“Baltic States Ask for More US Troops on Russia's Doorstep
“The Balts' politicians are doing it because they equate US bases with revenue but Russia can hardly ignore tens of thousands of non-native troops a stone throw from its border”
The truth is that the Baltic states should never have been taken into NATO. They have nothing of substance to contribute, they will be a continuing source of annoyance and even embarrassment, and foreign troops placed there, on Russia's doorstep, are a needless provocation.
Well, I hope they enjoy having all those extra bozo troops hanging around with nothing to do but visit bars and brothels, start fist-fights and harass women on the streets.
What a truly stupid thing to do to yourself when there is no threat.
As for the countries contributing troops, well, I guess they have money to burn.
Although you certainly wouldn't think that from the deficits and disorder in their budgets, which is what we find in America, Canada, and certainly the poor old UK which is about to make itself even poorer with Brexit.
The fact is, we are led by nincompoops, and it will only be a matter of luck or accident if we avoid war.
