What's with the knee-jerk ignorance Zippy? Take a look at a map again and see where the Baltic states are located, that place where Germany is sending troops and tanks. Oh that's right. It on Russia's border.
NATO Allies Preparing to Put Four Battalions at Eastern Border With Russia : http://www.wsj.com/articles/nato-all...sia-1461943315Western allies are preparing to put four battalions … in Poland and the Baltic countries … The U.S. is likely to provide two battalions, while Germany and Britain would likely provide a battalion each …
The participation of a sizable German force is particularly important … Chancellor Angela Merkel and her top officials have been making the case for more German engagement … German officials said Friday they were considering plans ahead of a NATO summit in Warsaw in July to lead a battalion to be based in Lithuania, but a final decision hadn’t been reached. “We are currently reviewing how we can continue or strengthen our engagement” on the alliance’s eastern periphery, Ms. Merkel said Friday. …
NATO Prepares Four Battalions for Russian Border : http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/arch...ussian-border/
http://www.ronpaullibertyreport.com/...russian-borderNATO is preparing to deploy four battalions … to Russia's western border. [Baltic states of Lativa, Estonia and Lithuania] . …. with one each coming from the UK and Germany.” …
The US deputy secretary of defense explained in Brussels that the US must send these thousands of troops thousands of miles from the US because Russia is conducting military exercises on its own soil and the US finds that intolerable. …
Here is Washington logic: Russian military exercises inside Russia are "extraordinarily provocative" but somehow stationing thousands of US troops on the border with Russia is not at all provocative. Just like US military exercises in the Baltic sea some 50 miles from Russian soil is not at all provocative, but Russian military plane fly-overs in response to these US military exercises is "reckless and provocative." And just like the US flying a spy plane over highly-secret Russian military facilities on the Kamchatka peninsula is not at all provocative, but when the spy plane is buzzed by another Russian fighter, US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter warns, "This is unprofessional. This is dangerous. This could lead somewhere."
It's never provocative when Washington's interventionists do it.
And this from a site Zippy can really appreciate ..
German army assumes leadership of military buildup against Russia
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/201.../nato-a30.htmlGerman government plans to deploy troops to Lithuania. An entire NATO battalion could be stationed in the country under German command ... Similar initiatives by the NATO military alliance are planned in other Eastern European NATO member-states. …
Such plans would breach the NATO-Russia agreement of 1997, under which NATO excluded the stationing of “additional substantial combat forces permanently” in the former Warsaw Pact states. …
The offensive operation is to be approved at the upcoming NATO summit in Warsaw in July, according to the German Defence Ministry. …
The president of the German Federal Academy for Security Policy, Karl-Heinz Kamp, wrote in a working paper for the summit … Kamp recommended “a new nuclear strategic consensus” by the alliance. … It was necessary to abandon the idea of a nuclear-free world, according to Kamp, and instead invest in rapid response American nuclear bombs, as well as strengthening “exercise activities in the nuclear sector.” …
The German government’s plans are connected to such discussions and represent an enormous escalation of the confrontation with Russia, with incalculable consequences. …
Germany intends to provide more than half of the soldiers for the unit. Together with the planned stationing of troops in Eastern Europe, 10,000 soldiers will be prepared to intervene against Russia, including some 3,000 from Germany.
