CNN ^ | 10/18/2016 | Jamie Crawford

Norway may soon host a rotational force of US Marines -- a move that could send a chill down Russian President Vladimir Putin's spine.

The American request, confirmed in a statement from the commanding officer of Marine forces in Europe, comes as tensions between the US and Russia are increasing amid the humanitarian disaster in Syria and US assertions of Russian involvement in cyber hacks on American political organizations and individuals.

Putin, the Democrats, and the old mainline Republicans have been wanting this to happen. This solidifies everyone's power base. I sure hope they can pull this back from brink before full blown World War III starts bullets flying. But I don't think anyone in power wants to.

There is some irony in the fact that a segment of the FReeper population likes to crow about Putin’s “chess” moves, but likes to disparage ours.

The Democrats goal of starting a ground war with Russia is craziness. And the WH blaming inside DNC leaks of the election on the Russians? They are going to take us to war and kill millions of people to hide their crimes. Millions of regular middle class Americans will die, so the Democrats can hide their sins

The democrats have no problems with mass slaughter. Anything and anyone sacrificed for total power is their way.

Why would Putin want this?

He gets his way in Syria with a Trump win and I know that’s not good but it’s not as bad as fighting WWIII over ####ig muslims.

I have to disagree.

Let's just be thankful the Greatest Generation isn't around to see it.

Imagine what Desmond Doss would have thought, watching USN detainees snivelling like babies after ONLY ONE DAY in the hands of the Iranians?

The MARINES probably didn’t seek this.
The Russians are not going to be very terrified by it.
It has been mostly Obama/HilLIARy/Kerry that have been doing the provocations and threats, not Russia/Putin.

Three obvious lies or misrepresentations in the article’s first two sentences, I quit reading it. ‘Among the calamities of war may be jointly numbered the diminution of the love of truth, by the falsehoods which interest dictates and credulity encourages.’ (Samuel Johnson,The Idler, 1758)

ps: SorozNazi has been pulling his puppets’ strings (Obama/HilLIARY/Kerry) for several years trying to provoke war with Russia, a country that logically could be a very good ally against our IslamoNazi enemy.

Agreed. Putin knows what the US has been doing to other countries, and he realized what Obama was doing by opening up fracking and giving away drilling permits everywhere in the US starting in 2009. Once the glut in oil started the price plunged and hurt the Russia economy badly. Obama was trying to collapse Russia in an economic war. Russia retooled and came out of it, but it was an act of war by Obama. Hillary made things worse in Ukraine, and now Obama is getting ready for the ground war with Russia. This is how far they will go to hide their sins. They will take the US into a nuclear war with Russia just to create a diversion, killing millions

What’s our chess move? The “arab spring”?

arming radicals who we call “moderates”?

having our military equipment abandoned and stolen by ISIS?

Getting rid of dictators who kept a lid on the muzzies?

I dont give a #### about that chess nonsense, but one has to be blind to not see CNN is reporting this because it was the narrative they were told to report.

Putin is REALLY dangerous and he and Trump are BFFs!!!!

Get the #### out of here.

The Dems will be quite upset if a reindeer gets injured by a Marine in Norway though, if a Marine gets harmed——no biggie to them.

All surviving dems from the nuclear action will have to be found and punished assuming anyone else is around to do it.

If we are blown away I guess it would be fitting the surviving dems will have a radioactive barren wasteland with nothing but ruin.
