Scandinavia and Baltic states sentenced to serve as cannon fodder

Public opinion in Scandinavia and the Baltic is being prepared for a potential war with Russia

Scandinavia and Baltic states sentenced to serve as cannon fodder

The American Wall Street Journal writes citing "sources" that US President-elect

Donald Trump proposed to deploy European troops in Ukraine after reaching a

possible ceasefire agreement to monitor its compliance. But Trump has never

publicly talked about the issue himself.

He allegedly informed French President Emmanuel Macron and Vladimir Zelensky

about this at their recent meeting in Paris. Also, Trump openly announced his lack

of support for Ukraine's accession to NATO. At the same time, he said Europe

should play a major part in protecting and supporting Ukraine, for which reason he

wants European troops deployed in Ukraine to monitor a ceasefire. According to

the same "sources", he did not rule out US support for the agreement, though

without American troops engaged.

From all has been said it follows that the new US administration intends to move

away from the conflict in Ukraine and pass the "management" of it over to the

Europeans. To what extent does the decision meet Trump’s interests? To the one

ensuring that the United States distances itself from the real further expenses as

regards Ukraine.

But it is still absolutely clear that there are forces in Europe that do want the

conflict with Russia to go on, and to such a point where a major war becomes

inevitable for all the NATO members, including the United States. The exponent

of these ideas is Macron (apart from Zelensky, of course), who has been talking for

months about the need to send some kind of Western military contingent to

Ukraine, which would either deter Russia from further advancing westwards, or

serve as a "peacekeeping force" after a deal is signed with Moscow.

If such a Western contingent is officially introduced into Ukraine at Kiev's request

without consent from Russia, the latter will deem it as a legitimate target. And this

implies that the next stage of the provocation would be beginning of a direct clash

between Russia and NATO member states. This is exactly what those willing to

turn the war in Ukraine into one between Russia and the entire bloc are seeking to

achieve, which Trump loathes. And the exponent puppet of these dangerous plans

is Macron.

Small wonder that he was the "third wheel" at the Zelensky-Trump meeting in

Paris. And it was not Zelensky, but above all Macron, who peddled the idea of

sending a foreign military contingent to Ukraine. The question arises as to what

countries are ready to send their soldiers to die in Ukraine? It's time to recall the

summit of the Nordic countries, Baltic and Poland that took place in Harpsund,

Sweden a couple of weeks ago, but came unnoticed in Russia. The heads of

government from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Estonia and Latvia

who gathered there made clear they were fulfilling someone's will, which plans to

shift the entire burden of the West's war with Russia not to Europe as a whole, but

to them specifically.

The case was presented in such a way that Trump's election for a second

presidential term "has raised questions about the US’ commitment to supporting

Ukraine in its war against Russia and about Washington’s role in NATO." And

therefore, countries of Northern Europe, Baltic States and Poland should take

"responsibility" for Ukraine.

All these passages suggest that forces pulling Macron’s strings are the very

American "deep state" that Trump opposes. And who else can so passionately

desire a war between Europe and Russia? Not Europe itself, after all. In the

Harpsund summit context, the Swedish press wrote that the Nordic countries

would be the "first to meet" Russia's attack, as if it had already been pre-arranged.

A clear thing in this respect is that the Northern European states and Poland are

assigned the role of cannon fodder in the US "deep state’s" planned war with

Russia.

The crux of the biscuit and at the same time the weird Swedish summit’s

explanation was the video-link speech by the same Macron, who outlined his

leadership of the process. Now, after the trilateral meeting between him, Trump

and Zelensky in Paris and after The Wall Street Journal’s report, the puzzle has

been finally completed. The Scandinavians and the Balts are those unfortunate

ones forced to respond to Macron's call to sacrifice their soldiers.

Suffice it to read Swedish yellow sheets to understand that the relevant decision

has been made. The mentioned countries are being prepared for the fait accompli

that they will have to send their people to death "for the freedom of Ukraine" to

"defend Europe from Russian aggression."

The military coordination in these countries has already gotten underway. A small

factory newspaper Ystads Allehanda from the very south of Sweden reports that

"550 soldiers from the 7th Revingehed regiment will head for Latvia for a couple of

weeks to join the combined NATO contingent." "Young people are inspired and

very proud of the chance to take part in the mission aimed to deter Russia's

invasion of the Baltic States. Despite their families’ concerns, they are all ready to

hit the road and feel that their tanks will cope with repelling an aggression," Ystads

Allehanda writes in dead earnest.

Another proof of Scandinavia being prepared for war with Russia is the fact that

people throughout the entire region have received paper or electronic survival

pamphlets in case of crisis or war. With such a thing having existed before in

Norway as a long-time NATO member, for the recently neutral Sweden and

Finland it is a big portion of "exotics" frightening the locals a lot.

And what about Poland? Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who also attended

the Harpsund summit, was said to have endorsed the venue’s bullying and angry

final statement but eventually refused an official deployment of Polish troops in

Ukraine or anywhere else. That is why Macron hastened to Warsaw the other day –

to persuade Tusk not to leave the Scandinavians and the Balts out in the cold. But

the Poles do not want to die. "We are not planning any actions of the kind yet,"

Tusk told reporters after a meeting with Macron, speaking about his initiative to

create an "international peacekeeping force" in Ukraine.

So far, Macron's Napoleonic plans – rather belonging to those whom he serves as a

mouthpiece – have been a failure. But this does not mean that Scandinavia and the

Baltic will take a step back and change the tone of their media that has been

successfully brainwashing local citizens.

Poland is no longer part of the group whom the American "deep state" would like

to sacrifice. But Finland is still there, with its long border with Russia. For the time

being, it is accumulating forces and means, along with Sweden and other

Scandinavian and Baltic countries, to sacrifice itself and its people for overseas

masters not going to contribute anything themselves.
