NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Philip Breedlove continued to play up the idea of an imminent Russian invasion of eastern Europe, saying the alliance is preparing “countermoves” in the region that may include US ground troops deploying.
Gen. Breedlove said the plan right now is for a buildup of land, air, and naval assets in the region to “build assurance for our easternmost allies,” and that it would mean troops from several nations, including potentially the US, heading to “front-line states.”
Breedlove’s comments at the conference centered around commercial satellite photos of Russian military bases in the westernmost portion of the country, which he presented as proof Russia has troops “ready to go” in the area.
He went on to say that Russia’s assets include “fixed and rotary wing aircraft,” unsurprising since a major Russian air force base is in the area near the Ukrainian border.
Has Breedlove ever considered a name change? Or maybe he's just Strangelove multiplied.
At a press conference, some reporter should ask him about his views on the purity of his bodily fluids.
OMG, the Ruskies have a military base IN Russia. This must mean war.
worse than than that, their military trains on their side of the border.
Please INVESTIGATE the story out there OF THE US BUILDING A MASSIVE ARMY BASE IN ROMANIA–BRIGADE SIZE –INFANTRY & ARMOR–ONLY–>>$180,000,000 AS AMERIKA COLLAPSES INTERNALLY IT IS DEVOURING SOVERIGN NATIONS–PLANETWIDE–IN ANTICIPATION OF???
Me thinks this guy IS SMOKIN wayyyyyyyyyyy too much WACKY TABAKI…GET HIM OUTTA THERE–BEFORE HE STARTS WW4..
No, if he was smoking "wacky tabaki" he'd be a reasoned normal human being instead of a warmongering idiot.
Where's the PROOF YOU BIG MOUTH WARMONGER..??
Show us the satellite photos–NOW–>> OR STFU–WARMONGER SLIME
How easy it is to create new new world war. Is it really that easy? Sending Terrorist to a Country which occupies parliament and government, claiming a new Terrorist government and asking the submitter of the terrorists for military help and occupation?
Ist high time of unconventional warfare ! You shoulld read how the US army does define it:

What NATO is doing is staging the environment where another "Gulf of Tonkin" event can occur ( or be manufactured) so an "accident" can set off a real shooting war. The people in charge are way out of control and saner heads, if they exist in the leadership circles, need to step forward and put a stop to this insanity. The idea that there will be winners in the next war is sheer hubristic stupidity…and arrogance.
The more Putin invades, the better from NATO's point of view. The NATO front lne runs from Narva in Estonia down to Romania's Black Sea coast and then around via Turkey to the borders of Georgia. If Putin were to grab the whole of Ukraine and/or Moldova, he would be stiing on that front line all the way down and would be much easier to attack than now. Breedlove's strategy thus makes sense as a military tactic.
Much easier to attack what? Ukraine? Poland? Romania? Germany? France? Ireland? Please explain this to us.
This is reoccupation of Europe, this time using US-friendly regimes in Baltics and Poland. The message is clear to Germany — stop trading or otherwise extending your ties with Russia and beyond, China, South Korea, Japan. Because these are all countries that charted Euroasian development that will be anchored on the transcontinental transit of goods. As Germans once believed, Europe without Russia is not a contintent, but an Asian Penninsula As the containers are getting ready to move accross Siberia, carrying Japanese, Korean, Chinese and other Pacific rim nations' goods — the idea that it can be stopped in Ukraine is geopolitically not possible.
Let the CONTAINER WARS begin!
It is no longer the question if US troops, naval or NATO forces are in Black Sea, they are already there, the Swedish, Danish and American mercenaries are all over Eastern Europe. We said it long time ago, Syrian war is about conquering the Middle East by US-NATO forces, Ukraine is about EU Neo fascism governments from Sweden to England to Turkey and is about Third World War, USG nor the European Union doesn't understand, nor interested in diplomacy, they have tested the blood in Balkan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and they are after Russian blood.
Breedlove is crazier than Curtis Lemay. Get him out of there.
That America started this is being ignored , it was America that paid for the overthrow of an elected Government and this isn't the first time that has happened, the Crimea has been Russian for how long and won wars to keep it! Stalin gave it to the Ukraine but then he expected the Ukraine to a member of the USSR for eternity, the Crimeans had a vote and seceded for all you Texans that's what you did with Mexico and threaten all the time to do to the US!
Ukraine is not a member of NATO so there are no automatic rights to go there, and I can tell you now if Russia sent troops to Mexico because of some diplomatic differences between Mexico and the US it would hit the fan! Just remember Russia does have the capability to make slag heaps of US cities, or does this General think that there is a high survivability factor! Remember China will respond as well, as will India and Pakistan! Although I suppose it will stop Global Warming and instill the other major Climate scenario of the Nuclear Winter!
Russia doesn't have to invade, all it has to do is turn the Gas off for non payment of supply, that is something the US does all the time it is called sanctions!
