the United States, Britain and Germany.

The US military command confirms the information that the US military will enter the "Baltic battalions", and add that each battalion will consist of at least 800 people.

With great enthusiasm, the NATO top officials commented on the decision in the Baltic countries. So, the Minister of Defense of Lithuania Juozas Olekas called this decision “historical».

Olekas:

I am pleased with this historic decision. The units in the battalion format deployed in Lithuania will be ready to respond immediately to external aggression, and will effectively join the defense of our country. We hope that this decision will be confirmed at the summit of the heads of NATO in Warsaw, which we regard as a pass to the greater NATO presence in the Baltic region.

The Russian Foreign Ministry announced that Russia would be forced to take retaliatory measures against the militarization of the North Atlantic Alliance of the Baltic region in connection with security threats against the Russian Federation.

Interfax quotes the head of the department of pan-European cooperation of the Russian Foreign Ministry Andrei Kelin:

This (the actions of the military bloc) goes against the spirit and the letter of the fundamental act of the Russian Federation-NATO

"We've decided to place a forward presence ..." Forward of whom? Iran or North Korea? And after that NATO claims that it is not deploying against Russia.

And after that, NATO claims that it is not turning against Russia.

This rhetoric is no longer used. NATO clearly states that these battalions are placed precisely against possible Russian aggression. True, I have always believed that this is not a defensive measure, but an offensive one. You can add here some kind of NATO international brigade, which will be located in Romania .
P.S. That’s where to carry out large-scale maneuvers --- in Belarus and Kaliningrad, but this year there will be a big Caucasus2016, also an important direction.

If, in fact, to understand, then RUSSIA almost any direction (North, West, South, East) is important! Wherever you look, there are people who want to profit from our RUSSIA by anything! To snatch a piece, like a pack of hungry wolves! And we are the citizens of RUSSIA and our president VLADIMIR VLADIMIROVICH does not want to give our RUSSIA to anyone else! They (NATO and others) apparently decide the question of the power capture of RUSSIA ?! We have how and how to respond to such attacks of squashes and other rubbish.

... yeah ... in the Kaliningrad region, 800 thousand inhabitants ... we have no place to evacuate our families and retreat too ... 150 thousand men at least stand under arms ... so what's with the 4 NATO battalions? ...

[Mikado]

If 150 men stand under a gun, it is possible, defending themselves, to accidentally capture Poland. Although what the hell do we need these gardeners with unhealthy ambition?
The main thing is to distribute the guns on time, and not on the last night.

[Kos_kalinki9]

"We decided to place a forward presence ..."

What time! So, besides the advanced one, is there also an offensive presence? Interesting, interesting.
Although ......, given their tolerance

June 22 soon. Laurels of the Third Reich keep them awake.

[Wedmak]

By the way, about the 22 of July.
On June 22 in 04.00 Moscow time, on the Day of Remembrance and Sorrow, the voice of Yuri Levitan will announce the beginning of the war as part of the “Memory Watch” campaign in the Alexander Garden. Then 3 thousand participants march from Bolotnaya Square to the Kremlin, lay flowers at the Eternal Flame and honor the memory of those killed in World War II with a moment of silence.

Threat. My opinion: in 4 in the morning it is not necessary to announce the beginning of the war in a voice. Procession, flowers, reverence - yes, but not an announcement. The date is gloomy, many may not understand.
They would not have attacked anything, and so the situation is not so hot.

absolutely agree with you

The best recommendations for future "conquerors" were given by Bismarck, not literally, roughly: Never fight with Russia. It is like a carpet - it will roll up to the Urals. But when it unfolds, it will overwhelm ALL of Europe.
That's because they’ve been trying for a tooth for 1000 years - NOT EDITABLE !!!!! But, all the same, the creatures climb!

[Good_Taxist]

It's just that these "striped guys" decided to make the Baltics a ZONE OF COMBAT ACTION, and certainly not Karey and Iran ...

[Vadim237]

The population there is small, so they are driving their war machine there - they are thinking of doing small losses among the population.

