President Trump says he wants the US to have better relations with Russia and to halt military operations against Muslim countries. But he is being undermined by the Pentagon.
The commander of US forces in Europe, General Ben Hodges, has lined up tanks on Poland’s border with Russia and fired salvos that the general says are a message to Russia, not a training exercise.
How is Trump going to normalize relations with Russia when the commander of US forces in Europe is threatening Russia with words and deeds?
The Pentagon has also sent armored vehicles to “moderate rebels” in Syria, according to Penagon spokesman Col. John Dorrian. Unable to prevent Russia and Syria from winning the war against ISIS, the Pentagon is busy at work derailing the peace negotiations.
The military/security complex is using its puppets-on-a-string in the House and Senate to generate renewed conflict with Iran and to continue threats against China. Clearly, Trump is not in control of the most important part of his agenda—peace with the thermo-nuclear powers and cessation of interference in the affairs of other countries.

Obozo ordered those tanks to Poland or did we forget that already?
If there are generals who are political hacks they will be gone soon just ask Mattis
Paul Craig Roberts-—”Clearly, Trump is not in control of the most important part of his agenda...”
If I remember correctly, this guy was a “never Trumper” from the get go...
Read the article’s comments. Demented Jew-haters and anti-USA creeps.
There is some kind of jihadi lovin’ network amongst the CIA, State, Juan and Linda, and the Pentagon. It needs to be identified and cut out.
Not *just* the Pentagon, but the entirety of the Federal Bureaucracy.
Don’t you mean Oberfurher Bannon? Evil nazi? These people are unbelievable. Apparently somebody is leaking info from a lot of places. Hopefully the moles are quickly ferreted out and have to pay the price. Probably a few folks on here who know what it’s like to have subordinates attempt to undermine you.
Seems like “fake news” designed to place doubt about the military’s support for President Trump.
By the way your premise is a lie but nice try. Pick up the phone Alex wants to talk
These were likely standing orders from Obama. Trump does need to set new policy.
The commander of US forces in Europe, General Ben Hodges, has lined up tanks on Poland’s border with Russia and fired salvos that the general says are a message to Russia, not a training exercise.
Is the general planning on reenacting Operation Barbarossa? That worked out well.
“Probably a few folks on here who know what it’s like to have subordinates attempt to undermine you.”
Absolutely.
OH, come on.
My nephew is in Poland with that group. They were ordered there by 0bama way back in 2015. You can’t turn around a Brigade and send them home within 2 weeks.
I disagree. They have both fake and real news. You have to sniff pretty carefully, though.
And, the stenchification continues. You have been stenchified.
I call BS on this article for probably not having the full picture. Whenever you do a military training exercise such as is happening in Central Europe right now you don’t just “stand down” super fast and thus waste all the experience & lessons learned that the soldiers & support staff in the Units (and their support Units) involved are going through as part of the process. It would waste tens of millions of dollars to just abandon the exercises going on and severely harm morale for those involved.
Trump has just been President for 2 weeks now. His SecDef has just been in place for 1 week now. The last thing a SecDef should do when they get started is make drastic cuts to research/development/training activities in-process.
Excuse me while I discount this moron.
>>The commander of US forces in Europe, General Ben Hodges, has lined up tanks on Poland’s border with Russia
Poland does not share a border with Russia.
Yes, they were deployed based on the #fakenews that Russia "hacked" the election. Obama trying to put Trump in a box.
