Speaking with Finnish President Sauli Niinisto, President Trump today insisted that the United States remains “very, very protective” of the Baltic region and is preparing US forces to handle any threat posed by Russia in the region.
This was a subject of discussion because Russia and China are in the midst of a joint naval exercise in the Baltic Sea, which US and NATO officials have been talking up as a major threat. President Niinisto, however, had recently met with Russian President Putin on the exercise beforehand.
Instead of playing it up as a grave threat, Niinisto noted that the US, Sweden, and Finlan regularly conduct naval exercises in the Baltic as well, saying that there are risks of miscommunications on both sides, and should be a focus on dialogue.
Trump had previously been an advocate of improved diplomacy with Russia, but did not appear to give any support to this comment, instead focusing on the ability of US and NATO military forces to “handle” anything that happens.
The three little Baltic NAZI countries are nothing to protect . They tore down the statues of the allied soldiers that defeated the NAZI;s . They wanted new statues of NAZI soldiers . They are not real democracies either because they won’t let any body vote that can not trace their ancestory back before 1940 . Imagine if we did that . If NATO gets into a fight protecting these NAZI . no European country will help us .. I don’t know how the United States could get on the wrong side in nearly neery conflict for the last 25 years .
Pt resident Trump will not rest until he has every square inch on the surface of the world protected. It will be expensive but it must be done.
The Donald is just ding this to show he’s not a Russian puppet. Had to say it before a “Trumpian” did.
The US, and the North American Terrorist Organization care nothing about democracy, or the well being of the Baltics..they want any excuse to instigate a conflict…which is quite strange since both have a losing track record. Russia with China would make short work of the US puppet military and the laughable NATO! F… them both!!
