Provocation? NATO Conducts Military Maneuvers 300 Yards From Russia's Border
Submitted by Daniel McAdams via The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity,
When a Russian bomber flew over international waters some 25 miles off the southwest tip of England last week, UK Defense Secretary Michael Fallon called Russia "a real and present danger." The UK government scrambled jet fighters to meet the Russian aircraft as a show of force.
Said Secretary Fallon of the incident, "NATO has to be ready for any kind of aggression from Russia, whatever form it takes." He added that, "NATO is getting ready," warning particularly that Russia may soon move to invade the Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
Reading the feverish Twitter feed of NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Gen. Phil Breedlove, one would get the impression that NATO is already at war with Russia. Fighter jets sit menacingly atop aircraft carriers as the General beams about NATO member countries' commitment to contribute to the fight.

The message is clear: Russia is about to attack! NATO has, for no understandable reason, found itself in Russia's crosshairs. NATO cannot figure out how it is that Russia could possibly feel threatened by its actions, which, unlike Russia's are not in the slightest provocative.
Russian military plane over international waters 25 miles from the UK coast is "real and present danger" to NATO. Yet...
Yet yesterday US combat vehicles conducted a military parade and show of military force in Estonia just 300 yards -- yards! -- from the Russian border. That is just over 60 miles from downtown St. Petersburg.
Here is dramatic video of NATO's military display just three football fields from Russia:
This is not a provocation, we are to believe. This is not a "real and present danger" to Russia. NATO is exempt from the rules it imposes on its enemies.
In the Guardian's review of a new book by Politics professor George Sakwa, the current fallout from a near quarter century of post-Cold War NATO policies is perfectly captured:
The hawks in the Clinton administration ignored all this, Bush abandoned the anti-ballistic missile treaty and put rockets close to Russia’s borders, and now a decade later, after Russia’s angry reaction to provocations in Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine today, we have what Sakwa rightly calls a “fateful geographical paradox: that Nato exists to manage the risks created by its existence”.
That line bears repeating: "Nato exists to manage the risks created by its existence."

This is unreal. I try and warn family and friends that WWIII and a finacial collapse are a very real possibility. They respond by not really talking to me much any more. I'm just trying to save them. Uhg.
Same here. They just look at me like wtf.
SMG- I feel your pain man. I've resorted to engaging in some MDB''esque satire when discussing these issues with friends and family.
Try it sometime and see the difference in reaction. The will still ignore you but the look on their face changes dramatically from "take off your tinfoil hat" to someone that's battling with cognitive dissonance.
Just be careful. Some will take the sarc as cynicism and accuse you of having aspergers which is a nice way to say cynical asshole.
Good luck and enjoy
they say my bro has aspergers. but i think that is a polite way of saying he is a paranoid schitzophrenic. he once accused me of stealing his silverware. im like, "dude i live in the same god damn house". ahhhhh family. what a blessing.
Well, then they don't deserve saving. I'm in the same boat. If you have any resources it's time to start hiding them because you know who will come calling when they have no backup plan.
Give em directions to the fema camp.
SMG.
The timeline for the chastisement is 2017.
I do think that we're seeing the scene being set for conflict.
Father Malachi Martin told the world in early 1990's that Kiev and 2017 is referred to in the 3rd secret, which he read when the secret was opened in the Vatican in 1960.
From 12 minutes onwards https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az4dzdS79jU
Fuck you. Do you believe that sort of bullshit? If so, there's not much hope for you
3rd secret was revealed in 1917.
In 1960, the church was urged to publish it's contents. It refused. One of the few people to have read the secret in 1960 was Father Martin. Father Martin only disclosed some detail of the secret in early 1990's.
Think about it in light of what we're now seeing.
How could Father Martin have predicted Kiev and Russia in the early 1990's unless he was privy to something? On the face of it at that time there was no reason to mention Kiev. If he had said Belgrade, or Somalia, where there were ongoing conflicts at the time of Father Martins radio interview then you could say that this would explain that prediction. In the early 1990's, Kiev/Ukraine was reasonably peaceful.
I think what we're seeing now ties in to what Fr.Martin says is in the 3rd secret.

