NATO military commanders have been bandying about a handful of satellite images of Russian troops near the Ukrainian border, claiming they are proof of an imminent military invasion of their western neighbor.
Russian officials have confirmed the photos are authentic, but the narrative is not, saying the images were actually taken back in August of 2013 during the Combat Commonwealth military drills.
The drills were held along the Ukrainian border, but embarrassingly enough actually included Ukrainian troops, as Ukraine and Russia were on good terms before last month’s regime change.
Russia is currently holding military drills near Ukraine with around 40,000 troops, though NBC reporters in the area reported they were virtually all ground troops and armored personnel carriers, and not the balanced invasion force NATO is portraying.
NATO is showing its age – and senility. Longing for, and hallucinating about, the good old cold war days when they were relevant and full of vigor.
One of the best brief comments I've ever read. I'd give you a handful of thumbs up if I could!
The way it sounds in this article, we might need a master shrink to explain the self-sabotage. …I'm not sure if age explains it.
And if NATO can get a full blown war started, some of them generals can realize their wet dreams of being famous in history.
Everything coming out or presented as a document by NATO and USG is false, or faked to fool their people for yet another war.
The Syrian war, they are losing, in Afghanistan they are getting nowhere, so, they have too save some of their ugly political face for a day before it blows up in their face as a lie. This has been the EU Neo liberal fascist hand in hand with Neo, old and ok’d fascism politics toward their own nations and now Ukrainian-Syrian people. From French social (liberal) democrats to Swedish Neo fascist regime, the guardian of aristocrats and Swedish billioners-Wallenberg-bankers to that Turkish Islamist regime to Anders Fogh Rasmussen the head of NATO from Denmark are nothing but bunch of lier, a bunch of deceitful with a wicked plan for people of Eastern Europe.
There's simply no end to the lies that Western leaders and NATO generals are apparently willing to tell to stir up the long dead ashes of the Cold War. As useful as the War on Terror may have been for creating police states in the US, UK and elsewhere, it simply hasn't been as profitable for war industries, bankers, and their political and military allies. Twenty five years ago, when the Soviet Union collapsed, the internet was being created from ARPANET: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET Alternative media hardly existed, and the Cold War was heavily dependent upon propaganda and lies that were supported by a compliant MSM. It's not hard to imagine that this kind of exposure of the crude lies being told to rekindle the Cold War will soon bring new calls for censorship of the internet.
You'd hear about this if American media weren't totally in service to those in power. The US government, its agencies and arms are simply never depicted as klutzsy as this. I continue to wait patiently for the day when the American people deep-six our ruling coterie, dispossess them of their property and try them in peoples' courts.
Of course if it wasn't for the regime change dollars coming from the United States originally there would be none of this malarkey!
The US and EU have funded the overthrowing of a democratically elected Government, so that they can sit Nuclear weapons on the Russian border, Last time they did that in Turkey under IKE there was a response in kind, Nuclear weapons in Cuba remember the Cuban Missile crisis and how it was solved, the US withdrawing the nukes off the Russian Border!
The stupid Generals again are up to their old tricks again, but NOW there is the Buffer of Ukraine (they hope) Poland and the Baltic states between Germany and Russia so they hope to keep a war on foreign soil! Sadly they have forgotten that Russia still has lots of Nukes and plenty of missiles, remembering that there was so many they could destroy the world many times over if just 50 of them work America will be a slag heap! Don't think that China will not send theirs off as well, that's another 24 rockets with mirv capability Japan would be on her list, then we would see India and Pakistan cook theirs at each other! Remember that we are nearing that retaliate at first missile scenario said to be enabled in 2014 or15, wait for the false flag rocket! After that you will not have to wait long either you will be wiped out in the local initial nuclear blast or the radioactivity or Nuclear winter will get you!
As anndoc perceptively points out this is all about relevancy. The US has been unsuccessfully pressuring the NATO members to pony up and increase their defense spending, especially for NATO support activities. Dusting off the Cold War ghosts and "bending" the truth is all part of the process. Part of their getting "caught" altering the narrative about the photos might have to do with being old school and forgetting the pervasiveness and speed of "fact-checkers" embedded in the Intertubes. They just didn't think anyone would actually call their bluff and most likely figured they could deflect anything the Russians said as something they have always done – nobody believes anything the Russians say, right?
Except the US/NATO have been caught lying so often that they are the ones nobody believes now.

Thanks for the mention.
As well as pining for a cage around Russia – as a prelude to regime change and looting of resources- the US has at or near the top of its wish-list the fedreralisation of Europe. Pesky EU members clinging to their individual sovereignty and not enough guns and other European nations all the way to Turkey not joining the EU so they too can be politically castrated in time is spoiling the whole New World Order and American Century scenario.
The EU's reaction – Germany's in particular – to the TTIP/TAFTA pressure, NSA and the push to deflect what little resources remain after bailing out US based banks to defense spending is a watershed moment. Europeans need to clue themselves up and make their individual and still mildly independent governments aware of their opposition. This latter is most important in the UK whose governments have been a long serving 5th column and dogsbody for the US.
NATO military officer ranks are no more than fairies all dressed in brilliant gowns waiting for some macho american to ask them to the ball.
The lower ranks balls are in the showers at gradescools.
NATO is dressed and has some second faulted jewelry or US modern bangles and beads but they cannot find a ballroom as large as the old WWII grand ballrooms to dance at.
They now can strut and hope for the pre nuke days of flying banners and pilots wearing scarves as they trample and kill in the millions, Ah those bygone days of Holy Nationalism.
THE us is trying to remove the thoudands of nuclesr warheadd tjat they stored in Nrthrtlandd simve 1950’s as if afraid some NATO NUT might use one as Russians overrun their army.
Be nice to u-tubeband readntwitters of men dying and push pins in maps ; Who cares if a pin is 10-30 or more thousands dead each time it moves.
LET THE DANCE OF DEATH AND GLORY BEGIN.
In the run up to the attack on Libya, BBC showed a video claiming it was of demonstrators in Libya —
The video was of crowds in India.

Well there's an obvious interpretation of why the US isn't sharing its intel on russian military movements, one that confirms the russian version of the facts.
Still, two things
– the visit of the nbc reporters was two weeks ago.
– let's assume Russia has no plans to do any preemptive attacks to take Donetsk and Luhansk. and are not trying to raise the pressure by stationing a lot of troops nearby. That doesn't mean they're not willing to go to war if the east goes hm, south.
