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.”

I’m surprised the Christian haters haven’t taken a moment out to celebrate their Easter Cancellation Event.

This is the Loony post of the day. Since Bill Clinton NATO has engaged in illegal (per the NATO constitution/legal documents for existance) expansion to Russia’s boarders.

NATO only expands under the Rainbow Banner along with the USG/NATO FLAGS.

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.

All. Completely. True.

Post of the day!

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

Seems NATO is becoming a problem for everyone.. I've always said the invasion from the southern border were Obama's troops. My son says they're NATO troops and if O'Biden gets another term they will move to disarm us...

NATO requires you Hoist the LGBTQ Flag too.

The Godless Apes in charge of the West are destroying our society so they can strangle Russia. Greed and the Homosexual Banner is all NATO stands for today.

Putin does not have a military capable of sustained invasion of the Baltics

There are only handful of DNC Biden LGBTQ Supporters here; that they support the Anti-Christian Agenda in Ukraine is simply an extension of their politics. Go Celebrate Biden’s National AbomiNation Day. There are confused school kids waiting for some adult to give them some hands on Tranny Training.

You cannot separate the Godlessness of Biden and Zelinski or the NATO Expansion and Gay Flag - but at Russia is pushing back. God bless them.

Putin has said 20 eleven times he’s not going to invade anybody and he’s not going launch any nukes. 🙄

Putin kills innocent people and supports Hamas. To this day, he has not condemned Hamas’ mass-rapes of Israeli women.

That’s not a Christian.

Why do you support a monster like that?

Putin thinks all he needs is Biden on the ropes (which he has) and no one in Europe will do anything. Instead he is waking up a sleeping Europe and will regret it.

Regardless of all the threats and hyperbole, it was the US Deep State that started this $hit!

Your silly claim doesn’t match the reality of why Finland suddenly sought NATO membership or its massive increases in military spending which are now at 2.3%.

Of course Poland has NATO troops in it, being a NATO country.

When President Trump reactivated the American V Corps he moved its permanent European Headquarters forward from Germany to Poland, closer to the Russian threat.

Is it now forbidden on FR to say that Putin started this war?