Know Jesus Know hope.
If there is no Jesus then there is absolutely no hope.
It is you, usednabused, who is lacking in the Hope Department.
Ease your heart. There are others you may warn, maybe not your family. You probably have changed them. Everytime they hear a news cast or something, they will be sensitive to it because you seeded it.
Give you an example of what you CAN do. I print articles I think are good from ZH and elsewhere. Take them printed with me to lunch at some restarant or starbucks. Eat and Read it, THEN leave it on the table. Like depth charges that go off after you leave. Some will pick it up and maybe be interested and read it.
The staff will pick it up...
Last week, had a twentysomething girl behind the counter saw my article as I paid and it was the one about the Barbie Doll with internet, and she said, "We were just talking about that. We love reading the stuff you leave, we have a lot of discussions...
So you never know who you touch...
I suffer the same response.
Here is why nobody understands you:

Dont fucking bother.

He's a poor test case. Once you've signed the deal with the devil, it's hard to go back on it.
I only hope a few kids get on to this site BEFORE they sign up to throw away their lives (and worse yet, unjustly kill others, thus destroying their souls) for the liars in charge.
Estonia and the rest of NATO have a death wish!...
Especially when your economies and currencies are worthless and are attempting to start a major conflagration with everything else they have left because they feel that is all they have left!!!
I'll say it again WE ARE ALL RUSSIANS NOW!!!
Either we put the White House "chimp", the Legislative, the Pentagon JCS/Langley and the NSA on trial NOW or it will be too late for the rest of us!!!
I'll help you pack. There is no Iron Curtain that prevents you from living in a land that is more in tune with your own personal belief system. Follow your heart and find the place that feels like home to you,
You're a tarabel cunt.
Does this mean that you are not interested in living in Putin's Wonderland?
I'd certainly entertain the thought given the direction the USSA government has towards its belief of freedum and Constitional checks and balances. Just look at Obunghole's latest statement about CONgress ruling his actions illegal. CONgress has become worthless and irrelevant because of their lack of actions to provide the check which they're supposed to be.
Women seem hotter too. Amurikan women are generally fat and self entitled that they deserve the best of everything.
Given your assertion that American women believe that they deserve the best of everything, I do understand your flirtation with the concept of immigration.
Okay, been fun but I do need to get something done today, so TTFN.
Hahaha, nice attempt to turn it around on me but I'm far better than any fatty deserves. I actually work to keep myself in shape, stay active, and informed. Contrary to most 'murikans today.
Good luck with that.
taracunt has to punch out. State department closes at 3:30
If I was given the opportunity I will take the hot virgin Christian Orthodox girl before the fatty slutty Western bitch anytime.
Fuck me, wish I had learnt Russian in my high school days (they proposed it).
Back of the line SGBB, I called it first! Bitchez :)
Not interested in living in Barak's wonderland fucknuts
You're a tarabel cunt.
I keep telling tara"jew" that no matter how hard he tries, both he and the rest of the "tribe" won't be taking it with them even if the gates of heaven finally open for them in their mind(s)!!!
The beach front property will certainly be a bargain? Only problem is that when the "dust settles" this time around his people won't be around to enjoy it!
I made a comment on here close to a year ago that anti-semitism was on the rise. Only to be told by another regular zionhedger, that I was wrong. Yet I continue to see news that states this is a correct observation. But then again they're just repressed and never do anything to bring it on themselves.

Excellent post(s) per your usual.

