Episode notes
Patterned Provocations In The Baltics
- Patrick and Alexander observe a cluster of incidents in the Baltics and nearby states that form a worrying pattern rather than isolated errors.
- They suggest these events may be staged or exaggerated to pressure the US to maintain security commitments.
Europe May Be Amplifying Routine Events
- Alexander argues it's unlikely Russia is staging these incidents because their tactics would differ if they sought to intimidate Europe.
- He concludes Europeans may be fabricating or spinning routine events to coerce US support after the Pentagon signalled drawdown.
Europe's Entitlement To US Support
- Patrick notes the US under Trump is telling Europeans to handle their own defence so America can focus elsewhere.
- He says Europeans resist because they assume unlimited US money and weapons will remain available.
