NATO Launches "Wide-Scale" War Games Near Russian Border, Creates "Line Of Troops"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Washington looks to be throwing more than the full faith and credit of the US government behind Ukraine. On the heels of news that the US is set to guarantee a Ukrainian international bond issue (while Greek pensioners implicitly subsidize the country’s natural gas exports), NATO is in the midst of conducting large scale military maneuvers along the Russian border in a move Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says encourages “Kiev to pursue a military solution.” Over the course of 10 days, NATO will parade 120 combat vehicles across the region in an effort to prove how quickly the West can confront perceived Russian aggression. Here’s more from Military News:

The [Russian] ministry warned that it hopes Europe "does see the risk of unconditionally following advice from U.S. generals and will not opt for approaches that will rule out the risk of a slide towards a military confrontation between Russia and NATO."

 

While the U.S. Army acknowledges the convoy's movement is "a highly visible demonstration of U.S. commitment to its NATO allies," Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, the commander of U.S. Army Europe, insists "the focus should be on what is the desired end state, and can we get there using diplomatic and economic pressure and support."

So basically, the US is saying the following: “...although we’re intent on showing just how quickly we can deploy our forces in the event an armed confrontation becomes necessary, we hope you’ll see this for what it is which is our best effort demonstrate that we long for a peaceful solution.” We’ll let you judge for yourself how committed the West is to a peaceful resolution (note the US soldier teaching the small child how to fire a high caliber weapon): 

And the US is particularly proud of the fact that it has created a wall of troops along the Russian border:

Meanwhile, US officials don’t understand why anyone would see this as hypocritical. As RT reports, the US State Department’s press official Jeff Rathe “would disagree” with the notion that the US is conductig precisely the types of exercises for which it has previsously condemned Russia: 

When asked why the US was condemning Russian exercises inside Russia, State Department press official Jeff Rathke told RT no such statement had ever been made.

 

While the US has not criticized every military drill conducted by the Kremlin, last August State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Russia’s aviation exercises are “provocative and only serve to escalate tensions.”

 

“Wouldn’t US and NATO maneuvers on Russian borders, at a time when the West and Russia are at odds over the crisis in Ukraine, also “raise tensions?” asked AP diplomatic correspondent Matt Lee.

 

“We would disagree with that,” replied Rathke.

Indeed. 

In the meantime, Moscow isn’t particularly pleased with Denmark’s eight month old move to join NATO’s missile defense shield, as Russia’s Ambassador to Denmark Mikhail Vanin subtly warned that joining the effort would subject Danish ships to strikes by Russian nuclear missiles and besides, the effort would ultimately be in vain as Moscow has nukes capable of infiltrating the West’s defenses. Here’s more from The Telegraph:

“I don’t think that Danes fully understand the consequence if Denmark joins the American-led missile defence shield. If they do, then Danish warships will be targets for Russian nuclear missiles,” said Mikhail Vanin, the Russian ambassador to Denmark, to the Jyllands-Posten newspaper.

 

“Denmark would be part of the threat against Russia. It would be less peaceful and relations with Russia will suffer. It is, of course, your own decision - I just want to remind you that your finances and security will suffer. At the same time Russia has missiles that certainly can penetrate the future global missile defence system,” Mr Vanin said.

*  *  *

It would certainly appear from the above that geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe are now running at a fever pitch and with Washington prone to adopting an extra defensive position thanks to what appear to be shifting economic alliances among its staunchest allies, we wouldn’t expect the posturing to die down on either side in the foreseeable future.

Having been near the Grafenwöhr training area in the Oberpfalz a lot over the past weeks people tell me the `Muricans do artillery and tank training on the shooting ranges there like never been seen (heard) in decades. Something huge is going on there. The Yanks are on the war-path, no doubt about that.

I doubt that Russian fears of a first strike have declined as the Americans try to convince Europeans that the ABM systems they possess are 100% effective.

Perhaps Blythe Masters can come back to help create some Nuclear Annihilation Default Swaps (NADS) to help take the risk element out of the markets.

You've got to have NADS if you are going raise the stakes this high...

I think Breedhate's plan, Stooge, is to give the entire world one big ass f*cking. The satanic pedophiles that control USSA foreign policy like to dream  big.

Moreover, something must be really going wrong in the shadow derivatives markets, for the western banksters to push so hard for war.

