​Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday that NATO is considering permanently deploying troops in the Baltic states after Lithuania’s president raised fears that Russian leader Vladimir Putin ​will march his army into other European countries if he is not stopped in Ukraine.

“We’re continuously reviewing within NATO our defense posture, including looking at questions of extending the deployment of forces, looking at questions of more permanent deployments. All of that is under regular review, and we’re engaged with NATO allies in doing just that,” Blinken said during a joint news conference with Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis in Vilnius

This is a Real-Life Game of RISK.

They will tie down a bunch of troops in the Baltic countries while Putin attacks countries to the South..............

These Pro Putin Brigades are a nutty illogical lot.

Of course the US and NATO will power up the countries closest to Russia.

It’s all on Putin and he is getting what he claimed he didn’t want...troops on the border.

It’s a great move and they need to be aromored or mechanized Brigade Combat Teams.

Yep, and with a car service and bodygaurds rising oils prices are of no concern.

It seems Putin might have single-handedly saved a dying NATO. Now they seem to be following the checklist that Trump gave them. Maybe rumors of his illness are true, and he didn't have time to wait it out.

Trump spoke with the PM of Poland and the Polish leader said we will pay for any permanent folks in our nation from the USA. So what I say is this start with the 48th Tac Fighter Wing at RAF Station Lakenheath UK send the entire wing permanently to Poland. They have been furnishing wings to many areas syria,bombed Libya etc they have F15D,E and a few F35s....

The US must rescind the NATO treaty asap.

It’s a parasite sucking the life blood of the American people.

Blinken is totally inconsequential as a SoS. A mere cypher trying to be a real diplomat. He should be making coffee for Mike Pompeo.
