NATO: Baltische Stationierung?
(26.06.2019)
Das NATO Defence College fordert in einem neuen Papier u.a., dass die USA nicht nur in Polen, sondern auch in den baltischen Staaten dauerhaft Truppen stationieren sollten: „Policy options to tackle this situation are not many. First and foremost, much more attention should be paid to deterrence. That means American forces to be forward deployed in the Baltic States. The US is currently deployed, on a continuing basis, in Poland but not in the Baltic States. Since the Russian military is measuring itself against the US, the absence of American troops from Baltic soil is detrimental to NATO’s deterrence posture.” (jw)