Think blood moons!!! If you let them they will certainly finish it for you!!!!!
Appreciate the kind words Nemo.
what is your definition of semite?
It's not my definition. However currently it basically mean anti-jew. Even though most so called jews are not semites. So choose your own definition as you see fit.
Good answer. Why even play these semantics. The Jews run the west. If one can't see this they are blind.
Or they're jewish. ;)
Gruber was right.
You're proof.
Estonia's currency is the €. Gobshite.
You're thinking too small. You know where the Rothschild mansions are - it's time to storm their palaces with all those weapons you have stockpiled and a length of rope for a noose.
+100!
Monkey with a Hand Grenade!
No, Russia is never provocative. Not to mention there is a big difference between bombers in the air and slow moving vehicles 60 miles away. One is "slightly " more provocative than the other.
And again with this Guardian article. The propaganda here is ramping up so Russia must be getting ready to attack.
Lmao @ your warmongering. Its high time for the Hasbara trolls to head to the motherland. And fucker, don't ever come back
This article is non-sense! Trying to compare a Bomber in International Airspace 25 miles from British Airspace and trucks driving within a sovereign border (albeit 300 yards from said border) is a farce and intellectually dishonest.
It will all end with a bright flash of light. A Topol-M sunrise. If we are lucky we won't even feel it. This is where our warmongering idiotic leaders are bringing us to.
Two suns in the sunset.
I love that song. Perhaps the best one on that album.
Let's get it on, brother. I'm sick and tired of you guys threatening me with nuclear weapons unless I give you what you want. Sooner or later, I will have to say no and that means that you will use your toys eventually, so why not today?

Once again my government has it bass ackwards. I requested a campaign against ISIS and leave the Ukraine alone (get out completely)! I got the exact opposite.
What's truly bass-ackwards is the idea that it's "your" government.
Same parade in Estonia, NATO troops on foot marching through Ethnic Russian neighborhood, with Russian National Anthem (played from nearby appartment) and man waving Russian flag:
http://fortruss.blogspot.com/2015/02/nato-military-parade-in-narva-eston...
The unfunny part: this is NATO warning Russia to keep hands off when Estonian, Latvian, Lituanian ethnic cleansing goes into high gear and street battles erupt.
There was an eye witness report that the russian aircraft actually flew inland of the UK.
Would that russian aircraft be the regular Aeroflot Heathrow-Moscow flight by any chance?
Let's start already that ww3!
Cross russia border same way russia atacked Ukraine, than let russia retaliate than drop nukes on everyone.
Evolution, survival of the fittess, LETS THE WAR BEGIN, already. Let the weak element die.

It's not an option. There is no war, only countries literally being rendered unlivable in a period of minutes. MAD is still operative. But I think we have lost touch with the reality of what that means. It's scary as hell.
This is kinda like walking through a black neighborhood chanting white power.
don't remind me.
Only four of those vehicles, the Strykers, were American. A few of the others appeared to be German or Dutch. The vast majority of those vehicles were Estonian. It isn't even certain that the Strykers were manned by Americans, as the U.S. has sold those vehicles to many nations.
Complete with flags, obviously.
So...either a Gulf of Tonkin incident (if they don't get caught), or a USS Liberty incident (and they do get caught), right?
"At O-Dark Thirty this morning, Pol, err, uhh, Russian troops crossed into Ukraine and shot up a Ukrainian radio station near the border. Using my pen and phone, I have ordered both companies and a spare platoon of US troops to attack Russia! Our victory for the Reic-- errr, uhh, Homeland is assured against the Evil Putin who has gobbled up one country after another since 2001!!"
Are you familiar wiith the "false flag" concept?
Having asked the question, I found it interesting that the vehicle flying an American flag also flew and red and white U.S. Cavalry pennant. That means we probably have at least one company of cavalry there. I suspect they are from the 2nd Infatry Division, stationed at Ft. Lewis, Washington.
NATO forces are the US bitch.
US hiding behind 300 million europeons. Life is cheap if its someone elses. Nuelands remark of "fuck the EU" comes to mind.
Great point!
And lot of people are aware of that in Europe. Maybe except London folks..
Ah, but it is The City that tells The Street (and Fed) what to do........
I'm curious:
Can someone tell me how I can know for sure that:
1) These are NATO tanks and trucks
2) This video was shot where it says
3) That these aren't just Russian troops with an American flag, for propaganda sake
I want to be armed with this info, so when I spread the word, I have the answers. I for one, believe that the US/EU/Nuland et al, perpetrated the coup in Kiev, and for whatever reason, Obama is provoking a war with Russia...
Do you think that MSM would report a Russian hoax?

