“They are part of President Barack Obama’s response to reassure Nato allies concerned about a more aggressive Russia.” - This is the bs excuse for sending the troops. The real reason is - “Is this setting the stage for a conflict with Russia?” Obama is doing everything he can to provoke Russia. The expulsion of diplomats and economic sanctions can be laughed off, but more serious cyber attacks cannot. If we are involved in a conflict with Russia, how can Donald Trump be sworn in? Everyone knows the Russians put him in. He may even be KGB. The left will do anything to prevent him from being sworn in. If he gets in a lot of people are going to jail.
[Obama is doing everything he can to provoke Russia.]
Putin won’t take the bait. He knows Obama’s game and will snooker him like he usually does.