[Bobxnumx]

It can be assumed that in the event of hostilities, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia will be a field of hostilities, which will lead to the devastation of these territories and the destruction of everything and everything.

[oblako]

In response to the deployment of NATO battalions in the Baltic states, it is necessary to place a club of fans of FC CSKA in Kaliningrad.

[rpuropuu]

Against aggressive and non-professional actions of fighting bears !!! Why ... Scared 3000 brave soldiers

[zloybond]

found something to procrastinate. Silently put in response to the screen. Published on the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation that the whole of the Baltic states is under nuclear sight. let c-rush and r-rut in a dream ... why all the comments?

[Dmitry Potapov]

That's right, one transvestite battalion, one purely gay, one lesbian, and one elite bestiality. Pedophilia in reserve.

[SAM 5]

We decided to strengthen our advanced presence. NATO will deploy four multinational battalions on a rotational basis in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland

We decided to expand and deepen the future Baltic funnel.

[avvg]

The Baltic republics can no longer be envied. Constant news reports from these republics will be drunk NATO members on the Baltic streets.

[ovod84]

And what’s not worth a defensive rampart, or a European rampart or a wall with ditches, an invitation ukrov will cost you inexpensively, if you are so afraid for the Baltic

[Nikolay82]

everything is already involved. They started building a wall on the border, treating ukrovoyak at our expense, for canceling visas for Ukrainians with two legs. The Javans bought a landfill 2 km from the Russian border. American tanks regularly approach Narova.
The truth is now given to almost all disabled people to go out to work or die of hunger. Any number of NATO troops, at the expense of the host country.

[Wedmak]

The truth is now given to almost all disabled people to go out to work or die of hunger.

You want to say that in addition to everything else, the benefits are canceled / cut?

[Nikolay82]

yes, now people with disabilities, if not 100% incapacity for work, must look for a job. In case of refusal to seek a job or not wanting to cooperate with the unemployment fund, a disabled person may be deregistered. Automatically, a person loses his pension and health insurance. At the same time, pensions and working conditions in the Chukhon region are an order of magnitude worse than in old Europe. Unemployment in the Northeast, the Russian region of Estonia, 14% official, about 30% real.

[Wedmak]

invitation ukrov will cost inexpensively, if you are so afraid for the Baltic

They are afraid that the Ukrainians, carried away, will dig the sea at this place.

[electrooleg]

What a brave Let them think in advance of an emergency evacuation plan in conditions of electronic suppression

[Dave36]

The most interesting thing, everyone knows that Russia will never be the first to attack !! Mild acupuncture in action

[bocsman]

In Riga, Latvia, criminal proceedings have been instituted against two British soldiers who danced on the roof of a taxi. These are half-humans "resting" during the exercises. And what will happen if they are here on a permanent basis ?!
It is clear that the deployment of 800 tons of carcasses will not play a big role in protecting these outskirts of the capitalist paradise (which is not paradise at all). And most likely not for that they are introduced. After all, biomass thought that the happiness of well-being would come from the moment of entry into the EU. But no, the last is taken! So they deploy a contingent ready to pacify the dissatisfied. In my opinion, the Russian threat was also invented because of the impoverishment of the population and the growing discontent and disappointment of the natives.

[rotmistr60]

I am pleased with this historic decision ...

And how we are "happy" for the Lithuanians. You can't describe it with words - they'll be banned. For them, this is a truly "historical" event because they signed their own verdict in case of even a local conflict. To be honest, I am already sick of the statements of the Baltic political scum.

NATO runs into trouble. The West goes on the offensive on Russia.

I wonder which ones? I think that no! Of those that can prevent the Americans from deploying NATO military infrastructure and battalions on the borders with Russia.

[Wedmak]

I wonder which ones? I think that no!

You think badly. Just add 4 coordinates to warhead missiles. And a couple of battalions will still be created in the western direction.

However, this is not a symmetrical answer. These are not measures to:

Quote: Stas157

prevent the Americans from deploying NATO military infrastructure and battalions on the borders with Russia.