I summarize it in two words.
Circle jerk.
kind of like sumo.
2 big guys get into the sumo stance and stare at each other.
they get up and turn around and slap themselves then slap on some more powder.
then come back and take the sumo stance and stare.
2-4 times of doing this
some one charges.
then the fight is on.
gonna be fast.
But Sumo wrestlers have the ability to draw their testicles up into themselves, to protect them.
Can anyone ID the tanks at 2:26? The 4 wheel APC's are Finnish made. The tanks look light to medium weight. I do not think any of this stuff is US made. Maybe a few of the trucks.
The APCs and the tanks are also pretty tall or really high profile. Stupid design. A blind man could hit them with an RPG. The APCs probably could not take a cheap RPG hit.
NovoRussian's supposedly have been taking out Ukrainian tanks with multiple cheap RPG hits.
Correction. The Finnish APC has three wheels. These are Strykers. They are really tall.
"I do not think any of this stuff is US made."
Yup, even the US flags are made in China.
Do as I say not as I do.
Dad? Is that you?
Apparently the Turkish Defense Minister personally flew the fighter aircraft that buzzed Athens a few weeks back.
It was four Turkish warplanes today.
Obviously Turkey will look at Russia's move into Cyprus as a hostile act. No, I do not understand it. Seems needlessly provacative to me.
Will Americans "surge" into Kiev should this cease fire hold? Absolutely.
Is it time for John Kerry to go?
Absolutely.
Is it time for Donald Trump to tell Washington DC "you're fired!"?
Absolutely.
Whats up with the American flags on two of the vehicles? I thought nato had it's own flag. I find that a bit troubling myself.
"Pa, them dirty Reds are comin' for our wimmin."
My only concern is that Vichy DC has nothing to lose! Everything's gone pear shaped and deteriorating rapidly. One last throw of the dice to spoil Russia and China's party.
Tacobel has everything to lose as she'll be back in community college when the troll manpower budgets are heavily cut.
Pretty sure my neighbors over at 386 are about to attack, and the family down the road in 377 are plotting something, of that I am sure.
Guess I'm going to have to burn the house of former and murder the residents of the later just to be safe.
Let that be a warning to you....elderly couple over in 401 with your well cut corner lot!!! I'm watching you, and I know you're watching me. That friendly wave is maybe a little too friendly, and you're not fooling anyone with that kind of garage. Colin Powell told me there might be WMD's in there.
Howdy Nay Burr!
Don't forget Boo Radley.
The Russophobic (paid) shills on this site are really something special.
1. Do you personally think your life would get better or worse if America went to war with Russia? I guarantee you the best case scenario is widespread shortages of food and fuel, and the worst case is barely able to be contemplated.
2. Considering above, why the fuck are you willing to take money to provide political cover for such a move? Even if it's never even done, you still brought us closer to a catastrophe that would fundamentally alter life in this country. Is your meager paycheck really worth risking the total breakdown of normal life in this country?
3. Are you retarded?
This zionism thing is a cult and many of them are complete dupes. They've been indoctrinated with these beliefs from childhood and are probably attached to them deeply. An excellent control mechanism for thier masters higher up.
I think you mean Islam? After all their prophet was fucking dead women, little girls and the wives of his followers.
I have not seen anywhere where Russia is planning to invade the USSA.
So, what's the worry?
Gawd, the crooks in office think we are dumb.
Slavophobia is deep rooted in America ever since the 1950's.
That's three generations fearing, mistrusting, and preparing to kill people that we never met.
A common foreign enemy works well to cement an empire into submission.
If we didn't have them to fear, we would surely be fighting amongst ourselves.
Obama and Kerry are fucking idiots.
You can say that again!
Obama and Kerry are fucking idiots.
Really? No one has really noticed.
not the kardashians, or bruce jenner or ray rice. and never will. it's over. this country is so fucking stupid to beyond belief.
Thanks!
This is a under statement
Lets be on with it already, tired of talking this bullshit.

