OSTERHOLZ-SCHARMBECK , Germany, Dec. 14 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army plans to deploy about 4,000 troops to Poland in early 2017 in a demonstration of strength aimed at Russia, a senior U.S. military official said.
Lt. Gen. Frederick Hodges, commander of U.S. Army Europe, said Tuesday the personnel would arrive in Germany and then be transferred to Poland. He made his remarks Tuesday at an army logistics school in Osterholz-Scharmbeck in northern Germany. He said northern Germany would be a logistics hub for U.S. troops deploying to Central and Eastern European countries.
The placement of troops in Poland, part of NATO's Atlantic Resolve operation, is meant to secure peace in Europe and offer a show of strength to Russia, Hodges added. An armored brigade of the U.S. military, currently in Colorado, will also be sent to Poland.
NATO, at a July summit meeting in Warsaw, agreed to deploy four rotating multinational battalions, each with about 1,000 troops, to Eastern European countries to counter anxiety about possible Russian aggression.

One week to go before a President Trump can end this madness! Rosie O'Donnell calling on Obama to declare martial law in order to keep Trump out. She is not alone. The left is losing it, totally!
My sincere desire is Pres. Trump on day one fire every man, woman, and he/she even remotely connected to this "Administration" of Obama. Kick 'em right the hell out of Washington. Change the locks on the doors. Order US Marshals to seize their computers and files. Clean house!!

If Putin holds true to form, as our troops step over the border, he will give each a cold bottle of vodka and a warm bowl of borscht. Maybe a band. welcome to Russia.

Obama and his minions, and their RINO and MSM allies, have given Trump no reason to play nice with them. I am thinking Trump will even make Reagan seem compromising. You have to go back to George Wallace to find an anti-establishment candidate as fierce as Trump. Of course, an attempted assassination crippled Wallace and ended his Presidential run. We know what has been called the deep state or the invisible government would like to see a similar outcome.

But let them keep the "T" key for a souvenir.

When we go full CW II, then Russia and China can get into it to divide up the REST of the world!

A CW II would be as short as a few days. All the other side has are Special Snowflakes and minority group gangsters whose bravery only exists when outnumbering their enemies 20 to one. The military and organized militia could even take New York City and Washington within two weeks. Then we could go full Pinochet/Franco on the Left, though I think it evil to kill thousands of our enemies and imprison millions more. As evil as Soros, the Clintons, etc., may be, they are not suicidal. They don't want to face the wrath of the awakened “saxon”(or white Christian American), to cite Kipling.

“Just imagine our reaction if Russia deployed 4,000 troops to Mexico or Canada”
That won’t happen. Simply because no sane government would invite the drunk Mongols into their country.
“What we are doing is a clear provocation, and is not only dangerous but reckless.”
What will you say when it becomes clear that Trump is not going to withdraw these forces ? Call him a war monger ? The enemy of Putin - “the real leader of the free world” ?
