Note the timing of the two articles. Again, Murdoch's WSJ.

less than 24 hours since the WSJ reported that Ukraine had given in to pressure to not hit refineries.

“Pentagon officials have in recent weeks asked several NATO countries to tone down their rhetoric regarding the threat posed by Russia, arguing that some statements by European leaders and officials have undermined continental security…
It was not clear what specific statement Colby was referring ?to. However, Estonian ?Prime Minister Kristen Michal referred to Putin as a ‘rat in a corner’ in late September.”
quote:
US officials have urged NATO allies including Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia to soften their public warnings about the Russian threat, arguing that the rhetoric undermines European security, Reuters reports. Elbridge Colby, the Pentagon official overseeing a review of the US military presence in Europe, was among those tasked with delivering that message. In one meeting with a Baltic representative, he warned against “provoking” Russians. In another, the Pentagon pressed an Estonian delegation to be more restrained in public.
THE COST OF QUIET
A European official described Washington’s message this way: America is helping and will remain alongside its allies, but they should make less noise. States on NATO’s eastern flank are making a perverse demand. Baltic governments have reason to speak openly about Russian hybrid attacks and border provocations. Public warnings help allies recognise a pattern and prepare for it. Treating those warnings as the danger shifts scrutiny away from Moscow’s conduct and onto the countries living with its consequences.
quote:
The Baltics owe Trump no silence while his officials treat their security warnings as an inconvenience. His administration has burned through trust and cannot demand deference on command.
quote:
Here is the Trump administration doing exactly what Ru has always thought responsible U.S. leaders should be doing: keeping its allies in check and in line with the U.S. policy to avoid military confrontation with Russia. And it’s happening now.

If Trump "is seething in the White House" now, just wait until January when the new Congress is sworn in.
quote:
Yes, except the U.S. has been asking Ukraine to stop hitting oil refineries for weeks (it was even reported in the WSJ that Ukraine had agreed to do so until after the midterms) and yet Kyiv just blew up one at Novokuybyshevsk.
I'd be very surprised indeed if the Baltic states "toned down" their rhetoric on Russia because Bridge Colby asked them to.[No shite.] Meanwhile, Trump can't find a buyer for Russian diesel en route to these shores because Congress keeps threatening to prosecute anyone who volunteers. And the New York Times says he is seething in the White House, awaiting electoral doom in five days and consuming bad poll numbers and "AI slop."

That didn't take long. Colby, it sounds like you're being invited to the Sonic. And with your future prospects, if you go, drop off a resume and application while you're there.
quote:
Estonian Prime Minister refuses to tone down his rhetoric toward Russians: “I’m not going to hold back”
“Putin is a dictator who kills women and children. And he will continue to do so until he is forced to change course,” Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal said. Speaking to Delfi, he said he had received no direct requests from the US to soften his rhetoric.
The politician added: “Appeasing dictators only leads to humiliation, and freedom will ultimately be lost anyway.”

A recent YouTube by fern is seriously misleading and went viral.
McBeth covered it.
Russia really doesn't have the umph to threaten any invasion, MAYBE a small incursion..

Sources say. Need Slo's bag of popcorn.

Sources deep inside the IC knowing of Putins troubles of late are concerned he could turn on the Baltics and have in the last week given Intel and advice to the Baltic nations.
My Sources lol

With Russia and Trump both, it's the Narrative. Always the Narrative.

Every day Russian strikes hit our energy infrastructure, causing extensive damage. Russia’s operation against our power generation, energy grids and interconnectors continues. It launched 17 ballistic missiles last night, some of which struck our oil refining infrastructure in Kremenchuk.
The Russians have not taken a single step toward energy de-escalation. We will act accordingly and justly.

Verification, Cut and pasted from ISW’s summation yesterday.

Ukrainian forces recently advanced southeast of Oleksandrivka and northeast of Hulyaipole. Russian forces recently advanced north of Kostyantynivka.

Just imagine if any of our troops in Ukraine had been killed or injured by Russian drones or missiles while we were blocking interceptor access to Starlink or not sharing early warning data. Whose hands would that blood be on?

Of course, if US troops had been stationed in the area they would have been protected by our government from drone or missile attacks.
Oh... wait.
