An interesting and very reasonable piece, thanks to the film team and DW. One correction though: 18:22 "...didn't *REgain* independence until the early 1990s." All three Baltics were fully recognized independent states when the USSR occupied and annexed them during WWII, meaning the independence was regained/restored, not gained for the first time. It's a small but still important distinction to make, at least considering how much Russia has tried to rewrite the history of the Baltics to fit their own narratives.

But yeah, history is a cruel mistress to small nations. Fortunately Germany and Sweden have abandoned their imperialist past in favour of mutual cooperation and respect, so the Baltics are safe from the western flank. In the east Russia has of course proven that their imperialism sadly still runs deep and militant, but at least their military capabilities seem have been heavily overestimated by the West. So I would imagine as long as NATO stands strong (which this documentary proves is the case), the Baltics can hope to have a safe and peaceful future.

Good look at eFP from the German perspective. Having been on the American side of eFP it was cool to work with all the other countries in the Battle Group.

The fundamental issue is that Solovyov and Margarita Simonyan on Russian national television claim that the war will not end until Moscow occupies Berlin with soldiers. She is rewarded with medals by Putin for saying so.

From Sweden, Gotland, Fårö: Thinking of Kennedy's New Frontier speech, which I feel is more at home and relevant today than ever before.

I can GUARANTEE, that if NATO had not expanded beyond a united Germany, like the agreement actually was, I don’t even think Putin would be the supreme leader of Russia even.

From many countries, the ruzzian army didn't leave straight away but stayed there for a few years. What's more, it's not like the attitude changed, the ruzzians still positioned themselves as a higher race or superior nation, few examples would be not respecting counties' language, oppressing patriotism, etc. Regarding the time before the annexation of Crimea - time heals, so before the relationship was somehow getting better, but after what ruzzia did and is doing now has opened all the wounds again...no one ever will forget what they have done! This also proved that they can never be trusted, as history repeats again and again. They are a warmongering and deeply disturbed nation that even with the biggest territory in the world and all that they have can't ever be happy...or developed.

Since 1992 US has been involved in 251 conflicts including three hot wars. Iraq=Ukraine an illegal provoked war of choice by a flailing great power. In a just world Bush, Cheney, Nuland, Wolfowitz, Putin and his warmongers belong in prison. In addition the EU has lost it's way, Russia has zero desire to invade any other nation. NATO and US in 1992 committed to not moving NATO one inch east. They did so repeatedly. Of course the US does whatever it wants to any other nation. Destroyed Mexico, Central, South America over two hundred years of coups, invasions, thefts of resources. Lastly imagine China builds a naval base in Mexico?

Interesting! The WW2 German forces also used 2 sniper teams! It was better than the UK/US one-man teams.

This a true attestation to the commitment of NATO member states in upholding article 5. The Baltics owing to their small geographical size and population have always been viewed as a soft underbelly for Russia to exploit in re-establishing it's nostalgic imperial soviet empire. It is important that Germany retrieves the Kaliningrad exclave to sniff out the Russian threat for good because after all it was Köninsberg under the prussian empire. This is the ultimate security guarantee for the baltics.

No one in Germany ever even considered taking Kaliningrad back. If at all it would be independent. There are no Germans anymore, only Russians. How would you integrate it into Germany?

I respect so much that the female soldier in the German armored division said that she's felt no discrimination because of her gender/sex. It's a very rare thing in armies and many societies unfortunately, and I respect Germany and their people soo much for that! GO NATO Slava Ukraini !!!! Go EU!!

Ukraine really has been a major wakeup call for the world. Like, yeah, war can still happen in Europe. War between near peer superpowers can happen. It's not just "brown people" in some far off, "poor people" place. Things like "globalism" and international trade (and capitalism) aren't enough to stave off conflict because, as it turns out not everyone values the same things or puts the same emphasis on economy as other nations.

I hope everyone has their ‘Affairs’ in order. The next war will be an ‘All-Out’ 2 front war from the start and will go down hill for everyone

there was to day released a quite pessimistic article in the Economist on Nato's ability to defend its designated territory. Frankly it seems kit is only the Fins who have really appreciated the risks and have really trained for war. However it has a huge frontier to defend. The aricle claims that despite Russia's current poor performance they have gained much experience and learnt valuable lessons. it goes on to say they could be in a position to challenge Nato within 3 to 5 years !

Poop-Tin is after non NATO member in Europe while executing his expansion plan, somehow thinking he may be a callous, and also an 'insane dictator' is by no means a wrong conclusion. He definitely understands differences between having a military confrontation with NATO alliance and non NATO member clearly🤔

Sorry to nitpick, but ‘Boxers’ aren’t tanks.

It’s all NATOs fault. Or rather, the US. There are hundreds of memorandums regarding the 4+2 discussions in 1989 between the UK, France, US, USSR and the two German nations. It was discussions on what a united Germany would look like, and how the security situation in Europe after the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact (and many thought NATO as well.. But no! The Warsaw Pact dissolved, and every Russian soldier went back to the 18th century borders. Russia willingly and permanently de-militarised the entire “iron curtain” but America since then, has only made it clear that it doesn’t care when Russia tells the US not to expand eastwards as it creates unnecessary tension and since NATO refused to accept Russia as a member or even a European nation that should not have it very legitimate and easily avoidable situations. This is just propaganda. Finland was not in NATO until this year. Yet they’ve always had “freedom” and democracy. Are you people just brain damaged? Honestly? If NATO and Russia actually think the other side is trying to commit a preemptive attack, any town in the Baltics bigger than 1,000 inhabitants will be annihilated with nuclear weapons. So this idiotic grandstanding against Russia instead of having some productive dialogue and listen to what Russia demands of us in NATO so Russia doesn’t feel it’s under imminent nuclear threat. Russia doesn’t have a SINGLE NUCLEAR WARHEAD outside its own borders. The US ha hundreds on standby just in Europe. If you actually try to be neutral m and just research Russias concerns and all of Putins warnings long before 2014.

Why isn't railway used to transport military vehicles as well?

@heikos4264

Жыл бұрын

Different rail networks. That means switching trains, which means loading, unloading, loading, unloading, loading , unloading... Very unefficient and during war time a primary target. Especially because everything would be packed together tight and strapped to a platform, no evasive manouvers possible. And it even saves the opponent a lot of ammunition. One of our PZH2000 could make a train immovable, a handfull of them can destroy everything from front to back in one attack. Same thing with air strikes. That they are driving in packs of not more than 25 and with defined and constant spacing between the vehicles is not only because they disturb civilian traffic less, it's to make them smaller/single targets instead of one big target that becomes nearly immovable once the opponent takes out the first and the last vehicle. Remember the russian convoy at the beginning of the war? It's to prevent something like this. Yes, peace time, using a train wouldn't be a problem at the moment, but as the saying goes, practice makes perfect.
