U.S. tanks roll into Germany to protect against potential Russian invasion [nato war games]

NORTHERN GERMANY -- U.S. Tanks rolled into Germany this weekend.

The deployment -- which also includes 3,500 U.S. Troops -- is to protect Eastern Europe against a potential Russian invasion.'

In the dock area of the German city of Bremerhaven all around is American military hardware just off the boat -- everything from Humvees to tanks. '  The official name for this display of military muscle is Operation Atlantic Resolve. '  Its purpose is to reassure America’s nervous European allies that the U.S. military will stand with them against any aggressive moves by Russia. Moves, like the 2014 invasion of Crimea, when Russian troops arrived in what had been Ukraine -- and seized it for the Kremlin.

WTF is Obama doing?

His administration has been drastically reducing the size of the military and has been reducing the defense of Europe.

His administration has been encouraging Muslim terrorists to invade Europe.

Now he is sending 3,500 troops to Eastern Europe for no logical purpose.

These few troops are certainly unable to prevent a Soviet invasion if that were going to happen. And why tell the media exactly what he is doing and exactly where the troops going to be stationed?

This reminds me of the movie Wag the Dog combined with Obama's actions in Libya.

Something is very wrong here.

Obama is enraged that his chosen successor failed to win a rigged election.
So he is trying to foment war.

“So he is trying to foment war.”

That’s because he’s stupid... Russia is going to laugh at him. Sooo pathetic.

I honestly believe that war with Russia was already planned on before the election.

All kinds of problems are loaded up and reaching critical stage in both the EU and US. The left actually believes its own bull***t and wanted a shooting war with non-muslims that could “wag the dog” and keep people distracted.

And the balls-free military leadership will not tell him it is a fool’s errand to do this.

This is a two-pronged propaganda operation. Domestically, it reinforces the stupid Russia hacked the election meme. In Germany, it provides a distraction from the ongoing Merkel-approved invasion, and gives German leftists someone else to hate for a while. Russia is just a stage prop in this.

I think that's a FReepergraphical error. Probably not used to writing 2017 yet.

The website says the story was posted 3 hours ago at the time I'm typing this.

Obama has lost his frikken mind, or what’s left of it.

Congress needs to stand up and yell about this stupid, wasteful, needless provocation.

Reading the comments, several noted that the article included a picture of a 109m Howitzer thinking it was a tank.

Yeah, there is another one from UPI. Apparently Obama is trying to start another war before he leaves office. This one with a nuclear power

US military personnel will be targeted by Muzzie Jihadist migrants any time they're off base. Expect the first attack on a US soldier within a month.

“I honestly believe that war with Russia was already planned on before the election.”

Russia is a nuclear power. I doubt that we have anything that would produce a high-order detonation. Starting a war with Russia would most likely spell the end of the US.
