NATO is the EU globalist/statist security force.
There’s about as much probability that Russia wants to invade Europe, as America will invade Canada.
But without an external enemy, NATO has no reason to exist or expand. Therefore Russia will always be “right on the verge of attacking”.
Simple as that.
The truth is that the EU backed by NATO is the expansionist and interventionist power, trying to undermine other countries. You can usually decide what leftists are doing by listening to what they accuse everyone else of.
I am sure there will be no secondary or tertiary effects from this...
I am sure Russia wouldn’t retaliate in kind...
Do these fools ever think about the consequences of their actions?
Ping
Uh, it doesn’t appear they want to take any actions and have the US do it for them so they can say “It wasn’t us. It was the US that did it.”.
Russia has an economy about like Mexico or Australia. Those kind of nations can be a threat to smaller nearby countries, but something like the EU? No way.
NATO will become the military arm of the European Caliphate. Maybe Russia won’t wait so long like it did with Nazi Germany.
They had eight years under Obama to get the job done on this front. I think Trump should just ignore it and say ain’t my problem. The previous people who now claim to be very concerned about this had a chance and they did nothing
Maybe general Fog should send an army of Rasmussens instead.
I’ve been to Moscow. Only five years ago. I’m sure nothing has changed. Those people can’t even get their prime city in order, much less manage an invasion of Europe.
I went to a tourist destination just outside of Moscow. Visitors had the choice of pooping in a hole in the ground, or paying a few rubles to use an overflowing port-o-let guarded by an elderly babushka. They don’t have rest stops or fast food joints. The first patch of forest outside the city limits (there is no suburbs there, it just ends) is where everyone stops, runs into the woods, and takes a dump. I know this because our tour bus broke down there and we got to watch it for a couple hours.
The food was crap. The International hotel warned us not to cross the street on account of packs of wild dogs (this in Moscow proper!) and everything there looks like it was cludged together by the lowest bidder. Every other truck on the highway is a sewage hauler.
The thought of them having their act together enough that they could invade Europe is laughable beyond words.
Oh yeah! Let’s start another cold ear. The last one was so costly it broke the Soviet Union. This one will probably break us.
What you said. I agree. Fearmongering has lost its charm.
A NATO with Turkey in it, must not expand.
I bet McCain is pushing for this.
Let Poland, Germany, and Ukraine worry about Ukraine.
Why do so many want to start a war with Russia???
Not a good idea at this point, at least until we can take out ISIS and build up our Military...
Not since they quit paying for them.
yup - this general is a neocon buffoon
Not going to happen.
