Russia has orchestrated the deployment of special operations troops to the northern border of Belarus to see how sudden surges of migrants to the area are straining neighboring NATO countries' ability to respond, a source familiar with local governments' assessments tells U.S. News – the latest development in Moscow's troubling campaign of destabilization against Europe.

It was not immediately clear whether the commandos came from Russia or from Belarus, says former U.S. Army Europe Commander Ben Hodges, who says senior officials in Latvia believe the deployments are at least for reconnaissance, if not some other form of nefarious distraction.

The two former Soviet militaries have functioned with greater interoperability in recent years as the fate of embattled Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko becomes increasingly tied to Russian President Vladimir Putin's grip on his own country's government. Russia revealed on Friday it had deployed forces to northwestern Belarus for "snap exercises" by announcing the death of two paratroopers who reportedly collided during an airborne drop.

To the border of Russia, not to Belarus. Clickbait. 🥱

Could it not be ANYMORE CLEAR that the Biden group of clowns is not only NO deterrent to our enemies, but a literal provocation to take anything they want, knowing full well the U.S. will stand down?

NATO, Foisted on their own Petard!

Too bad Poland is stuck with the consequences when they were smart enough to limit "Refugee" Immigration.

But my daddy always told me: "Know about your 'friends' characters before you run with 'em.

"The moves all appear to represent Putin's first major challenge to the Biden administration despite its attempts to reset relations with Russia, including a high-profile summit in Switzerland in June. And following growing concerns in the U.S. at how Russia has attempted to weaponize energy flows through Europe, many believe Western powers now find themselves in a vulnerable position. Leaders in Washington also criticized Russia on Monday for an apparent anti-satellite missile test that created debris in space that U.S. officials warned could grievously damage the International Space Station and harm the seven astronauts on board."

The Rasputitsa (muddy season) is not a time launching large scale offensives.

I do not know who to trust anymore. But it seems a pretty good bet that whatever it is that the deep state democrats and RINO’s advocate is BAD for America and Americans. The Bidens have been on the Ukrainian payroll for decades. Who else has been corrupted? I do not know but I’ve become reluctant to send military forces anywhere that this administration wants.
