NATO Shamed Enough to Finally Do Their Job

Incoming U.S. President Donald Trump has shamed NATO into doing their job for a change. He hasn’t even been sworn in yet. preemptively, the North Atlantic alliance “launched a new mission to increase the surveillance of ships in the Baltic Sea.” They’re doing it in response to the severe damage of “critical undersea cables.

NATO decides to act

While Joe Biden’s handlers were in charge, NATO stood back and watched as one critical undersea cable after another was snipped. It looked a whole lot like the Russians were doing it but nobody wanted to push the issue.

All of Europe was quick to complain about it but nobody wanted to actually take any action.

Now that Donald Trump is taking charge of America, and threatening to raise their dues to 5 percent, NATO suddenly decided they should act like we still need them around.

To raise public awareness of their value, Mark Rutte unleashed “Baltic Sentry.” The mission to safeguard communication infrastructure “would involve more patrol aircraft, warships and drones.

Without pointing any fingers, NATO warns whoever has been sabotaging the cables needs to stop, before they’re caught red handed.

Rutte was sure to get the press release into the headlines well in advance of Donald Trump’s inauguration.

What Rutte did say is that “NATO would step up its monitoring of Moscow’s ‘shadow fleet‘ – ships without clear ownership that are used to carry embargoed oil products.” That’s something Trump has been suggesting for a long time.

Ukraine is another thing on everyone’s mind. They admit they were powerless over Putin and Trump’s already arranging a meeting with him. The war appears to be nearly over. “Tensions between NATO countries and Russia have been mounting relentlessly since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

They’re fuming but impotent. That’s why they’re getting tough on the cable cutting. “There is reason for grave concern” over infrastructure damage, Rutte insists. “He added that NATO would respond to such accidents robustly, with more boarding of suspect vessels and, if necessary, their seizure.
