Eastern Europe: US Expanding Another Dumb War
Fri Jun 26, 2015 12:8
During a visit to the Estonian capital of Tallinn, Secretary of Defense Ash Carter claimed the US didnt want to send tanks to the area and that Russia had forced them to do so with its effort to take the world backward in time.
This is while the US has been dramatically increasing its presence in Eastern Europe with several such programs, always trying to justify them as an attempt to forestall a Russian invasion of the region. Over a year into such predictions and no Russian movement in sight, they just keep escalating.
Little wonder Russian officials have condemned the planned deployments as the most aggressive NATO action along their border since the Cold War, threatening to add to their own forces in the region in response.
Amazingly, Washington is still trying to present the plan as limited military operations, both in scope and in timeframe, though tellingly they have dodged all questions about how long the prepositioning will last, what the endgame is, and even what the scope will ultimately be.
