Nevertheless, V.Putin has no intention to start a war. And this fact is well known in Washington.
The question then arises: why does the US prepare Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia for a war against Russia?
Firstly, these preparations have immensely powerful propagandistic effect upon the population and evoke anti-Russian sentiments among the society, distracting people from real problems. Secondly, different armed units of nationalists can be used for neutralization of the opposition. Thirdly, these training programs are very attractive financially for those who implement them.
However, there is one more expectable goal for those who are trying to turn the Baltic countries into a "partisan region" or, as American journalist Michael Totten put it, in "another Afghanistan". It is possible that the centers, created in the Baltic States, are used by the US SOF personnel not only for training local militants.
It is more appropriate to compare the Baltic States with Pakistan. The US and British intelligence services have established a lot of terrorists training camps in this country. Throughout its history, the US SOF used irregular forces primarily as offensive instrument of hybrid warfare.
It is a well-known fact that a lot of different "seminars" and "trainings" for "non-systemic oppositionists" are held on the territory of the Baltic States. But these oppositionists are trained and sponsored by different nongovernmental organizations (NGO), not by the US SOF staff. As a rule, NGOs representatives connected with the CIA and the U.S. Department of State.
At present, however, the Pentagon allocates funds for setting up special training centers. A lot of militants will be trained there for sabotage in Russia. "Students" for these "lessons" will be recruited from among Russian citizens (neo-Nazis or ultra-liberals), locals and Ukrainian residents.
What for? Let's say that Washington does everything in order to provoke conflict between Russia and the Baltic States.
How to prepare your crushing defeat
The problem is that the leaders of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia associate themselves not with their own nation, but with the global power brokers, whose orders they carry out.
Unfortunately, informal NATO leaders do not conceal that they consider the Baltic region as the most promising and advantageous direction of attack on Russia. By the way, The European Commission has just submitted a plan on how to modernize the EU transport infrastructure for the sake of NATO requirements. This document provides the adaptation of roads and railways in the Baltic region in order to responsive deployment of heavy military equipment: tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and automatic control systems.
Eventually, the leaders of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia have nothing to object to NATO's plans of turning their countries just into battlefields. And they even don't care how much people will die for their ambitions.
