The U.S. Defense Secretary's itinerary to Eastern Europe was bound to anger Moscow, which announced it was shuttering its NATO mission and kicking NATO diplomats out of Moscow.
"We don't have proper conditions for basic diplomatic activities," said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Moscow blames NATO for not being interested in "equal dialogue or joint efforts to defuse military-political tension." The decision comes after NATO expelled eight diplomats from Russia's mission earlier this month, saying they were working as undeclared intelligence officers.
En route to NATO this week, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin visited Georgia and Ukraine,,,
...NATO is now trying to regain the upper hand with new, more aggressive tactics to deter further Russian expansion and the return of another Cold War, that's growing increasingly hot....

man that headline made me think of dead rappers.
“Bulgaria was shot overnight, the country was recently getting its life together, and was an aspiring nato prospect...”
Wow I sure Russia is quaking at the thought of the US under Bugout Biden
Teddy Roosevelt said “Talk softly and carry a big stick”
Biden policy seems to be “Hide in the basement and get me a transgender Admiral”.
Nato is worthless without the US. Care to see the United States’ resolve in honoring its defense promises? Just wait a few years and ask Taiwan, or what is left of it.
Stupidity, Russia is the nation most likely to be trusted in the effort to contain China.
Can anyone name a NATO country likely to stand up with us if things go sideways?
Russian understands the Chinese threat, and haters aside, has more that a bit in common with the US besides hot chicks.
Let’s go, Brandon!
Concur 100
I wonder how long it will take China to realize all the raw materials they ever need are just north of them in a place called “Siberia”
But what about Deep State expansion?
This Biden effort to 'expand NATO' is nothing more than the derps trying to regain control of the territories they lost during the Trump aministration.
Cold war? There was no 'cold war' with Russia with Trump. The only cold war being waged against Russia was by the derps (alternative government) as they tried to stoke the flames against Russia (and Trump) every step of the way.
Now that they are in control, its back to business as usual. They must make Russia the enemy, as she stands in the way of total derp domination of the planet.
This is the truth of it. Its really very simple, once you understand that we are engaged in a silent and ongoing war for control of the planet, and have been for decades.
And China smiles.

Let’s go, Brandon!
The country that controls space, controls the planet.
The JoeLitburo is firmly in favor of the CCP controlling space.
You make an excellent point. And true.
And some people thought Space Force was a lark.
That would be the people with Mitt for brains.
Hope that’s not Diet Pepsi. That aspartame is bad for ya.
Unlike HFCS.......:)
Why do we keep threatening Russia
It caused the invasion of Crimea and Russian support of Iran and China

Not really. Russia has always wanted Crimea. They saw an opportunity to steal it and did.

Crimeans are Russian and they didn’t want to be part of Ukraine.
Russia entered Crimea and were welcomed by the people and without firing a single shot.
Crimea made it known they didn’t want to be part of Ukraine but that fell on deaf ears at the U.N. and The White House (Obama).
If we didn't stage a coup in Ukraine Crimea would still be a part of it.
Honestly he looks like he’s a crack head..
Him and hunter and little children..oh yea thats what we have..
No, it was Russians from Moscow and the Russian military that stole Crimea at gun point. Putin even gave them medals for doing it. Regardless of local preference there was no organic movement on the issue. If there was it would not have been necessary to invade with the Russian military and intelligence agencies.
