Full Title:

WAR GAMES US sends special forces to RUSSIAN BORDER as NATO is poised to strike back against Vladimir Putin’s ‘aggression’

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 invasion 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.

Our military will not obey him. They are only going through the motions.

Nobody, NOBODY in the military salutes that SOB without thinking what a worthless, incompetent, ill-educated quota baby he is.

The US military needs to take Obama, McCain, and Graham into “protective custody” until further notice.

Obozo needs that war with Russia to put Trump in the box. But, Putin is way too smart for this. Obozo will end up with shit on his shoes and a broken NATO.

The country whose military is sent 3,000+ miles from home to play war games on the border of the other might be the one termed “ aggressive

What if putin made cuba one if Russia’s republics and then started working his way up central America?

I was stationed in Germany some in the early 70s and I vividly remember the “Reforger” exercises each year. Somehow, though, I get the feeling that this stuff is just show for the gullible American public, rather than convincing the USSR (now Russians) that “you’d best be not thinking that.”

I have no confidence or support for NATO, nor do I have any confidence or support of Obama’s control of the military and what they do now for this limited “lame duck” period.

Tilsit where the cheese comes from is right on the border. The Russians call it Sovetsk.

My biggest concern is that we are not out of the woods until January 20th, and the risk only increases with the passing of each day.

Will the military please arrest this demonic imbecile before he starts a nuclear war with Russia? With his narcissistic scorched earth policy, he wants the whole world to pay for his historic failure. He’s totally psychotic and an imminent threat to world stability!

And, NATO isn’t “poised” to do jack squat except throw bananas and cheese at the Russians. It always falls on the back of the US military to settle international conflicts, and even more so in this case because all Russia has to do is turn off the natural gas spigot in Ukraine, and all of Europe will freeze to death this winter. Who’s kidding who?

We could have a problem here since Russia does have a history of murdering people on the Lithuanian border.

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.

I think back to all the Democrats who were pushing the Détente and Nuclear Freeze stuff in the 80’s. EEEEEEEEVIL Ronald Reagan going to destroy the world and all that.

Democrats are full of crap.

They have no core position on anything. It’s just what they see as being to their political advantage at any moment in time.
