Poll: German citizens did not support the government’s plans to place German soldiers in the Baltic States

Only 9% of German citizens supported the intentions of their government to send Bundeswehr soldiers to Eastern Europe to deter "Russian aggression", reports Look with reference to the results of a survey conducted by the sociological institute YouGov.

A much larger number of Germans (49% of the respondents) believe that Russia can interfere in the internal politics of the Baltic countries just like "as it was two years ago in the Ukrainian Crimea." Considered impossible such a scenario around 30%.

Moreover, more than half of the respondents (64%) supported the head of the German Foreign Ministry, Walter Steinmeier, who condemned the saber weapons by NATO.

“What we shouldn't do now is to exacerbate the situation with loud saber rattling and military shouts. Who thinks symbolic tank parades on the eastern border of the alliance enhance security, he is wrong, ”Steinmeier said in mid-June, for which he was harshly criticized by politicians from the CDU / CSU bloc and a number of NATO partners from Eastern Europe.

The survey was commissioned by the agency dpa, its results were announced 30 June.

But what about the Baltics all rushing about, as with a written bag, what for it is needed? Well, there is nothing attractive.

Poll: German citizens did not support the government’s plans to place German soldiers in the Baltic States

But if Russia were weak, like the Baltic states, then the citizens of Germany with both hands would support the deployment of their soldiers in Russia.

Once the Germans have already tried to "intimidate" Russia. And it's very good that they remember how it ended. The Germans have more common sense than their authorities ... And in other countries it is the same ...

... send the Bundeswehr soldiers to Eastern Europe to deter "Russian aggression",

That is, to send soldiers on an inexpedient mission, to put it mildly. Most Germans understand that there is no Russian aggression, which means that such a "business trip" is not only a thoughtless waste of money, but also the creation of a hotbed of tension. And then, the burghers want to die for the Balts, if the conflict becomes inevitable?

Help for 1940:

On June 3, charge d'affaires of the USSR in Lithuania V. Semenov wrote a review note on the situation in Lithuania, in which the Soviet embassy drew Moscow’s attention to the desire of the Lithuanian government to “surrender to Germany,” and to intensifying the “activities of the German fifth column and arming the members of the shooters' union ", Preparation for mobilization. It speaks of the "genuine intentions of the Lithuanian ruling circles," which, if the conflict is resolved, will only strengthen "their line against the treaty, moving to a" business "conspiracy with Germany, waiting for only a convenient moment for a direct attack on the Soviet garrisons."

On June 4, under the guise of exercises, the troops of the Leningrad, Kalinin and Belorussian Special Military Districts were raised by alarm and began to advance to the borders of the Baltic states.

On June 14, the Soviet government presented an ultimatum to Lithuania, and on June 16 - to Latvia and Estonia. In general terms, the meaning of the ultimatums was the same - the governments of these states were accused of gross violation of the terms of the agreements on mutual assistance previously concluded with the USSR, and there was a demand to form governments capable of ensuring the implementation of these agreements, as well as allowing additional troops to enter the territory of these countries. Terms have been accepted.

On June 15, additional contingents of Soviet troops were introduced to Lithuania, and on June 17 - to Estonia and Latvia.

Lithuanian President A. Smetona insisted on organizing resistance to the Soviet troops, however, having received the refusal of most of the government, he fled to Germany, and his Latvian and Estonian colleagues - K. Ulmanis and K. Päts - went to cooperate with the new government (both were soon repressed) , like the Lithuanian Prime Minister A. Merkis. In all three countries, friendly USSR was formed, but not communist governments, headed, respectively, with J. Paleckis (Lithuania), I. Vares (Estonia) and A. Kirhenstein (Latvia).

The process of Sovietization of the Baltic countries was monitored by the authorized governments of the USSR - Andrei Zhdanov (in Estonia), Andrei Vyshinsky (in Latvia) and Vladimir Dekanozov (in Lithuania).

it’s more likely to occupy a void, because the indigenous population is rapidly scattering to work throughout the geyrop

Of course, during the Second World War, the Courland and Koenigsberg groups could do little to save Reich. Therefore, does it make sense to send your Landsknechts back to these traps?

Well, firstly, who will listen to citizens? Okinawans have been expressing their opinion for how long ...
I think that citizens will remain with their opinions and feelings of deep satisfaction.

This is not because the Russians are aggressive. It seems to me that the Germans consider the Baltic states and other suburbs to be Russian, including the population

-----------------
By the way, Germany itself is actively interfering in the internal politics of the countries of the post-Soviet space, but for some reason no one is talking about this. With the help of Germany, a coup d'etat was organized in Ukraine, in particular. And the fact that Germany holds Greece and Southern Europe in a credit and debt vise is self-evident.

When a woman of retirement age is in power, this is a pipe. And also the woman’s Minister of Defense is a whistle.

[rotmistr60]

only 9% of German citizens supported the intention

These and other figures cited indicate that in Germany people begin to think with their own heads, and not implicitly trust their politicians. But Merkel doesn't give a damn about it. The elderly Frau has shifted from her ambitions to the Fuhrer of Europe and now, like any schizophrenic, she will persistently go towards the achievement of a mythical goal. Only the summons from the Heavenly Chancery can stop her at this stage.

Worn and will be - NATO countries, they do not care that there is nothing attractive there. They need a bridgehead on the border with Russia. But we really do not need what for.

Most still remember the Russians who came to Berlin and do not want a repeat

By the way, the replacement of German soldiers on the "Eastern Front". This is the Minister of Defense of Canada Harjit Singh Sajan.

The German Ministry of Defense, you need to appoint an Islamist, but it’s not convenient as the Germans, in front of the Canadian comrades.

The survey results show that most Germans remember whose flag developed over the defeated Reichstag. The fear that we might, by tradition, not stop at Courland, firmly settled in their subconscious. Yes, we do not need these three hungry women, more fuss than wool.

In vain the Germans restored the Reichstag.
Would read the inscriptions in Russian made in 1945, would look at the building, would be much smarter.
