“Whats so chilling about this news”.

Watch a parade of these armies on YouTube and get back to us.
But all of the Baltic nations are NATO members.
No, I don’t think Russia will lose the war in Ukraine. But it wasn’t supposed to last more than a few months. Like Operation Barbarossa, a colossal miscalculation. Putin’s got a trainload of egg on his face, he is not going to — he would not be permitted to — move on the Baltic states. Tyrants rarely get two debacles before they are eliminated.
“....without NATO approval”...wink,wink
If they go to war, that is not article V. That is only if they are attacked. Otherwise every pipsqueak country like Estonia can elect to take America to war. If they start fighting in Ukraine without our permission… NATO can and will step back and watch them.
The armed forces of the Baltic states combined number roughly 150k including the ready ready reserve. Using modern tooth to tail calculations, this mean they have approximately 15k combat personnel spread over army, navy and Air Force. Just how many can they afford to sacrifice in Ukraine?
That's Nazi surprise it should be, there's a Nazi Convention going on in Ukraine, and they come from all over to attend.
I just did a quick check. There are reports from major news sources saying the Baltic states have reaffirmed their financial support for Ukraine. But no one is talking about sending troops.
Could this posted YouTube video be a bit of fake news?
What’s the source for that so-called “warning”?
The Balts are Nazis and the mistake of letting them be nations will hopefully not be repeated in the future.
“Could this posted YouTube video be a bit of fake news?”
It’s not even news.
Its a wholesale fabrication by a Ukrainian Partisan, wishing the US and NATO would engage in existential warfare against Russia.
And therefore, and enemy of the American people.
They wouldn’t last a month against the Russians.
Update on the conflict in Ukraine for August 19, 2024…
- As Ukrainian forces continue military operations in Kursk, Russia, the actual line of contact continues to crumble as Russian forces advance;
- Ukrainian progress in Kursk was due to a lack of Russian troops which are now flooding the area to contain and then roll back Ukrainian troops;
- Russian advances along the line of contact consists of overtaking extensive Ukrainian defensive positions;
- The Kursk incursion will raise the cost for Russia, but ultimately will accelerate the collapse of Ukraine’s own fighting capacity;
- US JASSM cruise missiles are being considered for Ukraine, a critical munition required for any future operation against China and a munition that is not produced in quantities equal or larger than even Russian-made cruise missiles;
- JASSMs are air-launched, meaning their use will be restricted by Ukraine’s small number of military aircraft capable of launching them;
All this WAR talk MAY or MAY NOT be credible. I’ve lived long enough to actually remember WHEN I BELIEVED the US Government. Indeed, they are lying to us right now about their involvement in the attempt to kill Trump.
Here’s 3 BIG lies of the Federal Government:
1. Tonkin Gulf (led to all out involvement in Vietnam and 58,000 dead US Troops)
2. WMD in Iraq (led to 5,000 + or - dead US Troops)
3. Afghanistan (led to 5,000 + or - dead US Troops)
The 3 above are just a few of probably thousands of lies by the Federal Government. I don’t believe Iran is going to attack Israel directly nor do I believe they have that capability without getting wiped out.
“”””2. WMD in Iraq (led to 5,000 + or - dead US Troops)
3. Afghanistan (led to 5,000 + or - dead US Troops)””””
Just under 7,000 killed total for both of those, it includes combat deaths and non-combat.
Why do we sell the missile to any friendly country that wants it if it is in short supply?
What DID WE DO when the Soviets decided to give Cuba missiles?
