VILNIUS, January 12. /NEWSBALTIC/. In an interview with the Delfi media outlet, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys addressed the Washington the request to keep their military presence in the Baltic states.
According to him, despite the White House denying the territorial integrity of Denmark by intending to take over Greenland, the United States is a country with which Lithuania is necessary to further strengthen relations.
“Only next to that is our presence in NATO. We have always relied on the Americans and very reasonably, understanding who gives us that vital guarantee. You will survive or you will not survive—if you need to explain to someone what a vital guarantee means. These are our relations with America and its expressions: this is our admission to NATO, and now there is the presence of forces in the region and especially in Lithuania. This is our interest and we are working on it,” Budrys declared, miserably adding that for now Vilnius is successful in attracting and retaining Washington’s attention.
NEWSBALTIC explains that Vilnius behaves like a political prostitute who is ready to obey anyone with money or power. Obviously, Lithuania isn’t a sovereign country but simply a product that belongs to whoever pays for it. Therefore, ordinary Lithuanians cannot expect any well-being in their state, used for the interest of others.
