    Does that leave enough coverage for the Baltics?

    Ah yes, surely NATO building forces along the Russian border will have no negative consequences!

      I think you have cause and effect back to front there.

      We’ve been getting warnings about planned Russian action against the EU for months, the CIA head honcho flew into Moscow a couple of days ago, last time he did that was just before Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.

      Whether you believe the warnings are propaganda or not, this is clearly action intended to dissuade Russia from doing something

          LOLwut ? Where did I say that ?

          1. It’s not the kiddy fiddler’s minions that are saying Russia is planning something, it’s been Finland, Sweden, Norway, Estonia, Poland etc…pretty much half of NATO has made press-releases referencing various intelligence reports over the last 6 months that they’re expecting something. (links below)

          2. Belarus is in the middle of doing pretty much exactly the same thing it did before the Ukrainian invasion - setting up a staging area with a rail line siding for unloading a 60 car train, right over near the border https://united24media.com/war-in-ukraine/belarus-builds-rail-linked-military-training-ground-near-ukraine-for-mass-equipment-deployment-21964

          3. Even a stopped clock can be right once a day, but we don’t know whether Ratcliffe went to Moscow to discourage Putin, or to give him the go-ahead that the US will stay out - both options are possible

          Links for example:

            Look at the instance, that guy is a tankie. Or Russian agent. Or a troll, i guess, but there isn’t much difference.

              For sure, lemmy.ml is full of tankies and Russian apologists, but call me quixotic but I’m not inclined to let their arse- backwards logic stand unchallenged.

          It would be a lack of trust as Trump said Russia wasn’t going to invade.

            I personally doubt it will be a formal invasion, it would be far more in character for niggling provocations to try and goad NATO into striking first so they can claim injured innocence and deniability of having caused it.

      So Russia should be able to do whatever the fuck it wants without consequence?

        Did the voices in your head say that?

        Who are you arguing with?

          Since you’re unable yo understand that was for you I can see you can’t understand the point either

          At this point, Are you a Russian shill or just a troll?

      There will be much less negative consequences from building forces than not doing it. Russia taught that to the world. And the world learned.
