One would think that such ideas if indeed were to turn into promises would be a comforting thought to the people of the Baltic States. A reminder that the United States and it’s Allies had made similar promise to the Baltic States when they were forcibly incorporated into the so called Soviet ‘Union’. The People of the Baltic States waged a long term armed resistance to the invading ‘Soviets’ (RUSSIANS) while clinging to hopes that promised assistance from the ‘Free World’ would be delivered. These promises were never kept. The resistance was eventually overwhelmed by
the vast numbers and overwhelming capabilities of the Soviets. Leaving those small states to be brutalized by their invaders. Mass arrests, deportations and slaughter were to follow.
Actions are more valuable than ideas and promises.
