US Sends Over 100 US Tanks, Armor To Latvia As Nuland "Confirms" Russia Delivering Weapons

Tyler Durden's picture




 

No lesser trustworthy character than Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland explained this morning that the US can "confirm" new Russian weapons delivery to Ukraine and that they "can tell" when Russia sends in new weapons (though offering no explanation of this statement). This comment to the Senate Committee comes a day after the US delivered 'lethal aid' to Latvia - 120 armored units (including tanks) - with US Army General John O’Conner who witnessed the tanks arriving on Latvian soil said, "Freedom must be fought for, freedom must be defended." And finally, one more shot in the eye of the germans, deputy under-secretary of Defense Brian McKeon said the US is "actively considering more weapons for Ukraine," seemingly implying they alreadt sent some?

The rhetoric is heating up

  • *ASSISTANT SEC. OF STATE NULAND SPEAKS BEFORE SENATE COMMITTEE
  • *U.S. CAN CONFIRM NEW RUSSIAN WEAPONS DELIVERY TO UKRAINE:NULAND
  • *NULAND SAYS U.S. CAN TELL IF RUSSIA SENDS IN NEW WEAPONS
  • *NULAND SAYS UKRAINE LEADERS KNOW IN RACE TO REFORM GOVERNMENT
  • *DEPUTY UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE BRIAN MCKEON SPEAKS TO SENATE
  • *U.S. 'ACTIVELY' CONSIDERING MORE WEAPONS FOR UKRAINE: MCKEON

And this comes a day after the US delivered lethal aid to Latvia...

As RT reports,

Latvia has confirmed more than 120 armored units, including tanks, have been delivered by the US. According to the Latvian Ministry of Defense, these include M1A2 Abrams tanks and M2A3 Bradley armored vehicles.

 

The move to deploy yet more tanks and armored vehicles was welcomed by Latvian Minister of Defense Raymond Vejonis."The presence of our allies (US and NATO) in Latvia is a confirmation of solidarity and security in the region," Vejonis said in a statement on Twitter.

 

The tanks were delivered to Latvia via Riga Freeport after being offloaded from the carrier ship Liberty Promise on Monday. US Army General John O’Conner who witnessed the tanks arriving on Latvian soil said, “Freedom must be fought for, freedom must be defended," as reported by the US Embassy Riga Twitter feed.

 

...

 

He also added their delivery would "demonstrate resolve to President Putin and Russia that collectively we can come together," while General O’Connor also mentioned, they would stay "for as long as required to deter Russian aggression,” as reported by AFP.

Leaving the situation ever more dangerous...

But Nuland wasn't done yet. As Sputnik news reports,

The United States government is applying pressure to European countries that oppose sanctions against Russia, US Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs Victoria Nuland said at a US Senate hearing on Tuesday.

 

“We continue to talk to them bilaterally about these issues,” Nuland said of Hungary, Greece, and Cyprus, whose leaders have opposed anti-Russian sanctions. “I will make another trip out to some of those countries in the coming days and weeks.”

 

Nuland noted that “despite some publically stated concerns, those countries have supported sanctions” in the European Union Council.

The great old USA has taken over another country. Try to get rid of them Latvia.  If there's a world war 3 no troops or their armour will be necessary.   It is merely a plot fraught with false flag events that will have you swallowed like all the other countries.

Europe and now eastern Europe.  The Germans have it right but it may be too afraid to complain to their lord masters the USA.  World war 3 will be upon us soon to lower the population as Mr. Kissenger dictated.  

What a world!!!  The citizenry are not interested and as they sleep this world will become one.

Very true. It's good that US sended tanks to Latvia. Russia always attacks weaker neighbours, that's its gangster way. Fortunately Russia according to Stratfor prediction is doomed (https://www.stratfor.com/forecast/decade-forecast-2015-2025), but before fall, it can make a lot of damage.

US had to fight with communism, terrorists. Don't put all US military interventions in one bag. Iraq war was clearly a big mistake. No less than 500 000 people lost their lives because of it. And barbaric ISIS was created as a consequence of Iraq destabilization. But you shouldn't judge your own country too harshly. It's easy to be wise AFTER the fact.

