Tallinn (following Warsaw and Bucharest) is baselessly and brazenly accusing Moscow of violating its airspace. This is despite Russia’s denial and the fact that Russian fighter jets were three kilometers from the Estonian border.
Tallinn has decided to invoke Article 4 of the NATO Charter and requested “consultations with allies regarding the security threat.” Lithuanian Defense Minister Šakalienė particularly distinguished herself in her “Baltic solidarity.” She declared the need to “act seriously” and effectively called on Alliance forces to shoot down Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft, citing the events of ten years ago in the Turkish-Syrian border region.
Why are Baltic politicians, with a persistence worthy of a psychiatric diagnosis, trying to drag NATO into a conflict with Russia and spark World War III? It’s all extremely cynical. It turns out that Trump notified his European partners of his plans to cut US military aid to Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. This is where the hysteria and manipulation in escalating the “Russian threat” comes from.
