Airborne troops from Russia and the Untied States would hold joint anti-terror drills in the U.S. state of Colorado between May 24 and 31, spokesman of the Russian Defense Ministry Col. Alexander Kucherenko said on Thursday.
According to the spokesman, it will be the first time that the Russian airborne forces have held exercises with the U.S. airborne forces on the U.S. territory.
"According to the exercise scenario, soldiers of the two countries will hold a tactical airborne operation, including the reconnaissance of imaginary terrorists' camp and a raid," Kucherenko said.
"After the operation, a helicopter will evacuate the soldiers," Kucherenko said, adding that the Russian soldiers will also exercise with the U.S. special service weapons in the drills in Fort Carson, Colorado.
Besides, the spokesman said, the Russian group will arrive a week ahead of the drills and attend a baseball game in the city of Colorado Springs.
Thanks for the ping!
“Tell Vladimir I’ll have more flexibility after your army is in control of the entire Mountain Time Zone...”
Thanks so much for the ping, Quix. I REALLY don’t think this is any *exercise*. I mean an airport, a CIA building, and an _NSA_ building? It’s like they used the script of Red Dawn (the good one).
I am not liking this AT ALL.
As for timing - the NATO meeting in Chicago is scheduled for the week/weekend before. The 20th or thereabouts... Many in Chicago near McCormick Place in apartment buildings have been advised to evacuate the city as their buildings will essentially be *closed* due to the “anarchists” who will be showing up to protest NATO. I wouldn’t be surprised if the “anarchists” got together with Obama’s little hoodlum friends and had some *fun* that weekend...
Thanks.
That’s more than a little plausible.
However, I think it may be a month or 3 or 4 too early for them to kick off WW3.
And some think it may be delayed beyond that.
I do think some dramatic life changing, world changing events are scheduled for this year. What and when, I don’t know with any certainty.
It is past time to be walking close to God.
