NORTHERN GERMANY -- U.S. Tanks rolled into Germany this weekend.

The deployment -- which also includes 3,500 U.S. Troops -- is to protect Eastern Europe against a potential Russian invasion.'

In the dock area of the German city of Bremerhaven all around is American military hardware just off the boat -- everything from Humvees to tanks. '  The official name for this display of military muscle is Operation Atlantic Resolve. '  Its purpose is to reassure America’s nervous European allies that the U.S. military will stand with them against any aggressive moves by Russia. Moves, like the 2014 invasion of Crimea, when Russian troops arrived in what had been Ukraine -- and seized it for the Kremlin.

“It’s dated a year ago.”

My mistake.

It came out today. It should read January 8, 2017.

Russia is the thorn in the side of the globalist, statist, social-engineering left.

They are happy to allow 1-2 million Muslims invade through the South, but their main worry is over white, Christian Russia in the East.

the situation is completely nuts.

I doubt it would have gotten to the point of nuke exchanges, or at least was planned not to. But, with the idiots involved, there’s no real knowing until too deep in their stupid that it’s too late.

I doubt if Russia will take the bait.

I think it's even more sinister. He could be setting up our troops to be a target for an ISIS attack.

More than likely.
The drumbeat for war with Russia was fever pitched, especially from Hillary.
Should compile a timeline on it sometime, might be illuminating.

U.S. tanks rolled into Germany in 1945 and have never left.

Hold up. It looks like the OP just messed up the date. I went to the site, and the report is only three hours old.

Never fear. Putin is smart enough to know what Obama is doing and won’t respond to these “provocations,” but wait two weeks so that he and President Trump can negotiate like adults and work out what is best for both countries.

Just a FRypo. I’m just overly sensitive to fake news.

Obama sent troops in the last few days of his administration to protect Europe from a Russian move in 2014. Guy is a real piece of work. I’d say I hope Putin laughs out loud but that lunatic Obama would probably launch nukes

It actually came out two days ago in the Washington Post, was posted on FR yesterday, and so isn't breaking news:

U.S. tanks roll into Germany to bolster NATO deterrent against possible Russian aggression

Let's not forget Obama's hot-mic chat with the Russian pol where Obama sounded certain he would be re-elected (how would be know that?), and that his hands wouldn't be tied for whatever nonsense he had in mind. Something has probably been afoot for awhile.

Keep the tanks there. We’ll need them to take on all the state sponsored invaders from Islam.

"Some men just want to watch the whole world burn."

Congress, or someone in the military, needs to grab the buffoon by the neck right now.

Trying to cause enough trouble to declare martial law and delay the inauguration.

No doubt Putin will see through this as well and skewer obama again; just laugh at him and bide his stime until Trump is in office.

But it’s creating more work than ever for Trump.

Eleven days.

Praying for God to protect us from obama for that time.

BTW, does obama have authority to do this on his own or should this have required Congressional action?

To jack the Left, ‘what if obama threw a war against Russia and nobody came?’

Nothing I can prove and I may well be a bit tinfoil hatted on this but...

Imo, this has the stink of a Balkans War Part 2.
Balkans War Part 1 is credited by the usual suspects for saving Bill Clinton’s arse. I suspect the Obamanards and Killerys meant Part 2 to do the same for themselves.

I do believe that the usual suspects are that shallow and predictable in their stupidity.

The issues such a war might be meant to cover up or distract attention from:

1. EU is about to collapse.
2. Obama has a crapton of criminality to want disappeared.
3. Killery has a crapton of criminality that she also wants disappeared.
4. Every person in leadership in the Dem party, the DNC itself and much of the RNC/GOP(e) wants 2 and 3 to happen too, since they’re all neck deep in the criminality themselves.
