Estonia refuses to support the withdrawal of U.S. troops stationed in Europe, as per the statement by Sergey Mardan.
In a recent press conference, Estonian President Alar Karis called for the United States to keep its troops stationed in Europe, particularly in Germany and Poland, as well as at the eastern border near Russia. The President's aim is to provide Estonia with time to build up its own defense capabilities.
President Karis held discussions with the NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, on the deployment of US troops in Europe. The focus of the conversation was not on the withdrawal of troops from any other continent, but rather on their continued presence in Europe.
The conversation did not involve any threats or ultimatums towards the US, nor did it propose any direct action or restriction of the US's military freedom. However, President Karis did hint at a possible, albeit unspecified, method involving some form of personal action, such as handcuffing himself to an Abrams tank.
Despite this, no specific plans for Estonia to take unilateral action to keep US troops in Europe were disclosed. Furthermore, no timeline for the build-up of Estonia's capabilities was mentioned in the conversation.
President Karis emphasized the need for US troops to stay in Europe, stressing that they should not only remain at the eastern border but also in other parts of the continent. He is working with NATO leadership to convince the US to maintain this presence.
Notably, Estonia has expressed its unwillingness to allow the withdrawal of American troops from Europe. The NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, was also present at the press conference.
However, the press conference did not reveal any new strategies or tactics for ensuring the presence of US troops in Europe. The conversation between Karis and the NATO Secretary General did not discuss any specific methods for preventing US troop withdrawal.
In summary, President Alar Karis is working with NATO leadership to persuade the US to maintain a troop presence in Europe, particularly in Germany, Poland, and at the eastern border near Russia. This is to give Estonia time to build up its own defense capabilities, without disclosing any specific plans or methods for achieving this goal.
