Notice the number of German flags … in Poland.
“… capable of being deployed within just two months…”
Within “just” two months?
“… to attack Russia.“
Attacking Russia with just 300,000 troops?
How long did it take for 1000 Russian troops to be battle ready with their tanks in East Germany (GDR)?
15 minutes! Now that is a response time!
A former lieutnant-colonel (Oberstleutnant) told me this 16 years ago. He also told me that these ordinary Russian soldiers were in absolute top form and comparable to special forces.
Just like our troops, … oh, wait a minute …
– The US Military Has “Never Been Fatter”
If I remember it correctly, then only the best of these 1000 Russian soldiers got (I believe it was) 2 weeks of holiday at home as reward.
War with Russia, anybody? What could possibly go wrong?
– NATO Places 300,000 Troops On “High Alert” In Readiness For Confrontation With Russia:
Submitted by Alex Christoforou of The Duran
NATO a preparing a military force of up to 300,000 personnel, capable of being deployed within just two months to attack Russia.
As the world remains fixated on the outcome of Tuesday’s US elections, NATO continues its aggressive troop build up around Russia.
With each passing day, the constant NATO activity is looking more and more like a preparation for full scale conflict with Russia. Something that would become a very real possibility should Hillary Clinton make it to the White House.

Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg announced that NATO member nations are at this very moment putting hundreds of thousands of troops in a state of high alert, in an effort to deter the fantasy threat from Russia. Stoltenberg said…
“We have seen Russia being much more active in many different ways.”
“We have seen a more assertive Russia implementing a substantial military build-up over many years; tripling defence spending since 2000 in real terms; developing new military capabilities; exercising their forces and using military force against neighbours.”
“We have also seen Russia using propaganda in Europe among NATO allies and that is exactly the reason why NATO is responding. We are responding with the biggest reinforcement of our collective defence since the end of the Cold War.”
Adam Thomson, the outgoing permanent representative to Nato, estimates that at present, it would take the military alliance 180 days to deploy a force of 300,000, and that speeding up this rate is of top importance.
The measures come in response to Russia flexing its military might abroad, allegedly conducting cyber attacks on Washington and holding nuclear war drills at home.
Last week, Moscow was seen as deliberately antagonising Nato by sending hundreds of paratroopers to a Serbian airbase despite Nato holding disaster relief exercises just 150 miles away in Montenegro.
Putin’s decision to hold military drills so close to Nato’s emergency exercises in Montenegro – which went ahead despite Moscow’s drills – was seen as a brazen stand-off between both sides.
Igor Sutyagin, an expert at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies, said: “Russia wants to show that it can intimidate NATO… and NATO is saying to Russia, ‘If you show up, we’ll be there as well’.”
Meanwhile, Russian authorities have been accused of attempting to pervert the democratic process of the US presidential election by hacking into Democrat emails and sharing findings with vigilante publishers such as WikiLeaks and DC Leaks.
In summary, NATO justifies its military build up around Russia as a response to:
- Alleged Russian cyber attacks to influence the US elections…allegations made by the honest and trustworthy Clinton campaign, and half heartedly commented on by US Intelligence Czar James Clapper, a man who lied under oath to the American public.
- Russia’s military exercises in its own country. I repeat, military exercises within its own borders.
- Russia sending hundreds of paratroopers to long time ally Serbia.
- “Russia using propaganda in Europe among NATO allies”. Whatever that means? Its cryptic and nonsensical…and of course we know the US and NATO allies never ever engage in propaganda against Russia, or other nations for that matter.
