In what could mark an escalation of tensions with the West, commercial satellite images suggest that Russia is moving a new generation of nuclear-capable missiles into Eastern Europe.

Russia appears to be preparing to permanently base its Iskander missile system in Kaliningrad, a sliver of territory it controls along the Baltic coast between Lithuania and Poland.

Reminds me of the way the disc jockey’s used to do it when I was a kid.

“And the hits on Russia just keep on coming.......”

Can’t blame the Russians much. Europe will soon be controlled by anti Russian radical Sunni Islamists.

Putin is acting to protect Russia from the demographic warfare of Muslim refugees created by Barrack Hussein Obama.

There is much for Trump and Putin to UNDO.

Probably coordinated this with Donald Trump when Russia threw the election to him.

What is Russia trying to do?Start a new arms race with medium range ballistic missiles in Weatern Europe.

I thought we went through that once during Ronald Reagans term when we removed our rockets.Maybe it’s time to put some new hypersonic missiles in there.

It’s time Russia learns that it just can’t through its weapons where it wishes.Otherwise NATO will have to respond in kind.

Russia is the only one trying to limit the Islamic invasion. Everyone else has the welcome mat out and their country’s virgins lined up with welcome baskets full of goodies.

Nobody talks about the seven bridges of Kaliningrad.

From Wikipedia:

The Seven Bridges of Königsberg is a historically notable problem in mathematics. Its negative resolution by Leonhard Euler in 1736 laid the foundations of graph theory and prefigured the idea of topology.[1]

The city of Königsberg in Prussia (now Kaliningrad, Russia) was set on both sides of the Pregel River, and included two large islands which were connected to each other and the mainland by seven bridges. The problem was to devise a walk through the city that would cross each bridge once and only once, with the provisos that: the islands could only be reached by the bridges and every bridge once accessed must be crossed to its other end. The starting and ending points of the walk need not be the same.

Euler proved that the problem has no solution. The difficulty was the development of a technique of analysis and of subsequent tests that established this assertion with mathematical rigor.

Eastern Europe? That’s a Cold War term when there used to be the Warsaw Pact.

The Russians have had Iskanders in that area FOR YEARS.
So why is NPR suddenly so interested?

Why, to pimp the “EVIL RUSSIANS STOLE HILLARY’S ELECTION!!” so Democrats can stay out of jail meme, of course.
