Schemes that were only first publicly discussed last week, the US wasted no time today in announcing that they will in fact begin “prepositioning” large numbers of tanks and artillery along the Russian border to “reassure” their allies.
Secretary of Defense Ash Carter announced the decision today during a visit to the Estonian capital of Tallinn, saying the US didn’t want to send tanks to the area and that Russia had forced them to do so with its “effort to take the world backward in time.”
The US has been dramatically increasing its presence in Eastern Europe with several such programs, always trying to justify them as an attempt to forestall a Russian invasion of the region. Over a year into such predictions and no Russian movement in sight, they just keep escalating.
Russian officials condemned the planned deployments as the most aggressive NATO action along their border since the Cold War, and threatened to add to their own forces in the region in response.
Madness. Just who in sheol runs US foreign policy these days?
Israel.
President Obama
carrol price: and the defense industry profiteers. if history offers any justice, a court will one day try, convict, and hang the lot of them.
The Samatha Powers and Victoria Neulands.
Obama and his women.
But the world would be a more peaceful place with women holding high positions of power.
The white plantation masters pulling Oboomer's strings know damn well
Russia is (not) Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Yemen. These cowards (don't)
want a (real) war with the Bear. That will hurt their profit margin.
The USG's intention is to maintain its influence over the EU with
its military deployments to combat so-called Russian (aggression).
Also, the USG war profiteers can continue to peddle their arms
and squeeze every buck they can out of the taxpayers.
Guess we will have Russian tanks on the Mexican and Canadian borders soon. Right? After all….
Cui Bono? Anyone in our government leading the charge against such a profoundly stupid action?
Sadly, no…
There was a time when someone in the military would occasionally stop certain idiocies that the neocons dreamt up. Looks like those days are over and everyone in the Pentagon has cashed in their patriotism for a few bucks courtesy of those whose aim it is to destroy the country and much of the world.
As long as Putin keeps falling into the trap, NATO will keep setting it.
The financial masters want the Ukraine. They insist this will divert Russian attention and resources from ressponding in East Ukraine, etc. If you want to see the inner motivation, think Rothschild and Co. I agree that a side benefit is enhanced war spending, but the motivation is more complex.
I am waiting for the Russians to say if the US puts such things on their borders they will consider it an act of War! Israel would and the US Senate would most definitely say it remember what they did with the Cuban Missile Crisis even though it was the US that first put Medium range ballistic Nuclear weapons on the border of the USSR way back then!
Looks as though it is back to Cold War days then with US military buildup thousands of miles away from the US.
If I was Putin, I would be making a phone call to Havana.
So basically, what started as a US backed coup in Ukraine has escalated into definite intinidation on the Russian border.
What absolute madness.
Looks as though it is back to Cold War days then with US military buildup thousands of miles away from the US.
Correct. We need many more US bases overseas to keep those who hate us for our freedom from invading !
The best will be if Russia or China ever starts building up a military alliance in the Americas, and all the screaming and explanations from Washington about how they are "allowed" to do it on Russian border but Russia's not allowed to do it on US border.
If the “international community” is willing to allow Saudi Arabia to carpet bomb Yemen just to reinstall their fake-election President, then surely Russia would have no problem in sending a peace keeping force into Ukraine to overpower a fascist coup and give a duly elected President his rightful place in government. For with NATO protection such a fascist dictatorship could last for centuries.
Problem is, Putin with his $144 billion, he must do what is in the best interest of his wealth, which is to allow the capitalist greedy West to cannibalize what remains of Soviet Russia.
