Russia is reportedly deploying nuke-ready missiles in the province of Kaliningrad which borders Lithuania
PRESIDENT Obama has deployed US special forces troops along Lithuania’s border with “aggressive” Russia.
Tensions between Washington and the Kremlin have reached Cold War levels amid reports Vladimir Putin is deploying nuke-ready missiles in the Russian province of Kaliningrad – which borders Poland, Belarus and Lithuania.
And Lithuanian Defence Ministry spokeswoman Asta Galdikaite confirmed America has offered additional military support following Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
She said: “The United States was the first to offer additional safety assurance measures to the Baltic countries following the deterioration of the security situation in the region after the annexation of the Crimea.”
She added: “US Special Operations Forces presence in Lithuania is one of the deterrents” against military threats by Putin’s aggressive regime, reports the Express.
US military chief General Raymond T Thomas told the New York Times that America has a “persistent” presence in the Baltic states bordering Russia.
He added that many former Eastern Bloc countries are “scared to death” of Russia and the vulnerable states are “desperate” for America’s leadership.
The US and its Nato allies will send battalions of up to 1,200 to each of the three Baltic states – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia – and Poland by spring this year, reports the New York Times.
Lithuania’s foreign minister Linas Linkevicius confirmed Russia’s military activity in Kaliningrad is terrifying the region.
He said: “Iskander missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads have been deployed. There are S-400 missiles and modernised jets.”

These Globalist are certified crazy, and it would CERTAINLY start a Civil War here.
“These Globalist are certified crazy, and it would CERTAINLY start a Civil War here.”
The globalists would love to start a civil war here. The globalists want power; anything else, such as peace and prosperity, means nothing to them.
I actually think it is a clever ploy by Putin to make Obama look even smaller
The islamonazis and SorozNazi would just love to provoke a big war between the two largest nations that stand in their way of world domination.
It’s his stupid way of “backing up” his claim that the Russians hacked the election. Gotta make it stick somehow, I guess...
“... As Nato Is Poised To Strike”
NATO isn’t poised to do a dang thing. Without the US providing the bulk of the combat forces, both air and ground, nearly all the logistics and transport, NATO is completely and utterly useless.
NATO only exists so that parasite ‘allies’ can pretend they matter too.
Isn’t starting a war unnecessarily considered treason?
Obama is speaking right now and he’s wearing a medal!

Has he gone full Ghadaffi?
Did i miss the reason Putin is doing this?
Unfortunately US SF are not even a speed bump for the Russian hordes.
I’d like to believe that the men at the tip of the spear are wiser than the moron that sent them there.
Hard to believe that in Benghazi when there were men ACTUALLY UNDER FIRE FOR HOURS, the resident was sleeping. For this, he’s stirring the pot. Truly insane.
I guess I’ll go read Sum Of All Fears...
I think so.
Seems the Globalist next move will be to star a war with Russian and accuse Trump of being a Russian Operative.
If the Globalist are THIS STUPID, then we will be going into a Civil War.
Hopefully, the Special Forces will IGNORE any type of order.
As we learned at Nuremberg “I was just following orders” is no excuse.
Special Forces will initially just be gathering intel to assess the situation. It won’t escalate unless they detect radar anomalies, etc. The decision-making will be out of Obama’s hands fortunately.
“Did i miss the reason Putin is doing this?”
It does not seen that Lithuania poses a threat to Russia, so it cannot be seen as a defensive action by Putin.
However, being that Russia has a basket case economy with a plummeting GDP, Russia might have some expansionist desires.
You are exactly right!
I took a still, and blew up the medal:
Obama is quietly praying that 99 red balloons go by...
