A major NATO summit is set to begin later this week in Warsaw, and while the plan was to spend the whole time harping on about “Russian aggression” and making more plans to add more ground troops to the Baltic states.
Then the Brexit happened, and as with everyone else, that’s all a lot of summit goers want to talk about these days. Britain’s referendum was on leaving the EU, and not NATO, but that doesn’t mean a lot of officials aren’t predicting the move weakening the alliance, at least so far as joint NATO-EU operations go.
But with constant predictions from US officials of an imminent Russian invasion of Eastern Europe never panning out, the Obama Administration and other hawks on the Russia issue are looking to shift the focus of the summit back.
The plan right now is for around 4,000 more troops to head to the Baltic states in four battalions, with the US, Britain, Canada, and Germany providing them. Canada’s involvement, recently confirmed, may well add to the final numbers, with the US previously tapped to handle two battalions by itself, and the White House is as eager as ever to focus on Russia.
“We have very little time to decide when we face a possible attack,” insisted NATO Secretary-General Jens Stollenberg. The reality, however, is that the “possible attack” is simply something to justify military expansion in the region, with NATO military chief Gen. Petr Pavel confirming late last month that there is no real threat of a Russian invasion, and that the deployments are a “political decision.”
“…Secretary-General Jens Stollenberg…”
His name is Stoltenberg. You should know that by now – you’ve used it often enough. But then perhaps it doesn’t matter…

July 6, 2016 Merkel Urged to Temper NATO’s Belligerence
U.S. intelligence veterans are calling on German Chancellor Merkel to bring a needed dose of realism and restraint to the upcoming NATO conference, which risks escalating the dangerous new Cold War with Russia.

After 15 years of, “Lookee, fella! Sic ’em!” I would hope it would be almost impossible for the USA to get NATO to ‘focus’ on anything else, let alone another hallucination.
As a Canadian Citizen, I demand to know who told our Government to send troops to this area. I also want to know why my Country bombed the crap out of Libya, a Country that did us no wrong and allowed the Leader, Gaddafi to be be so Barbarically tortured and Murdered. I am sick of what has become of my once great Nation known for its Peacemaking legacy, not for it’s now War-mongering stance.
Trudeau is no different than that Zionist ass-licker, Harper. I am fuming at how my Country now licks the boots of ISIS-RA-EL, The Pentagram and the fascist scum Pedophiles and Satanic Perverts in NATO.
Wake up Canada!!!! Your Country has been usurped by a Foreign Power and you have voted in another slate of Zionist-controlled Puppets.
I hang my head in shame.
