No!
Oh boy, this is sure to go well. The Europeans can see for themselves what a wimp he is. Of course, it won’t be the first time.
This isn’t Russia, and Obama is not our Putin (permanent), he will be gone in just over two years.
NATO Plans New Bases in Eastern Europe
“”UPI | Aug 27, 2014
BRUSSELS — The head of NATO said new bases in Eastern Europe will be built to counter potential conflict with Russia.
Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the NATO summit next week in Cardiff, Wales, would overcome divisions within the 28-nation mutual security organization and establish opportunities to deploy troops and equipment near the Russian border.
Poland and the three Baltic countries formerly part of the Soviet Union — Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia — have been especially vocal about the anxiety as a potential target for Russian involvement, in light of Russia’s recent annexation of Crimea, and its perceived role in helping militants in Ukraine’s breakaway eastern provinces.
According to Rasmussen:
“We will adopt what we call a readiness action plan with the aim to be able to act swiftly in this completely new security environment in Europe. We have something already called the NATO response force whose purpose is to be able to be deployed rapidly if needed. Now it’s our intention to develop what I would call a spearhead within that response force at very, very, high readiness. In order to be able to provide such rapid reinforcements you also need some reception facilities in host nations. So it will involve the pre-positioning of supplies, of equipment, preparation of infrastructure, bases, headquarters. The bottom line is you will in the future see a more visible NATO presence in the east.”””
I still think, if Palin had been our President, she would not put up up with any crap that would be dangerous to our country. Putin wouldn’t mess with her, nor would anyone hostile to us. Our weakness is our current so called leadership, and I mean that in small letters. The thought of Hillary becoming a President makes me shutter, as she will be no different. She is just another narcissist looking for fame. Not looking to campaign for Palin, I’m only using her for a comparison. Then again I can’t think of any forerunner in the GOP that has her fortitude or her desire to set things right.
Another tax-payer supported junket for this community organizer with no purpose.
The Russians know a cupcake when they see one.
Wink, wink!
“Hey! Uh, where’s my red line?”
Sounds kindergartenish.
King Arthur: “You’re a loony!”
he sounds like a guy in a bar hiding behind his friends asking them to “hold me back, hold me back” when everyone knows he’s a pussy.
I think after that I think Vlady still laughing LOL!
All Freepers can’t stop laughing
And you can just forget about the rest of Western Europe! No way! We’ll give ya Ukraine, but that is IT, do you hear me? If you just take One of the Baltic states too, you are gonna be very sorry!
Holy crap.
This is both incredibly embarrassing and scary at the same time.
I know that everybody thinks this time that they live in is the most tumultuous and dangerous in history.
But I think any student of history would have to look at this time and think there looks to be a confluence of large events of the type that are historically significant, and have plenty of historical precedents.
There is a shift of power going on in the world right now. There are many people around the globe who wish for a world without American influence. They may get their wish, and they may find out (to their liberal chagrin) that there are things out there that are a lot worse than America.
There is a big money issue. We’re broke. And there isn’t anybody interested in fixing it. So, in our lifetimes, we may well see the wealthiest nation in history have a financial implosion.
Never mind what’s going on over the Middle East.
So, yeah. I do think these are historic times we are living in. I think they are significant, and I feel pretty strongly that history will see it the same way.
And in the middle of all this, we have an incompetent fraud who, by the way, is also malevolent.
“We don’t have a plan.”
“They aren’t our enemies.”
“...don’t even think about messing around in...”
That last line. In dangerous, frightening, and significant times, our government issues ghetto-speak.
It isn’t even amusing. I find it alarming.
