Russia and NATO haven’t had any joint meetings in nearly two years, but got together today, with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg saying it is important to keep the line of communications open. In practice, it was just an excuse for the US et al. to condemn Russia.
US officials are complaining about incidents in the Baltic Sea, claiming “Russian aggression” there, and in Ukraine, even though the Ukraine “war” they’ve been condemning Russia over has been in a state of ceasefire for well over a year.
Russia’s not to happy with those Baltic issues either, insisting the US was deliberately trying to intimidate Russia by parking destroyers off the coast of Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave, and flying spy planes around on the outskirts of Russian airspace.
The US is using that claims of “Russian aggression,” not backed by any practical things Russia’s done, to justify ever-growing military buildups around Eastern Europe, pre-positioning warships, planes, commandos, and armored vehicles around the area for a future war.
The US to condemn Russia at planned meeting. This is another example of why Trump is causing the antiwar movement to tread water with dog whistle politics when he condemns Nato. It’s just sad that it’s pretty obvious he can’t be stupid enough to not know that Nato is only the US’s legitimizer for it’s planned wars. All rational people who are tonedeaf to dog whistles understand it perfectly well.
Excuse me, but WHAT antiwar movement are you referring to? There hasn’t been an antiwar movement on US shores worth a damn since 2008. Once Obama got in office the ‘antiwar left’ really did leave, and they have no problem with Obama carpet bombing Libya, arming cannibal jihadi mercenaries in Syria, arming the Saudis to bomb Yemen and arming the neo-Nazi militias of the Ukraine to commit ethnic cleansing there.
Apparently if your president is brown then he gets a free pass to kill brown people – all the democrats agree…
Good luck Russia – you are dealing with slime.
These greedy idiots are going to get us all killed.