The significant difference is that they create problems for us at our borders, and we are trying to find the answer only on our territory! I think a similar arrangement suits the Americans.

[Wedmak]

I think a similar arrangement suits the Americans.

Who would argue. But what do you offer? Set up a Russian base in Cuba? Pull heavy equipment to the border and ceremoniously build it with guns to the west?
Ours are not fools, they are doing the right thing, building up defense weapons. Moreover, in their territory. The Western media can scream about Russian aggression as much as they like, but as long as our troops on our territory and strategic weapons are aimed at potential enemies, we can be relatively calm.
Now it is not 1941, and she can see a special rallying in the ranks of NATO. The US itself will not climb, but will incite Poland and the Balts. And then the entire EU, such as stand up for the poor offended, who survived the "occupation" of the USSR. Only now, without the United States, all these warriors will take the first number pretty quickly. Judging by the statements of our General Staff, NATO is sitting in their livers and will not stand on ceremony.

[Stas157]

Who would argue. But what do you offer?

I do not propose anything, I just outlined the problem. And the answer must be sought in the problem itself:

Quote: Stas157

Americans need to create problems not only in their own territory! We need to look for their weak points and put pressure on them. You need to act more actively, and not always be in the role casualties defending! Otherwise, they will not be left behind.

[Wedmak]

We must act more actively, and not always be in the role of the victim of the defender! Otherwise, they will not be left behind.

Do not fall behind, do not expect. The age-old dream of Britain and their US miscarriages is to destroy Russia. It's simple: they look at our resources with black envy and do not understand why such a territory, with such resources, belongs to one country.
Well, the traditional Scandinavian morality has not gone away - if something is needed - to be taken away. For all centuries of existence, they only invented afternoon tea and the experience of plunder.

Everything is all right, all these allies for Amers are second-rate, service staff, bring it and go .... don’t bother. Was there a practical need to launch calibers from the underwater position in the Mediterranean Sea by ISIS?! Hardly, here is the use of the Tu-160 strategists. ... Therefore, on June 22, no one waits in silence, and decisions and measures are being taken in a planned manner. By the way, a sudden check of the combat readiness of the RF Armed Forces, checking arsenals, deploying parts to the wartime staff at the base, storage of weapons and equipment, with the partial involvement of reservists .It is clear that everything is selective, but still the verification period is up to June 22nd. The military-political leadership of the country has already proved that it is able to make decisions in case of crisis situations.

These military units are actually occupied by your countries, gentlemen, ministers of the Baltic countries, well, plus they will not have a bad time at all in your taverns and with your girls, most often against their will.

- "We decided to place as many as two battalions, there will be no aviation, the pilot is ill"

The decision was reportedly made as part of the program "to strengthen the eastern borders of NATO."

Judging by the rhetoric, NATO fighters will play the role of barrage battalions so that the valiant Baltic warriors do not scatter too fast ....

[evge-malyshev]

We hope that this decision will be confirmed at the summit of the NATO leaders in Warsaw, which we assess as a pass to NATO's greater presence in the Baltic region. Well, the Baltic states do not care ...

[imugn]

It would be necessary to change the rhetoric a bit:

The Russian Foreign Ministry announced that Russia will be forced to retaliate against counteraction to aggression of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and the North Atlantic alliance in the Baltic region.

[atamankko]

NATO proves that someone else needs them,
but in fact it stupidly requires money for its maintenance.

[iouris]

The problem is not in these battalions, but in the fact that the logistics infrastructure for the "blitzkrieg" has been created for a long time and systematically under various pretexts. At the same time, public attention switches to secondary phenomena such as teachings.

[VOEVODA]

Everything is simple as always. The main task of drawing Russia into the arms race at a low oil price is our death (economic). It will happen relatively quickly. Nobody really wants to fight, Europe has too many problems, and they are no allies for the United States.

From the simplest placement of additional RZSO systems in the Pskov and Leningrad regions. Practice defeat targets at long distances. The existing RZSO 90-100 km. it will not be enough. And with an increased range is not yet expected, but it would be very helpful.
