NATO has announced the launching of their multinational Black Sea Force, based in Romania, and including an entire Romanian brigade of 4,000 troops. The force is there to target Russia in the Black Sea region.
Romania insisted the deployment is “not a threat to Russia” and that the purpose of having more troops there to “target” Russia is “peace, not war.” 900 US troops were deployed to Romania to participate in this force.
Since Russia doesn’t border NATO anywhere in the Black Sea region, the force appears to be largely pointless, except for additional grandstanding about NATO’s “readiness” for a fight with “invading” Russian forces, in an invasion that’s been predicted for years.
This appears to be an attempt to mirror the creation of NATO’s much larger Baltic forces, which are all deployed at or near the Russian frontier, and which see large western military contingents placed in tiny Baltic states.
Don’t those putting up these forces see that such provocarions will only make their Capital city a target, and not cause Russia to respond with Calvary and some single digit number of thousand infantry… Do all these backward military states think their kakie clad troops will counter cruise missiles & tactical nuclear devices….????? Like sending children to scare the panzers..
Who dreams up these petit provocations….????.?
“Who dreams up these petit provocations….????.?”
Idiot Zionist neocons, who else?
Calvary?
Sheesh, was that embarrassing. I had this project for Latin class. I had carefully drawn poster boards and in every instance used calvary rather than cavalry. I was mortified.
“Romania insisted the deployment is “not a threat to Russia” and that the
purpose of having more troops there to “target” Russia is “peace, not
war.”
Orwellianism at it’s best.
The bottom of the Black Sea is were NATO belongs.
NATO is obsolete, except for serving as a block to any chance of peace.
Who’s the aggressor? Just look at the language. NATO is targetting Russia.
And of course, we’ll all be told how awful and warlike Russia is if they take any move within their own country to defend themselves against this targetted agression. OMG, Russia has troops in their own country deployed to match the forces that NATO is putting on Russia’s borders. I can’t wait for the WaPo headline story .
Why isn’t the world sanctioning NATO?
One of the things that candidate Trump got right is that its a useless waste of money for the US to put money into NATO. All NATO wants to do is to start a war …. after of course crushing democracy in Europe
NATO the North American terrorist organization is threat to every one especially the USA With 900 terrorists in Romania You cant control the Black sea .. So what are they doing there ?
Ain’t the Black Sea a hellava long way from the North Atlantic?
“Since Russia doesn’t border NATO anywhere in the Black Sea region, the force appears to be largely pointless”
Upon the Black Sea lies the only port in all of Russia that doesn’t freeze. Winter is coming.
