Most of the pressure for additional US deployments recently have centered around nations that share a border with the Ukraine, with nations like Poland and Latvia arguing for “protection” while eying the presumptive aid increases that would come with US deployments.
Not to be outdone, Romania is now joining the call for a “long-term US presence,” saying it would promote stability throughout the Black Sea region after the recent annexation of Crimea. There are already 1,600 US troops in Romania on a temporary basis.
Romania’s own justification for being “at risk” makes no more sense than any other NATO member nation, and in addition to bordering Ukraine they are hyping the fact that they border Moldova.
Moldova isn’t at war with Russia either, but Romania pushed the idea that after the Ukraine war everyone in NATO is predicting, Russia might conceivably hit Moldova.
Of course they do..They want the dollar$ and the green card to invade amerika by the multi-thousands.btw—>>.Isn't Romania a hotbed of aids? US STAY THE F OUT OF ROMANIA..PERIOD
No more sense but no less sense either. Having morphed into a Kaddafi-like political clown, nobody really knows what Putin will do so all options have to be covered. As the self-appointed lord high protector of all the Russians, he might conceivable attack Estonia or Latvia. He also might occupy all of Ukraine, which put him on Poland's border, or just the south of it so as to reach Transnistria. At that point, he might attack Moldova and then he's right on Romania's border. You don't wait until the burglar is standing in your living room to take precautions to prevent burglaries!
No more sense but no less sense either. Having morphed into Kaddafi-like political clowns, nobody really knows what Obama/Prince Ketchup will do, so all options have to be covered. As the self-appointed lord high protectors of all the world, they might conceivably attack anywhere. They also might occupy all of Ukraine, which puts them on many borders, or just the south of it so as to reach the Mediterranean. Oh wait, they already are there. At that point, he might attack parts of Africa and then they're right on many borders. Oh wait, they've already done that too. Good thing they're only promoting Deeeeee….mocracy and not waiting until the enemy is standing in the living room to take precautions to prevent wars!
The USg has spawned a warmongers wet dream…in the Balkans, eastern Europe and the middle east…and it's all going out of control. At the current pace and downward direction, the unavoidable global conflict cannot be stopped. And this time the US mainland will most likely not be immune…and boy, are the complacent citizens totally unprepared.
…..For a "Rude Awakening."
@Mike – Too late… US is already in… And no… Romania is not a hotbed of aids. You need to read more and inform yourself. BTW… Can you point Romania on the map ? I doubt it….
Something is fishy. The US made sure his color revolutions would elect puppet governments so that in cases like these they'd start howling for more enslavement.
The US missiles in Romania and Poland are part of a Disarming First Strike Capability. Missile engineer Bob Aldridge -www.plrc.org: "Whether they are on ships or land, they are still a necessary component for an unanswerable first strike." This leads to Launch On Warning, probably by 2017 and Suicide by mistake. If they accepted MAD, we could have been here some 50 years more. Bloody fools in the Pentagon !
