PRESIDENT Obama has deployed US special forces troops along Lithuania’s border with “aggressive” Russia.

Tensions between Washington and the Kremlin have reached Cold War levels amid reports Vladimir Putin is deploying nuke-ready missiles in the Russian province of Kaliningrad – which borders Poland, Belarus and Lithuania.

Putin’s fuse needs to only be 16 more days long.

Perhaps Trump will bring them home.

You’re welcome. Seems an increasing number of people on this site and elsewhere actually believe that that murderous thug, supporter of America’s enemies, KGB Putin, is a trusted friend. Thought it might be instructive to inform them that Trump-Pence-Sessions... do not think so. Unfortunately, some folks are just hopelessly stupid.

Sometimes I just think Obama wants to burn down the house before he leaves. But this one is a surprise.....didn’t Obama cancel the plans for a nuclear shield for Poland that had been promised by GWB? I have always believed that Obama was working, behind the scenes, WITH Putin. I am not ever sure who to believe these days.

Obama is more of a danger to the US than any other World leader right now.

Hopefully , we escape the next 16 days with little harm.

A casual view of NATO news from the last year shows a lot of NATO military exercises in the Baltics and Poland as well as the usual Russian counter activity.

I don’t have a problem with this. Kaliningrad is a fortress city and any Scenario of the Russians invading westward will involve a fight from Kaliningrad. On the other hand bringing the Baltic states into NATO was a bad idea. We can’t defend them and stationing a lot troops in them will result in Russian fears about a NATO invasion of Russia. We would have been much better off leaving them as Neutral buffer states between NATO and Russia.

Yeah he could cancel it, but in 16 days Trump could “uncancel” it. All that’s going on is “noise” & “posturing” by both Zero and the MSM. Zero is trying to stay “relevant” and stake out an unassailable (and profitable!) position as Rat “leader-spokesman”. The MSM is also but desperately trying to stay relevant and continue to be the “opinion maker/influencer” like they were in the past.

NATO - sends special forces to Russian border, while allowing 2 million muslim men in the back door.

NATO is simply another EU/Statist political organization. It is now defending the rapid social-engineering and cultural change of Western Europe.

Russia and the ChiComs have been staging annual joint war games since 2005 in obvious preparation for war with us and our allies.

What is the source for your contention that Russia move nukes into “the heart of Europe”?

Does Obama want to get us into a war with Russia? Is that what’s going on here?

Is he nuts?

Russia Ramping Up Military Drills to Cold War Levels, NATO Says

Feb 5, 2016 - FoxNews.com

Russia has stepped up its military maneuvers to a level unseen since the height of the Cold War, according to a new report released by NATO Thursday.

Jens Stoltenberg, the alliance's secretary general and author of the report, noted that Moscow has conducted at least 18 large-scale exercises over the past three years, "some of which have involved more than 100,000 troops."

Those exercises included several simulated nuclear attacks against NATO allies and partner nations ..."

Coward b*tch 0bama trying to act tough while one foot out the door. He’s such a turd! I’d absolutely love it if our military people sent to Lithuania would simply refuse to do his bidding and then ask President Trump for pardons if there are any repercussions for refusing to carry out Zero’s orders.

Send an unambiguous message that Zero will not be allowed to dump an unnecessary war (or battle or skirmish) on his successor as a poison pill.

Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to "show his manhood." The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further. "We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama's lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time," Trump said. ..."

Thanks for the 2014 Trump quotes, and I agree with them.

And moreover, it is Russia’s standing policy that if attack by a power (the US), even only using conventional arms, their response will include nukes ... so add nuclear war to the list ...

It begins by rebuilding our military. And the Russians and the Chinese have been making enormous investments in the military. We have the smallest Navy since 1916. We have the lowest number of troops since the end of the Second World War. We’ve got to work with Congress, and Donald Trump will, to rebuild our military and project American strength in the world.

Idiots in Congress wanted their first business to be 'abolishing an ethics committee'?

God help us.

The new Pentagon Social Experiment should be to see if the US Military can act like an organization designed to protect the United States...