I have a novel idea.  How about the Russians stop supplying the rebels and the United States stay the hell out of Ukraine?  You know.....like both the Americans and the Russians start respecting international borders and stop trying to see who can pee the farthest.  Even sit down with the Ukraines and everybody talk things out instead of killing people and destroying stuff.  Maybe start over with a completely honest election overseen by the United Nations and everybody live with the results.  Just an idea.

I would totally support this and tell every Republican I know to support it too.  This country is going to war itself to death if we don't slow things down.  I think Putin's playing with fire too.  The Russians and the Americans have got to stop listening to all the BS their politicians throw out there.  If would be different if Obama and Putin would be going into battle like a Trojan general but these fucks would get to stay home and watch the fighting on a wide screen TV.

The very cheapness of the propaganda sold by these Latvian interlopers for the Kiev Kartofel Korps somehow leaves the reader embarrassed for their weak efforts. Such a low quality product and giving no attempt to refresh.

After 25 years they still conflate Russia with USSR. Maybe they also refer to Mr. Mugabe's nation as Rhodesia.

Funny how they never tell that Holodomor (which happened under Georgian rule of USSR) starved Ukrainians and Russians and Kazakhs. They seem to forget that in the group of former Soviet republics, Russia is also a member.

The current state of propaganda led by some has reached a point of self destruction.

Russia is not the biggest threat on Earth. She merely knows what kind of hell the banksters have in store for mankind. She lived in that hell through eighty years of communism and post-Soviet austerity and chaos from which she has only now recovered sufficiently to pose a real threat to them.

Among the tortures she was subjected to was the Soviet famine of 1932-33 (which killed millions throughout the Soviet Union, not just in Little Russia)---covered up by the banksters while the Soviet Union was still a useful pawn and interesting lab experiment in central planning, and then trumpeted as Russophobic propaganda when Russia double-crossed them.

The banksters are the biggest threat to mankind, by far. Russia is the only European country lifting a finger to stop them undoing Christian civilization in Europe.

But go on, explain again what your grandmother claimed a drunken Russian soldier did to her. (Answer: what she gladly did with every Kraut in a uniform.)

The saddest component of all of this is the fact the US in all its grand accumulated moral authority (cough) having "won" the Cold War, could have injected valuable resources into a newly birthed Ukraine post 1991 and built a stable state integrated with the West.

Instead the West squandered all that time and money to dismantle the industry and agriculture of a great state that would have - could have been a beacon for post Soviet economic success and inclusion.

Instead we got them hooked on cheap debt like a junkie and then literally installed a Nazi wrecking crew.

Frankly the same can be said of post-Soviet Russia and the intentional quagmire of keeping Russia Europe's sick cousin.

Thanks Larry Summers.

Europe needs to throw the US out and end NATO. This is such bullshit. For all of the Europeans that post on here, not all of us Americans are fucking drooling brain-dead morons. The fucking tribe runs the USA, the people have nothing to do with it. Most people are not aware because they are too busy trying to make end meet. Waking up takes a lot of time and research. You are not going to wake anyone up by telling them Israelis blew up the world trade center. People need to figure this out for themselves. We can help them if they are open to it, but many people just aren't able to do the research to figure this out. Europe is the home base for the global zionist satanists, or whatever you choose to call them. There are no Rothschild's in the US. Our traitors in the US are puppets of the big boys in Europe. Europe needs to clean house to. Not only does the US need to end the Fed, but Europeans need to end the EU central bank and the bank of England. This is not just a fight for Americans. The entire world needs to come together on this one. It's only our criminal governments that start wars between people. Most people will get along with each other. It's in everyone's mutual benefit to do so. We do not need governments. We'll get along just fine without them.

Insanity is watching this all happen, and NOT doing anything to stop it all.

When a farking areshole like that satanic/luciferian evil rottenchildziofreak speaks to Russian aggression like he did the other day, this is a blatant in your face proclamation to all the moneygod freakasaureses that there is going to be moar woar so HE and his ilky slimy family can profit from moar death, and destruction.

The fact that the world watches the march towards total annihilation is stupid, and total ignorance of the highest degree. If ANY nations sheeple sit and watch this build up towards the evil atrocious illegal world war like this and does absolutely nothing to stop it, then there is no need to make out post-death wills, for every living thing on the planet will die off leaving these lizards underground for another thousand years. Humanity will get what it deserves and those who propagate these illegal and unjust wars for the banksters profits will pay the heaviest price first! It might take moar than that 1,000 year amount of time to allow for the planet to return to some sort of liveable environment.

