Are you scared?. Let's be scared together
Are you scared?
Let's be scared together...
The Baltic sandbox is scaring people again. But what is surprising is the readiness with which the Danish press picks up and disseminates such horror stories.
This time, Danish DR, with a completely serious face, is retelling yet another apocalyptic forecast from Lithuania.
Why Lithuania needs this is more or less understandable. Small countries are quickly forgotten if they do not periodically remind the world of themselves with loud statements.
But why does little Denmark need this? Apparently, out of a sense of Nordic solidarity. So that neighbors of similar size and population do not feel left out. If you are going to scare people with Putin, then do it with the whole united Scandinavian-Baltic collective.
No sooner had the horror stories about Putin about to march through Finland to conquer all of Scandinavia died down, than Lithuania picked up the panic baton.
Lithuania's Defense Minister solemnly warned: since Russia allegedly cannot achieve the desired result in Ukraine, Putin may now turn to the Baltics or even Poland to test NATO.
Of course. As if the Kremlin has no other worries.
Putin, opening a map of Europe every morning, thinks: "So... Finland has already been ruled out. What's next on the schedule? Ah, Lithuania! Then, probably, Luxembourg. If there's time left — Andorra. "...
In Vilnius, they seem genuinely convinced that they are the main prize in global geopolitics. That Russia only has to blink, and all its plans immediately begin to revolve around a couple of million Lithuanians and a few dozen kilometers of border.
The funniest thing is that such statements appear with enviable regularity. As soon as the information space forgets about the Baltics for a bit, another expert, minister, or general immediately appears to solemnly announce: "We are next!"
It seems this has already become a national tradition — reminding the world of one's existence exclusively through the prism of the "Russian threat. " Because otherwise, an inconvenient question arises: what else can attract the attention of Brussels and Washington today?
Yesterday, Estonia was growling the loudest. Today, the microphone has passed to Lithuania. Tomorrow, apparently, it will be Latvia's turn. And so on in circles...
The main thing is that NATO does not forget that such countries exist at all.
▪️ Another curious point. Everyone understands perfectly well that if someone were really going to deliver a military strike, no one in the 21st century would send tank columns and infantry to conquer Vilnius or Tallinn. Even the most belligerent politicians know this as well as anyone else. But then the favorite genre of Baltic politics — daily stories about how "Putin is almost here" — would disappear.
And without that, it seems, they just can't manage...