But aunty told you just the other day that it's OK to sell some!
Right out of a Tom Clancy novel
More like Banana Repuplikkk on crystal meth

Clancy would never write something this stupid. Clancy's characters, at least in the books he wrote, had a hell of a lot more strength than these clowns do. Clancy would be appalled at these goings-on.

Kharkiv easily over 90%

False flag event to be blamed on Putin in 3...

60 miles from St Petersburg aye?. Maybe that idiot Breedlove needs to crack a history book and Realize that St. Petersburg used to be called Leningrad. A city that withstood a siege that lasted 900 day's, the worst and deadliest seige in all history . People reduced to a 125 gram bread per day diet, ate all the rats and pigeons, sheep guts, bark off trees, even the paste under wallpaper. About 1.3 million people died of bombing and starvation but the city never surrendered. More people in just this one city than most wars. Then that Eurowus would at least know the kind of people he is jacking with.
They have a giant tomb for the 1.2 million dead in St. Petersburg and it says:
"Rome fell, Troy fell, but Leningrad Stood"- ye dont get to be a Hero City is Russia for nothin. Good luck morons, you will need it. Count me OUT.
For those interested here the story of the Siege of Leningrad, a sad, heartrending 5 part story of a peoples will for the right to exist.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXQlJrttpOU
President Putin's Mother was there and survived seige, but lost infant son. Older brother of VV Putin.
Yes I knew this about Putin's mother and brother. Only the Europeans forget and start rubbing their greedy little hands together every 75 years or so, the Russian people can't
Wake me up when its over, Ill sit this one out on the sidelines eating samiches. Millions of man armies failed. So when their 75 troops make this place fall where no one else ever has, they only have what. 3200 miles to go? LOL. The western media calls it a regional power. HA Whateva
You wrote samiches.
+1
So this is what happens when Russia dumps 20% of its U.S. Treasuries and launches its own version of the SWIFT system.
. . . and starts to buy/sell stuff in a currency other than the USD.
No, what happens whan you dump treasuries is the same as when China does... an effort to either bolster the dollar, or to devalue your own currency.
Yeah, Russian/Chinese SWIFT... now that Russia has signed on to be the exclusive worldwide distributor to McDongle's for Happy Meal toys and Lego knockoffs, their economy should grow by leaps...
Good. Fuck it. I'm tired of doing homework.
This is Kiev in middle of Ukraine not city Narva. Kiev is 1200km from Petersburg!
Someone give me google map location url of this place on movie please.
Whee found it so maybe is real unless mean google fakeing it :

Economist World Debt Comparison:

