The Baltic States cannot rely on Germany any longer : Comments

By Adomas Abromaitis, published 4/4/2019

The Baltic States have been members of NATO for fifteen years, but NATO may not offer them as much security as they assume it does.

"After fifteen years of NATO membership the Baltic States are still militarily vulnerable, because NATO is not all it is assumed to be. At the least, it is clear the Baltic States cannot rely on Germany any longer."

The Baltic states are under NATO's nuclear umbrella.

Moscow isn't going to risk an all out nuclear confrontation with NATO over the Baltic states.

Perhaps the Baltic states should be looking to Poland rather than Germany in terms of greater military cooperation. Warsaw appears more concerned with keeping Russian influence at bay than Berlin does (not that I necessarily agree with the premise that big bad Russia is out to recapture the old eastern bloc).

Bozec,

Of course it is. All of the Baltic states, and then Finland too. Maybe then Poland. Imperialists never sleep.

You know that something is wrong with your armed forces when a Greens Party member expresses concern about your militaries readiness for action. But as ttbn so correctly pointed out, the deutchies have more to fear from Islamic takeover through immigration and birth rate differentials, than worrying about Russia, which militarily is only a shadow of the old USSR.

Multiculturalism is a great way to start a war. In WW2, the Germans knew that Eastern Europe and even Russia contained large numbers of ethnic Germans, and they knew that they could rely upon these ethnic Germans to welcome a German invasion of their countries. Hitler used the false excuse of Poland oppressing ethnic Germans to invade Poland. Ethnic Germans from East European countries became the rulers of occupied Eastern Europe and provided the soldiers for the "action group" extermination squads. After WW2 ended, all East European countries engaged in ethnically cleansing the German minorities from their countries, as they rightly viewed them as an unacceptable internal threat. Peace through ethnic cleansing.

The USSR knew that the best way to keep the Ukraine, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia "Russian" was to import millions of ethnic Russians into those occupied countries who could be relied upon be loyal to Russia. It worked quite well in the Ukraine. Now the Baltic states are wondering if Russia will do a Ukraine on them, using their very significant Russian minorities in those countries as both an excuse for invasion and to use the minorities as rulers after occupation.

So too, Japan's intention of invading Hawaii was because it knew that almost half of Hawaii's population was Japanese in 1930, and they too believed that they would welcome a Japanese invasion. They were probably right, which was why the US interned most ethnic Japanese during WW2.

Multiculturalism destabilizes entire countries and nobody can really tell if a certain minority within any will have sympathies with the enemy in times of war. As for Germany, the only thing that will save it now from becoming part of the caliphate will be another Adolph Hitler.

Thanks again, lefties.
