“La sicurezza della Lituania è la sicurezza della Germania” – Pistorius a Vilnius

Successful deployment of the German brigade in Lithuania is the shared responsibility of Vilnius and Berlin, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius told Lithuanian lawmakers on Thursday.

“It is our shared responsibility to make this flagship project a success. We all are and remain committed to the road map that we agreed on last December, with the clear goal to deploy the brigade to Lithuania by 2027 – provided that the necessary infrastructure is operational by that time,” the German minister said.

The brigade’s Activation Staff will be established in Lithuania by the end of this year, the German minister said.

“By 2025, we plan to deploy roughly 500 service personnel. In 2026, we will transfer further personnel as well as the command of our multinational battle group in Lithuania to our brigade,” Pistorius said, adding that “in this endeavour, we can build on what is already a strong and robust bond that is now entering into a new era”.

Pistorius would make a good chancellor and would have a much better chance to beat Merz than Scholz.

The only downside would be that we would lose a great defence minister.

Russia can’t reach Kharkiv let alone Berlin, its economy is about to go down in ruins, it is emptying USSR stocks meant for war against NATO, it cannot handle the NATO equipment from the 80s and 90s, it lost its Black Sea Navy against acoustic country with no Navy.. and I could go on and on about the sad pathetic state Russia is in as a state and a supposed military power. So how is it supposed to threaten Germany(a NATO member)?
