(Reuters) - The United States deployed 150 paratroopers to Lithuania on Saturday, part of efforts by Washington to reassure its eastern European allies, worried by events in Ukraine, that NATO would offer protection if they face Russian aggression.

Lithuania welcomes our homosexual forces, no doubt.
Member of the church of Fred Phelps are you?
When was the last time you were around any American service members? If you were lately, you’d know that even now the numbers that are homos is not many. Unless you’re an attendee of Westboro Baptist Church, keep in mind that most people serving in our military are patriots. If you cannot handle that, then God help your ignorance.
I could not and would not take the oath to obey the orders of the current supposed CIC. Take that as you will.
Army 0 Navy 1, top of the 4th.
Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia taken together would connect the small part of Russia just south west of Lithuania and north of Poland - currently isolated from the Motherland.
Also Russia would gain more ports to operate out of.
Like the Ukraine taken as a whole gives Russia many closed mil bases, a warm water port (the Crimea).
Unmentioned as yet is Russia taking Kazakhstan to gain free access to the Baikonur Cosmodrome were all Russian manned missions are launched from as well as were its future plans to colonize the Moon will begin.
Does Borat know about this?
Babes of the Baltic are smoking hot!
‘’homosexual forces’’ WTF!?! What are you, Westboro Baptist alumni?
Sigh....give me a fu**ing break.
I’m agreeing with you! The Lithuanians don’t need the US to defend them, and by troops being there they risk being dragged into someone else’s fight. Lithuania can take care of itself. It never lost its identity as a nation or a people, even when under the rule of others.
So now we should support US war-mongering so Russia won’t colonize the moon?
Putin wants to change the current world order. Discrediting NATO and with that the other alliances USA has would be a step toward it. Nothing is happening in the next few years in Lithuania and I think the place where he tries to challenge NATO is going to be Latvia. It is the weakest of the Baltic states and with the highest number of leftover sovok illegal immigrants.
Looks like the current escalation came too soon for him and he did not want to reveal himself just yet. He was perfectly happy with his corrupt puppet Yanukovych in power in Ukraine filling his pockets and weakening Ukrainian state. When Ukrainian people took his puppet down he had to act at the time not comfortable for him as he just can’t have Ukrainian people depose their dictator and come out better off as he might very well be next.
Your premise seems a bit of a stretch. The Barbary Pirates were a clear and direct threat to the well being of citizens of this country who had rights of free passage and to the vital commercial interests of this nation. I question that the same can be said for The Ukraine where the issue is really more one of Civil War though Russia would like to dictate the winner and the people have already spoken in favor of that winner by election of a pro-Russia president that has been ousted.
I said NATO as the commitment authority didn’t I?
The question is really about intent and outcome though. Can he expand the NATO commitment to combat without consent from Congress? It seems so. This isn’t the same as sending troops to chase a bunch of insurgents around central africa.
Do you think that the next step of engaging limited numbers of troops in what would almost surely be a fatal or large and escalating action is part of “legitimate powers”. It sounds more like irresponsible reckless folly to me. Not all things that are permissible are the right thing to do are they?
Have a nice day.
That in not accurate. While Yanukovich was elected rather fairly he was elected into a different position as by 2004 constitutional President did not have much power. The amendment was passed after the Orange revolution and 90% of the legislators voted for it. He managed to use his limited power together with corrupt judges to overturn the constitution claiming there had been procedural errors 6 years ago and started to use the old 1996 constitution, that gave him very large powers.
It began to became clear that he is consolidating his power and there might be no more fair elections ever.
He was also impeached by legal parliament, who had given up on him. Also the 2004 constitution was restored. And new elections were scheduled. Russia tries to paint it as a coup and the new government a junta, but it might be the first time when the first decision of a junta is scheduling early elections.
yeah..weak!
I could not and would not take the oath to obey the orders of the current supposed CIC. Take that as you will.
What has that got to do with you calling the troops being sent to Lithuania homosexual sodomites?
Good to hear from you again, dfwgator! How have you been? I didn't know that Kosciuszko identified himself as Lithuanian. Thanks for filling us in!

Not in Lithuania, it was a grass roots uprising. Here in Rochester, NY, there was a Lithuanian-American young man who did a walk across Lithuania for a fundraiser for the uprising. Many Lithuanian-Americans, including myself, donated to the cause.
If they're welcoming US troops, I'm wondering if it's the people or the leaders who want to get involved in the Globalism game.
I have total respect for people of Lithuanisn ancestry I've met. I don't have much respect at all for the mischief US interference has created in globalist ventures.
Pilsudski was also Lithuanian.
