I didn’t think they meant literally the old Cold War plans when Poland and East Germany was part of Russia’s Warsaw Pact alliance.
I interpreted it as saying that we were doing our due diligence and putting the Russia files on the work tables.
Saying the Pentagon is dusting off it’s NATO studies opposing the Russian threat, is not exactly complicated news, or something that the Russians needed to be told.
Are people here really surprised at this?
Well, My reply was to assure you that there are no old plans to dust..
The statement is what it is...Rhetorical warfare, if you will.
