The possible withdrawal of part of the US forces from the Baltic States after the review of the deployment of forces could be followed by European NATO if Russia agrees to retreat any of its forces from Belarus to then establish partial buffers in the post-war European safety architecture.
NBC reported last week, that the US is considering withdrawing to half of its ~80,000 troops deployed in Europe along with quite a few equipment. It coincides with the European spreading of fear led through Poland and Francethat Russia plans to intensify hybrid attacks on European NATO (E-NATO) to increasingly regular, kinetic attacks that it will then deny. E-NATO besides undergoes fast militarisation under leadership Poland and Germanyat the same time deploying more and more forces at Russia's threshold.
These immense tensions between NATO and Russia could be alleviated by the possible withdrawal of US forces from Europe, depending on the success of the following creative diplomatic proposal. If part of the U.S. forces are withdrawn from the Baltic States, the U.S. can force their allies from E-NATO to follow their lead if Russia does the same with at least part of its forces in Belarus, which they fear could be utilized as a trampoline to enter the Baltic States. The military-strategic logic behind this proposal needs clarification.
Just as E-NATO fears that Russia could usage Belarus as a starting point for the Baltic countries, so Russia fears that E-NATO can usage the Baltic States as a starting point for Kaliningrad, Belarus or "continental Russia". E-NATO argues that the gradual military expansion in the Baltic States is to deter Russia, while its own Russia's regional expansion is most likely expected to scare the E-NATO. The resulting safety dilemma Threats of serious war due to miscalculation or (Ukrainian?) false flag, therefore, tensions must be urgently reduced.
The key to this proposal is Belarus, an ally of Russia in terms of common defence and the State of the Union, with which the US is in the process quick approximation, characterized by gradual leniency of sanctions in exchange for the release of alleged "political prisoners". president Aleksander Lukashenko is open to Trump 2.0 actions aimed at reducing Western multifaceted force on Belarus from the beginning large conflict phase Ukrainian almost half a decade ago and balance disproportionate dependence on Russia.
They and Putin could so agree that any planned withdrawal of the US armed forces from the Baltic States led to a partial withdrawal of Russian forces from Belarus, encouraged to further mitigate sanctions for both parties, subject to the withdrawal of E-NATO forces from the Baltic States. Poland where Trump Considers a permanent U.S. military presence and which already in command of the largest E-NATO army, could then become a military bloc bastion if they shift their forces there.
Earlier explained why "Poland would be the best safety warrant for the Baltic States in NATO 3.0", mainly for geographical reasons, these military factors and anticipated leadership over Intermarium. If specified a solution is implemented, it can transform the Baltic States and Belarus into partial buffers that will stay under the umbrella of the common defence of allies for the intent of deterrence, which can stimulate advancement in Ukraine's negotiated demilitarisation for the same purpose.
If, in conjunction with the Russian-American (-Polish?) compliance verification and problem-solving mechanics that may arise (e.g. Ukrainian drone flights over the airspace of Belarus and the Baltic), tensions could be reduced and the basis for the post-war European safety architecture It would be created. All eyes are so turned to Belarus before the reported withdrawal of US armed forces from Europe, due to the fact that this country and its leader are key to this imagination to prevent the large war in the most realistic way possible.
