But the warmongering Neocons would not allow it. And here we are at an impasse.
Cue the Fred Thompson meme.

Nahhhh……
Some of us just want warhawks to stop prolonging this thing by supplying cash and gear to a corrupt little man so the chips can fall where they may.
I heard that in the Classified Papers found by the FBI in Benedict Bidens’s house was Obama’s REAL Birth Certificate! Ha-ha!
“Russia has never helped NATO.”
Shows how little you know.
Simple little search and found on Wiki:
“The 1st Separate Airborne Brigade (1 RSAB) of the Russian Airborne Troops, initially under the command of Colonel Aleksandr Ivanovich Lentsov, was part of the Task Force Eagle effort.[1] At first the Brigade consisted of 1,500 soldiers. In the beginning, Russian forces were stationed in five camps (Ugljevik, Priboj, Simin Han, Vukocavci and Spasoevici). One year later, the area of responsibility was given to the command of infantry troops from Saint Petersburg’s military region in Russia.[2]”
And here it is from the horse’s mouth so to speak:

And you say that I have no credibility? Pfffft!
NATO has been on Russias border since 1949 because Norway was one of the founding members.
And is it our or NATO’s fault that former Soviet bloc countries want to join NATO?
Russia was there as a UN peacekeeping troop.
Not to do with NATO.
NATO openly supported the Kosovar Albanians, insisting that Yugoslav troops withdraw from the province. In addition to the illegal bombing of Yugoslavia, the alliance was planning to send the KFOR international peacekeeping force into Kosovo. Russia, which was supporting the Serbs, wanted to take part in the peacekeeping operation, but the Americans had no intention of involving it.
On June 12, 1999, Russian paratroopers stationed in Bosnia marched to Pristina, where they occupied the strategically important Slatina airport, ahead of the British troops, which appeared there soon. Despite the stand-off between Russia and NATO, Russian peacekeepers (about 3,600 people) remained in Kosovo until 2003 and even collaborated with the KFOR force from time to time.
But the warmongering Neocons would not allow it. And here we are at an impasse.
Cue the Fred Thompson meme.