If there is a silver lining to this mess, it is that the USSA claim that the Missile Shield was designed to protect Europe against Iranian missiles is exposed as a total fraud.  I hope the Europeans are not dumb enough to believe that USSA missiles will protect them from a Russian retaliatory strike after the USSA tries to pre-emptively attack Russia.

American red neck war monger Generals, panting to spill young men's blood, to improve their careers.

Biggest killer of young American military men is Sociopaths like Breedlove, sending their boys to fight, on behalf of bankers' Petrodollars and Oil. So Joe Biden's son can run a Natgas company in Donbass.

Breedlove spent his career in the air force, as an instructor, far far away from battle, itching to get army boots on the ground. 

Breedlove should waddle out to the battlefield himself, maybe Putin would throw his fat ass to the mat. 

What patriotism.

Latina Lover: "Breedhate is just a stooge, a minion carrying out orders. The real warmonger criminals are the banksters. "

That's a commonly repeated sentiment, but the fact is - the greedy fat old men who are the banksters don't pull the triggers and push the nuke war buttons. A lot of folks who are the actual blind order followers, better start to pull their heads outta their asses. They're not gonna have a 'career' or a pension if they help blow up the fukin' world. Even ex- h.s. school jocks and 'dumb stupid animals used as pawns in foreign policy' should be able to figure that out.

I suspect that they declined, then shot way back up again.  Those interviews show that, after the whole Cuban Missile crisis, the Soviets were very rational behind the scenes.  It's kind of funny, Castro was pressuring the USSR to launch a strike against the US back in the '80s until the Soviets sent some of their scientists into Cuba to explain what the ecological consequences for Cuba would be even if not one bomb fell on them.  Castro turned around real quick on that one. 

 

Oh well, look at it on the bright side:  If we go to war, should there be a period where it remains conventional, everybody who would impose martial law would be overseas. 

Sat, 03/21/2015 - 20:02 | 5914180 ZerOhead

It will remain conventional unless the side that is losing decides they don't want to lose anymore. Either that or one of the two sides don't trust the other side NOT to launch an advantageous and possibly decisive first fucking strike.

So Castro was pressuring Khrushchev to launch while the Joint Chiefs were pressuring Kennedy to launch... what could have possibly gone wrong?

Although today we have much safer 'tactical nukes' that are so low in yield that nobody could possibly care if they were used. The battlefield commanders don't even require formal authorization for their use.

Besides... it's more Europes problem anyway...

The question is not whether there will be war (there will be lots of it) but, what kind of war. And who will fight whom?

Once the legal monopoly of armed force, long claimed by the state, is wrested out of its hands, existing distinctions between war and crime will break down……

The urban crime will develop along racial, religious, social, and political lines.

Listen Escrava. There will not be war between the West and East. Even if there was, it is nothing to worry about because it would be final, absolute. The only time to worry in this situation would be if the war wasn't nuclear because that would mean both sides are compliant in a population decrease.

This is all posturing for the real war which will take place in Syria. Russia knows this that is why it is looking for an alternative Mediterranean sea port. Assad is next, not Putin.

Drummond,

You missed Kaplan’s “armed force, long claimed by the state, is wrested out of its hands” point…..

All while, kindly, agreeing “The only time to worry in this situation would be if the war wasn't nuclear because that would mean both sides are compliant in a population decrease.”

Which was exactly Kaplan’s point “The crime will develop along racial, religious, social, and political lines.”

 

Now, about going nuclear: It will happen, eventually. Remember Japan?

@Wolferl

Hope the yanks are no longer using 15 year old charge bags as they were back in 1971 when I was in Rommels old OP at Grafenwöhr directing fire. Our 155 rounds were landing a 1000 meters short of target and tearing up the tank pads (used for sighting in the tank guns) - 175s with vt fuse flying too low over the hill and popping over our heads, 90mm mortar rounds landing 20 meters from the OP and nobody could figure out who was shooting them. A tank crew blew themselves up and destroyed the tank.

It was a massive cluster fuck. And people wonder why I am skeptical of our American fighting ability. And now the average soldier has an IQ 15 points lower than what we had back then. Yet somehow we believe that the Ruskies are quaking in their boots with fear.

