On the pages of Forbes, was publicly recognized as “meaningless” to make the Baltic States into NATO. Membership of the Baltic countries in the North Atlantic Alliance has significantly affected the security of the United States: as a result of their activities in NATO risk nuclear war with Russia over countries that America to the bulb. For the Baltic elites such statements from overseas — a reminder that for American masters Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia — emergency ballast that USA, if necessary, easily be thrown overboard.
One of the most famous and influential business media on the planet — the us financial-economic magazine Forbes — in the beginning of the month, came the “software” analytical article “Why America is part of NATO?”, questioning the appropriateness of the existence of the Alliance, which does not guarantee the security of the United States, but only puts the safety at risk.
The main idea of the article — taking in your new members, who are often weak, useless and incapable of self-defence of the country, the Alliance forces the Americans to take custody of these new pathetic allies. It makes Washington just the headache because it forces him to get involved in various regional conflicts in the countries which do not ensure the safety of the United States. Countries that America in General is not needed.
NATO expansion has become an end in itself — in practice, this extension is not for Americans any sense, not in the national interest of the United States, and in the future creates for the Pentagon and the us state Department issues. Add Montenegro is like that to another senseless friend in Facebook” — begins his article by Forbes staffer Doug Bando.
“Presidents and legislators continue to provide security for the Deposit of money and lives of American citizens in foreign countries, and it happens even then — as in the case of Montenegro, when they have absolutely no value to the security of the United States,” writes Forbes. Business publication exposes the ruthless criticism of the policy of increasing the membership of NATO, with biting sarcasm, criticizing the principle of “expansion for expansion”, in which America is obliged, for example, to bear obligations before the Turkey is a “friend-enemy” the United States, where the government is Islamist, Erdogan fiercely criticized in his speeches “the decadent West” and “American imperialism”, but immediately running for help to the allies after they provoked conflict with Russia.
However, much more striking example of worthless and pathetic allies that America slung on his shoulders and is now forced to defend them, although they do not need neither her nor Europe is the Baltic States, with merciless candor named by Forbes “the helpless Nations.”
“Expanding into the Baltic States was a colossal mistake, which NATO members have become a helpless nation, the protection of which is not interested in the rest of Europe, the countries that have no geopolitical value for America, however, involved in a sharp controversy with Russia, writes the American edition. — If something is bad, then America with minimal support from the European “allies” — they are likely to seek asylum in Brussels — will have apparently to deal with the nuclear weapon by Russia on the disputed issues of much greater interest to Moscow than Washington”.
“The security of the United States significantly affected by adding Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania,” concludes Forbes, and based on this conclusion, urging people not to repeat the Baltic “colossal error” in the countries of “Eastern partnership”, NATO taking in Georgia and Ukraine.
It is noteworthy that Forbes did not say a word about the “Imperial ambitions” or “violent neighborhood” — the conflict between Russia and the Baltic States exists objectively, but the reason it specifies “heated debate” between Moscow and the Baltic countries. Who is this policy — the question is rhetorical, given that the recently adopted foreign policy Concept of the Russian Federation (2013), in which the Baltic States did not say a word, legally approved diplomatic line of Moscow against Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia is ignoring the whole Trinity. Silent contempt is the universal official reaction of Russia to calls for its international isolation, comparisons with the Third Reich and women’s hysteria about “terrorist state”. Only a few months later, without any apparent connection with these public attacks, was suddenly banned Latvian sprats, got under embargo milk products and Russian transit were redirected from Baltic ports to Russian.
So in the conflict of Russia with the Baltic States the Baltic States are to blame — says a leading American business publication, and, appealing to the most Holy, “the lives of American citizens” asks: why America should expose themselves to the threat of nuclear war with Russia due to verbal incontinence Dalia Grybauskaite and of Edgars Rinkēvičs?
And this is what Baltic allies ultimately from her and demand: the week goes from Vilnius sounded another call to increase the US presence in the region, including military presence. For the Baltic countries and the question that they themselves fought: no, we just answer for our words about the “new Mordor” needs allies. The allies should do: they should increase the presence of NATO in the region, to send to the Baltic countries their troops, and place a NATO base land, for the sake of going to a direct conflict with Russia.
This behavior, incidentally, is contrary to the basics of the basics of Anglo-Saxon culture, and the Americans, who from birth are taught to expect in life only for themselves, to take responsibility for their words and be able to stand up for themselves, can only cause disgust. This aversion is read in Forbes publication between the lines, that disgust is the question: why the United States allies, these “helpless nation”? “In the end, since the end of world war II 70 years have passed. GDP and population of the European Union more than the corresponding figures in America, and much more than in Russia. Isn’t it time for the rich friends of Washington to begin to protect themselves?”, “writes the American magazine, noting that because of their cowardly allies, the White house continues to risk the lives of its citizens, because Europe does not want to worry about having a sufficient number of men and women in military uniform”.
For Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, publication Forbes is a reminder that the Baltic States for Washington — is an emergency ballast that USA, if necessary, easily thrown overboard, which does not represent value to them, and for which the Americans will not fight.
The Forbes article is not just an article, because he, Forbes is not just a business magazine. Forbes is one of the mouthpieces of Wall street, this “newspaper” first economy in the world, a voice which says business and political elite of the United States of America. Forbes says its valuable is not quantity but quality of the audience about the “best workers” (a rating of the richest people in the world) and about problems in the supercorporation called the United States.
The publication of a miserable, frustrating and threatening security in the United States the allies could not appear in such media just.
American establishment is aware of the situation “helpless Nations” as a problem, has concluded that no value in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia to the United States don’t realize, and publicly hinted that if necessary, Washington the Baltic States will pass.
