A freight train carrying a whole column of American armored vehicles has been caught on camera in Latvia. Dalbe Railway Station, where the train was reportedly spotted several days ago, is less than 300km from the Russian border.
The train was carrying at least 38 vehicles and several semitrailers, including eight Bradley Fighting Vehicles, nine M113 Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs), four petrol tankers, Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Trucks (HEMTTs), High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs), an M88 Hercules Armory recovery vehicle, a couple of trucks, some tactical engineering and medical vehicles, at least four containers and a pair of railcars with ammunition.
Latvian authorities have confirmed to Delfi news portal that the train spotted on December 7 was loaded with the vehicles of the 1st Cavalry Division of the US and the train was heading to Lithuania.
American armored vehicles have been sent to the Baltic States and Poland for military drills and are set to remain for the constant training of local troops and rotation of US forces.

More fighting vehicles will be pre-positioned at US military bases in Germany. Deployment of additional hardware to Baltic States and Poland goes on within the framework of the US ‘Operation Atlantic Resolve’ effort, established to reassure American allies in Eastern Europe anxious about a“resurgent Russia.”

These look like the tanks that were rolling on train across our country a few months ago over the summer. I guess they finally arrived in Latvia. Almost as if they knew war was going to break ahead of time. 😉
Russians are a bunch of VIKINGS for G-d’s sake!!!! 140,000,000 of them. What on earth do these numb skulls think they are going to do to those people? They will be every bit as tough a nut to crack as Germany was in WW1. Russia has tasted freedom and they are NOT going to be conquered by the Quire West. No Way!
Those soldiers need to come home right now even if they have to mutany to do it. We have trouble brewing in the White House with that NUT with his finger poised ON THE BUTTON.
