MODERATORS
Germany and other countries have soldiers stationed in Lithuania on a NATO initiative. Where‘s the difference?
It’s all done on a case-by-case basis. Joining NATO isn’t like Civ’s “your armies can travel in my territories” negotiation perk that applies to all of NATO. It needs to be a bilateral agreement. NATO is a mutual defense alliance, but it is absolutely not intended to undermine any member’s sovereignty.
Very difficult for me to tell you the difference because we are not privy to that type of information. Seeing as it is incredibly sensitive. I didn't strike the deal with Lituania. And I didn't strike the deal with Sweden and USA. (Sorry)
But the similarity, is that Lithuania agreed to it.
you find it weird that I asked that question?
Is that relevant to anything?
to our conversation, yes. I ask a question, not necessarily to you, you know, and you derail the conversation with: how should I know, I didn‘t make the deal with Lithuania? yeah it‘s relevant to my appreciation of you, I guess.