Hey! What's on TV? And, my ipod, lord sauron calls me. Duhhhhh. Time to go be a stupid mind washed sheeple for the greater glory of the banksters and satans profits from moar war!!!

...the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) today states that the Kremlin was “stunned” yesterday after Minister Sergey Lavrov endured a nearly one-hour tirade from US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland [photo top left] who, among other claims, “raged” that former Vice President Richard “Dick” Cheney was in charge of the United States, not President Barack Obama.

According to this report, a “highly agitated” Secretary Nuland contacted Minister Lavrov yesterday demanding that Russia immediately order Iran to return to US custody the 4 CIA agents arrested and detained for directing ISIS terror forces in Iraq.

Secretary Nuland, also, this report continues, “bluntly warned” Minister Lavrov that should Moscow ever again provide to France, or any other NATO nation, superior “electronic-technology”, and for the Russian air force to continue disabling US warships, she would further order the American military to “aggressively respond”.

Most astoundingly, though, of Secretary Nuland’s “rages”, this report says, was her reply to Minister Lavrov when asked by whose authority she was speaking, and to which she replied, “Cheney gives the orders here now, not Obama, and you assholes better get used to it!

So what's the joke? Latvia's ethnic Russians are overdue for liberation? Bring it on.

"Latvia" was invented by the Germans as a puppet state where they could park soldiers on St. Petersburg's doorstep, using as an excuse the fact that the locals were Lutherans like themselves and had a regional dialect already in irreversible decline in 1917. Its very existence is a threat to Russian security.

If any "Latvians" really don't care to be loyal Russians, they know where the ferries to Sweden are. The Russians who gladly deported "Latvian" Nazi collaborators to Siberia after the war won't miss them for a moment.

Here's a little US history lesson from an american to a clueless polak.  From the Stratfor link:

"International capitalism requires a low-wage, high-growth region for high rewards on risk capital. In the 1880s it was the United States, for example.."

This is simply flat-out false concerning the history of US wages.  As observers from Adam Smith onwards have noted, the US has had among the highest wages in the world, only beginning to decline relatively from the 1970's onwards to present. 

So foriegn investment capital, mostly from Britain, had to be looking for something else.  Before 1860, that was the cotton slavery, slaves obviously not earning much of a wage.  Cotton was the world petroleum commodity of its time, and cotton slavery directly made possible the first industrial revolution in Britain's textile industry.

Next it was the continential railroad agricultural-mining industrial complex, basically "Russian-style" raw material (including food) exports. Wages relatively high outside the ex-slave and defeated South - where little investment went - especially for skilled wage laborers connected to the railroad complex (hence the many strikes in that period).  In fact, *real* wages actually rose in the deflationary "long depression" 1873-1896, so Stratfor is totally FOS here.  Basically foriegn investment first made money off of labor stolen from slaves, then off of what could be extracted from the land stolen from the natives, using high wage labor by world standards of the time.  None of that corresponds to Stratfor's point concerning low wages and investment.

After that it was the petroleum-auto complex, and you know the rest.  It has only been since the 1970's that increasing masses of americans have experienced "European-style" low wages in a persistent way, forming now a new permanent low wage layer.  Not having prior experience with this goes a long way towards explaining their relatively clueless reaction to their novel historical condition - notice at least THAT fact was acknolwaged by Stratfor.

If one would like to foster a more holistic and accurate geostrategic perspective, one must expand the scope of his/her sources and premises beyond those preferred and promulgated by the tribe.

Stratfor is simply "the system" seeking to describe itself and rationalize its purposes to a yielding, uninquisitive public.

They won't be satisfied until they have us in WW3. They have to realize that Putin is not going to blink, and he has the vast majority of Slavic people on his side, even most Ukrainians. They know Putin has no intentions on seizing the Baltics, so why send military assistance there unless it is from there that they plan on launching their first leg of attacks. Study 1941. Field Marshal Von Leeb swept through the Baltics to within sight of Leningrad in the course of just three months, even with divisions being siphoned off his command to be attached to other fronts. My guess is that they are trying to deny the Russian Navy any direct ports outside of their Arctic bases.The one base they have in old Konigsberg should be over run in short order.
