Permanent U.S. military presence needed to combat Russian menace, Lithuania says
By Ben Wolfgang - The Washington Times - Thursday, June 14, 2018
NEWSMAKER INTERVIEW:
Lithuania would welcome a more permanent U.S. troop presence within its borders to deter increasingly brazen Russian provocations, the Baltic nation’s defense chief said Thursday, stressing that Lithuanian forces are committed to backing American-led missions in Iraq and Afghanistan but need as much U.S. help as they can get at home.
Arguing that the U.S. and other NATO allies must beef up their military might in the Baltic states as a counterweight to Moscow, Lithuanian Defense Minister Raimundas Karoblis said he also supports Poland’s offer to pay up to $2 billion for the potential construction of an American base there. The Pentagon has remained quiet about such an offer.

I'd rather see troops stationed in Lithuania, which supports Western/Christian values (and almost certainly opposes creeping islamism), than in Germany, which seems to have little interest in protecting the same.