I´m out of the German army for almost 20 years too now, but from what i read Grafenwöhr training area has been completely refurbished and modernized over the past 10 years and has the most advanced shooting ranges for artillery and tanks of the US army in Europe now.

 

And if you have total air superiority you don´t need to be too smart to win a war on the ground. If not , well ....

I arrived in Berlin two years after the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia. Budeswehr officers told me that their artillery batteries and mech infantry batallions in Bavaria took off for the Czech border immediately without waiting for orders and were dug in along the Czech border within a few hours with their 8 inch gun tubes locked for tactical nuke rounds (which I also found out were guarded in the custody of the Bundeswehr and not by us Yanks). In contrast, it took the US Europe command three days to decide what to do in response.

All of which reinforced my belief that those of us in the Berlin Brigade were there to be slaughtered so as to provoke a war and not actually to fight a war. Now that the U.S. troop count is down to about 100,000 from about 450,000 back then, I suspect that they might be tethered goats now just as I was back then.

My advice - you Europeans are on your own - as your military has understood for the past 50 years at least.

Don't screw up and allow something to start that you can't win on your own.

Lol, yeah, pretty famous event, i knew a colonel of the German army who was commander of a Panzer battalion back then, already up for promotion to general, who was the first one to show up with his Leopard 1 tanks at the Czech border just two hours after the invasion of the Warsaw pact. He was accused of acting without order and insubordination and ended his career as a commander of a medical battalion years later. But he told me he had his orders from the German defense minister, but the US military didn´t liked that so the story of the "insubordinate German officers" was invented.

It seams the heat is also being turned on in Georgia, "thousands march in Tiblisi..." Hmmm wasn't the dyke Victoria "Fuck the EU" Nuland there couple of weeks ago, and also in Azerbejian.  There has been a lot of tension between Azerbejian and Armenia (where Russia has 2 bases) recently over the frozen conflict of Nagorno karabakh.

US Combat Forces, FBI and CIA in Ukraine: Vice President Biden Congratulates Poroshenko for Violating Minsk Peace Agreement

Global Research, March 20, 2015

Obama continues using Kiev junta proxies to wage war on Donbass. He’s gone all-out to sabotage multiple peace efforts spearheaded by Russia.

He didn’t wage war to quit. He’s supplying Kiev with heavy weapons, munitions and other US aid.

US combat forces are in Ukraine working directly with its military. CIA and FBI operatives infest Kiev.

On March 18, Joe Biden called Poroshenko. He congratulated him for violating Minsk.

It calls for granting Donbass special status autonomous rule. Draft Kiev legislation designates it “temporarily occupied territories.”

A White House statement said Biden “welcomed the (parliament’s) adoption of implementing measures relating to the law on special status for certain areas of eastern Ukraine…”

He lied saying legislation adopted complies with terms stipulated under “September 2014 and February 2015 Minsk agreements.”

Kiev continues violating their letter and spirit with full US support and encouragement.

Good old-fashioned greed: e.g. Monsanto wants rights to Ukie land for growing more Franken-foodz on the super-cheap and NATO wants to spend more money on toys along that border; no matter where you look, you can trace the money back to the 0.01% and their parasitic draining of the real economy via government (whether mandated at home, induced abroad, or executively ordered).

You ever think that this Ukranian situation is just to distract the Rooskies from what they are about to do in Syria and Israel?

That is my guess, Obama makes a secret deal with Iran.

Nobody knows but Obama and his subordinates what the deal is, curious isn't it.

Reports of Iran a Syrian troops in the Golan Heights in the guise of fighting ISIS.

Obama, contrary to what most people think here, hates Israel.

Remember Obama going to speak to Islam in Egypt shortly after he was electected?

Now we are going to see what Obama will do now that he was unable to unseat Bibi.

When that happens, Ukraine will be Russia's once again.

The US has no intention of moving troops to Ukraine, it is all show.

Bullshit.

Obama and Netanyahoo are on the same page. Any "disagreement" between them is strictly for show.

Any "deal" with Iran is to soften up them up so they let their guard down and once they do they will get taken out soon afterward (the compliance part will make it easier to target the real labs Iran has).

I personally don't think they will fall for it, no matter how often the trolls and propaganda from the MSM repeat the same meme.

Obama is just reading from the script that was provided to him by the Zionists. Its all preparation for what is coming. Unfortunately for the Anglo Zionists, its probably not going to go as planned.
