Russia is building an “arc of steel” from the Arctic to the Mediterranean Sea said a NATO commander, in the same vein as Winston Churchill’s Iron Curtain metaphor.

Navy Adm. Mark Ferguson, who commands NATO’s Allied Joint Force Command in Naples, Italy, and U.S. Navy forces in Europe and Africa, spoke at the Atlantic Council here.

The alliance also faces threats from the south, and both threats argue for more attention from the United States, NATO members and allied states, Ferguson said.

You know what we need? More transgender troops—with sex change operations funded by the taxpayer. Yeah...that’s the ticket.

I think the ‘Arc of Steel’ is actually a heap of bullsquirt from a NATO bureaucrat.

Yeah? Well, we'll see how that Arc of Steel stands up to Preezy Obola's Line of Red Chalk. Don't make Obola call his bluff, Pooty Poot.

You've been warned.

more homosexuals and cross dressers in the military and benefits for them.

What a pathetic excuse for a human being he is and to think millions of dopes voted for this fairy.

So what's Obama's response?

Bath House has no use for strategy, other than figuring out on what new golf course to visit or what new waffle joint to feed his waffle hole with.

Putin just cannot believe his good luck with Bath House. Putin has over a year to push the homo around, and he'd be stupid not to. Same goes for the red Chinese.

The next year will be a wild ride.

And all of this is courtesy of the detached, stupid, bread-and-circuses American voter.

It’s difficult for some on this forum to accept, but we and Russia are moving in opposite directions... Which will God bless do you think?

No , he said “We will MARRY you” because in his era, Russia was very progressive and backed gay marriage. Just not in Russia.

And in 2015, the USSC made his dreams of gay marriage come true.

You forgot to include Moose Limbs and illegal aliens. Remember, we have to be inclusive.

Before he says anything else, let him explain how it came about that NATO bombed Libya back to the stone age and left it to vultures to pick over.
