DISINFO: The arrival of the German-led NATO battalion to Lithuania is...

SUMMARY

The arrival of the German-led NATO battalion to Lithuania is similar to Nazi occupation. The visit of German Minister of Defence Ursula von der Leyen in Lithuania is similar to Adolf Hitler’s visit in Klaipeda in 1939.

RESPONSE

Tasteless accusation with no evidence. Lithuania welcomed the NATO troops: bit.ly/2liobgr, and actually would like to see more of them because of Russia' aggresive behaviour: reut.rs/2loTWEp, // NATO does not occupy its allies.
