Prepare for Putin pivot to invade us, say Baltic states
The Telegraph ^ | March 30, 2024 | Will Hazell

Posted on 03/30/2024 11:30:59 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Nato must be ready for Russia launching an “existential” war against the Baltic states “masked by a blizzard of disinformation”, ambassadors from the three countries have warned.

Writing exclusively for The Sunday Telegraph, the top diplomats to the UK from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania said that Russia could “pivot quickly” from Ukraine to invade the Baltic.

And they said that Vladimir Putin’s brutalisation of Ukraine is evoking the three countries’ “darkest memories” of occupation under Stalin.

The Estonian ambassador Viljar Lubi, the Latvian ambassador Ivita Burmistre, and Lithuania’s charge d’affaire Lina Zigmantaite, wrote the joint article to mark Friday’s 20 year anniversary of their countries acceding to Nato.

The ambassadors said that joining the alliance meant that their nations had never enjoyed “stronger collective security” than today, but “nor have we faced a more daunting threat”.

In a swipe at other European countries who had played down the risk of Russia, they said: “Our warnings about the latent and growing threat from the East were too easily dismissed in some allied capitals.

“We knew then just as we know today that only a collective defence can guarantee security in Europe. We lacked this in the 1930s and paid a heavy price; one that Ukrainians are paying now.”

Is “blizzard of disinformation” the new euphemism for “Gulf of Tonkin”. ?

More hype trying to stampede NATO into a hair trigger for war with Russia.

Anyone who thinks the Russian military is capable of opening a second front are delusional. And anyone telling you they can is a lying shill for the MIC.

Putin can’t handle what’s on his plate now. So he’s going to make things worse by invading more countries?

Not buying it.

Russia is currently invading Ukraine. NATO is currently invading no one. Russia threatens to nuke Europe and the USA on a weekly basis. NATO threatens to nuke no one. Nations join NATO voluntarily. Nations join Russia at gun point.

Russian state television threatens France and Germany. They discuss which European city should be attacked with missiles and destroyed. Named Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Hamburg, Munich.

Who do you think will end up capturing London? Islam or India?

The Russians are sadists. It amazes me that we have people on this forum justifying Putin’s actions against Ukraine.

That we have "influencers" posting a constant stream of Ruzxian propaganda should be no surprise. This is a clearly stated tactic of theirs. Their posts are so formulaic as to make we wonder if they're just bots. That we have putative Americans sh[]tposting along with them is disappointing, but there is always that small segment, three sigma out on the left-hand end of the curve, who do that stuff no matter where they are. It used to be that they just wrote dirty words in the mens-room stalls, but now they have the Internet.

Yes.

For the delusional on here that imagine “America is not an Empire”, Latvia, Estonia and especially Lithuania are the USA’s most obedient Colonial outposts in Europe.

And they do whatever they are told.

NATO is ramping up while Joe Biden fiddles Rome into its funeral pyre?

We need Trump badly.