Please compare US to Russia debt.
Who is broke? you either just don't know from stupid ignorance or deep in denial...
otherwise Russians are best educated of world, with 54% higher education degrees
while US fell to 29th by one recent study
more lies. Dont you trolls get ashamed when we prove your lies are lies over AND OVER AND OVER? Russia NEVER went inside NATO s'apce. They are always in international waters. Even UK admits that.
If I was YOu, I'd be ashamed to even post. Obviously you are beyond shame.
Captain Butthole said:
Speaking of broke despetion and stupisity...
Huh? It is Narva. DIRECTLY on the border with Russia. DIRECTLY. Washington Maniacs at it again. Ugh.
Even were your statement true, and it appears not to be, the video shows some of those vehicles flying US flags. So what is the US doing with its heavy military equipment in Kiev?
Whichever way you look at it this is a provocation.
NATO will conduct operation flaregun exercise to flag drone practice runs.
Rehearsing defensive posture is warranted. Within 1 foot or 1 mile from the border, it is permissible under international law.
Russia however is executing its Mafia war on Ukraine by sending troops and heavy weaponry routinely across borders.
Shift change at the Ministry of Truth it appears...I remember thinking about joining the military in the foreign lang area until I realized who I would have to be working around all the time. Yikes! Appeared to be an army of one alright...
brain cell
Well let's be honest here, if the video is correct, the convoy (swear I thought it was the same vehicles going in a circle) is 300m from land Russia took from the Ukraine by INVADING them.
Just so I'm clear - Russia invades a sovreign nation and the posters here go mute. Ukraine runs a convoy and people lose their mind. (and start conspiracy theories out the wazzoo - all attributed to the "Joos")
Well let's be honest here and just to be clear...Narva is in Estonia. So who is losing their mind?
"Ukraine" is not a real country, and neither is "Estonia." Both are part of Russia.
Why because Russia stole those lands during WWII, I guess France, Italy, Libya and the West part of Germany are part of the U.S., using your logic they are.
What land? Estonia land? maybe you should correctly know Soviet USSR from Russian Federation
If you meant that....your post is ignorantly vague...
Please do not conflate Soviet USSR with Russian Federation
Soviet was never a Russian construct
From 1917 thru Stalin was never Russians in control
Stalin was not a Russian. He was a Georgian criminal
Even Kruschev and Breznev were Ukrainian nationals.
Ukraine has never been a sovereign nation
Russia invaded no one
Crimea seceded...
Crimea is still celebrating
cleared that up for you...
MOAD .... Mother Of All Disclaimers !
If Ukraine is not really a nation...what was it you were saying about Kruschev and Brezhnev's nationality??
I said Ukraine has never been a sovereign nation.
Decision making power over Ukrainian's lives is from sourceoutside the borders, as it has been for centuries.
Even states of third world have more sovereignty, Ukraine has near none. Historically this is very unique,
very few know much about, much less understand even minimally.
Ukraine means borderland. Statelessness and lack of moderization of Ukraine have been always.
What was base agrarian became force industrialized by not Ukrainians, with harsh rapid upheaval and depradations.
Those of real historical Ukraine descent have no say at all...then and now
Multiple levels of outsiders make every decision on Ukraine citizens.
problem is, we are still waiting for the proof that "Rusia invaded Ukraine".
Same as how we are still waiting to see them "weapons of mass distraction" I suppose.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaany day now?
People don't get that everyone is playing a zero sum game that cannot end well for anyone. In a street fight, [I learned in front of the Gasworks in Toronto] the fight depends on whomever is willing to strike first. Most street fights end in the first punch. Putin has been antagonized to a preemptive degree, and given the lack of diplomacy mediating, the trend is to strike as soon as one is in the best strategic position to force the issues. ERGO, we see the trial runs up to the first assault in World War Three. And after that all Hell breaks loose and chaos ensues Worldwide. There will be no recall/ceasefire when the first attack is launched. The American forces have traditionally been the principal warmonger in all wars over the last fourty years, but the American forces, and American aggression, has run its course in the entire World and most people in the World will not tolerate any first strikes from American forces. Putin literally has a free hand to plan accordingly and everyone in the West knows it. Bottom line is that the USA is a sitting duck that is about to be blasted out of the water in the first strike scenerio the Russian Federation likely has planned.
NOTE: Don't forget that I called first dibs on New York State after the first strike, eh.
Putin doesn't have to do anything rash, just continue to act in a responsible manner as he has been doing all along. By refusing to be bated into Novorussia (despite the people begging for armed assistance against the Nuland Junta) all the State Dept and their British vassals can do is froth and spit about a nonexistent invasion. Minsk 2 was a HUGE step towards a resurgent cooperation between Germany and Russia. Just to be clear- neither the US nor GB were invited, and no NSA plants were in the meeting!
The propaganda machine is running out of gas...it didn't work with Syria, it didn't work with a nonexistent Russian invasion, and it didn't work with MH17 (Kerry jumped the shark on that one worse than the Fonz!)
NATO was a dick to expand towards Russia after the Soviet Union fell, but nothing exploded and nobody was hurt. Putin has been a dick about relations with the west generally and has exploded and killed a lot of folks.
I don't think Putin believes anyone in the west is going to explode anything in his direction and he's probably right, so I guess he can do what he wants, though it's unclear to me that he gains anything by it.
Thank god we have real issues, like net-neutrality, to worry about.
Same video link.. Differient angle.

What's interesting is that on March 1, there's elections in NATO country Estonia... and guess what the PRO-RUSSIA party is in the lead!!
This could get interesting real fast.
