@I ain't Spartacus

Totally agree, have a pint on me. If anyone has been watching the BBC 'Army: Behind the New Frontlines' series over the last couple of weeks, it seems plain that the Baltic states feel threatened by Russia.

It's unlikely that Russia will invade using conventional forces whilst NATO has troops on the ground, but there is still the threat of Russia fermenting turmoil with the indigenous Russian community as per Ukraine.

Russia has already spread lies about German troops raping Baltic state women when there weren't even any German troops on the ground. So it is clear Russia is already fighting a propaganda war against the Baltic states.

If we want to keep our NATO commitments, and expect our friends to keep their commitments, we need conventional troops, armour, ships and aircraft to deny Russia the opportunity to attack.
