pressure the Baltic While so far only about Latvian media have speculated could be the nature of the documents under the Wikileaks could affect publications including Latvia, to be read since yesterday at Spiegel online for small details. More specifically, the SPIEGEL belonged from the beginning to the Wikileaks media partners, which data were available in advance. So we are (being) in this case rely on the summaries prepared by the Spiegelanern Elect of the vote. Wikileaks salad
from "pressure from the Baltics" is because the speech - an unusual formulation, most often in the course of history was indeed more pressure on Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians exercised until submission of annexation. It is about the armed conflict in Georgians 2008th Given here of the dossiers of the U.S. diplomats, according to the Baltic States had successfully Georgia during the conflict with Russia, a NATO military strategy called for in the event that Russia and applying military means on Baltic territory. The U.S. ambassador in Riga noted: "The Latvians are wondering whether their membership in NATO and the EU offers the security that they have hoped," and "they look and think to Georgia. That could happen to us"
An extension of NATO security guarantees had been made a condition that the three Baltic NATO members of a common EU strategy towards Russia agreed to. Less the representation of persons acting in the first place is so präkant (as emphasized in many publications on German politicians like), but the fact itself that here at all "pressure from the Baltic States" could be effective. NATO's secret plans against Russia So?
German interest in the Ost-West diplomacy
the rates, which are attributed to Germany in this context. Quote SPIEGEL "writes The U.S. Embassy in Berlin. Germany considers the emergency plan to protect the Baltic against Russia ... as counterproductive and unnecessary" But then allegedly found the solution should come from the German spring. Quote: ". It is still possible that the defense would the Baltic part of the defense of Poland, this idea of the German NATO ambassadors have brought forward in an interview."
"Russia destroys over 20 years, developed here, the trust," Merkel is in view of the events in Georgia, said in an interview with the then Lithuanian President Valdis Adamkus. Even the accession of Ukraine to NATO is to Merkel - have supported over the Baltic states - contrary to the publicly stated from the German government opinion.
details that sound in "normal language" probably less sensational. In detail, there are insights into the U.S. construction-European internal communication - if we do not report the DIENA of 4.12. read have - supposedly on the same subject and on the same documents. There is "pressure from Russia to Lithuania in the case of support for Georgia," the speech. However, it seems on closer reading of this paper as if anyone here reports the French newspaper "Le Monde" is the relationship described here nacherzählt.Ausgiebig Lithuania to Russia, with the support of Lithuania, Georgia and the "orange revolution" in the Ukraine was coined. The Germans were the ones who take the fastest, the arguments of Russia and spreading - the supposedly wrote U.S. diplomats, in this case carefully looked up from a commentator on Latvian Radios . Latvia and Poland were 2008, the hot-blooded supporters of Georgia, and had - in the office at that time was the Secretary Riekstiņš - Sanctions on Russia, the Olympic boycott to the exclusion at the G8 meeting, called for Who does here. to whom? use therefore - despite the alleged "brutal facts" of the Wikileaks documents - once again the media of each country of the adopted public opinion rather than truly new knowledge to prepare the way? Also a contribution to the Latvian portal APOLLO this suggests. Described here is the same process: the American promise of protection ("Eagle Guardian") and the NATO for Poland will be extended to the Baltic States. Only the title is obviously not a quote: "Wikileaks reveals Russian threats of attack against Latvia." Where is fetched? Finally, no Russian diplomats are quoted, but here it's all about what should have written U.S. Ambassador. The Latvijas Avize even goes a step further, citing the same post on the one hand the alleged threats against Lithuania and then the other, to say hastily, Wikileaks serve with his publications on terrorism (facts mixed with comments - in LA is not the first time ). might have to apply the conclusion: no matter whether truth or fairy tale serves as a raw material - politics is politics.
