The Kremlin said on Thursday it was concerned by what it described as a U.S. military build-up in Poland, saying the move represented a threat to its national security.
Addressing reporters on a conference call, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia regarded the move as an aggressive step along its borders.
LOL...Democrat? Republican? LOL!! Odumbass is a globalist stooge. Just like the distractions called democrat and republican.
exactly, There was a war going on, started by the globalist against Syria. The Syrian government asked Russia for help and Russia is helping. The invading government in this case is NOT Russia.
Putin’s Russia is an economically bankrupt regional power.
Good thing Russia borders the EU- a self-styled “superpower” with an economy many times the size of Russia - and not the US or this would really be our business.
If Merkel and Putin want to fight WW3 over who gets to rob the Ukraine they can be my guest. Two world wars and one cold war to “save” thankless Europeans that hate and resent us was enough. We have no dog in this fight.
The BO admin must be desperate for this level of provocation...
...besides the US has lost its sustainment ability under this traitorous administration. All those soldiers would be doomed if events went hot.
And when Bush left office the Russians were our allies against the Global war on terror.
We owe this to the only President that ALL previous standards of excellence were lowered or removed to accommodate his presence to any position of trust or responsibility.
God help us.
> The only portion of Russia that borders Poland is the enclave of Kaliningrad unless the spokesman did a Freudian slip and consider Beylorussis and Ukraine sill part of Russia proper.
Both Beylorussia and the Ukraine are part of the Russia sphere of influence. Russia has warned us for sometime that adding the Ukraine to NATO would result in a Russian invasion. It wouldn’t shock me if Obama added the Ukraine to NATO on January 19th just to kick that war off.
Poland on the other hand is firmly part of the west and Russia should butt out. Putin is gearing up to challenge Trump hard and Trump’s going to have to slap him down when he pushes beyond the traditional Russian sphere of influence. Alpha males challenge each other and I think we’ll find that Trump has balls of steel.
Same difference
This was announced in March last year. Nobody thought it a provocation then. Some people wrongly think it was a heat of the moment decision related to Trump victory.
