Gravitas | Will Putin invade strategic NATO island in Baltics? | WION Shorts

Baltic nations are worried after a draft Russian decree proposed revising its borders in the Baltic Sea. The draft decree would reportedly see Russia claiming as its territories that belong to Finland and Lithuania. Although there is no confirmation of any such plans from Moscow, Russia's recent nuclear drills near Ukraine have worried NATO veterans who say that Putin has his eyes set on capturing a key island in the Baltic Sea.

NATO should be worried about Russia’s nuclear arsenal; That’s the whole point of having a nuclear arsenal.

Why was the USA so successful during the Cold War?

It implemented the Marshall Plan to economically strengthen its partners in Europe.

The USA was the largest economy and opened its market to the products of its allies.

The USA offered its allies a security umbrella with nuclear deterrence through NATO.

As a result, America managed to push back the influence of the Soviet Union on Europe and ultimately win the Cold War.

The alliance between Western Europe and the USA is proving difficult today.

For example, Germany follows a mercantilist economic model and is therefore dependent on cheap energy and large growth markets.

Russia and China can provide both of these for Western Europe like no other country.

The USA, on the other hand, is becoming increasingly less important as an economic partner.

And since the collapse of the Soviet Union, there is no serious military threat from Russia to Western Europe.

Nevertheless, tens of thousands of American soldiers are still stationed in hundreds of US military bases and US nuclear weapons are stationed on German soil.

If you look at the situation objectively from the US perspective, America is protecting Europe from the countries with which it has close trade relations.

Europe's core interest, however, is to further expand its economic relations with the USA's biggest competitors.

Don't be blinded by the politicians' rhetoric.

Feelings, shared history, values, culture and traditions play no role at all in whether alliances really work.

What matters is whether the interests coincide.

And it turns out that the interests of Europe and the USA can no longer be reconciled today and this partnership will soon end.

The echo of Ukraine's resolve resonates across continents, a song of unity and hope.

The courage of Ukraine is a symphony, played by the hands of heroes and the hearts of the hopeful.

25 clever little foxes 🦊 🇪🇺 persuaded by an eagle 🦅 🇺🇸 to go for an easy meal went into the cave of the giant red bear 🐻 and poked him all winter because it appeared to be smaller and a skeleton of old itself. When the bear refused to wake up they wondered why they were ever scared of this bear and decide to kill it and take its cave for themselves. They feared no consequences.

They went in way too deep and the hungry bear blocked their exit when it finally woke up at its appointed time after a very long winter.


25 clever foxes now realise that they were nothing more than 25 scared little mouses 🐁 🇪🇺 🐭 when the hungry bear stood up and he looked strong still. Its hibernating appearance was a deceptive one they found out way too late. The bear aimed for an island so it can enjoy hunting a fox mousy 🦊🐁 in any direction while it licked its lips. 😂😂😂
