Speaking to the Senate Armed Services Committee, Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti, the NATO Supreme Allied Commander-Europe, argued that the US needs to send even more troops and warships to Europe to “stay ahead of Russia.”
Even though Russia’s military spending is actually scheduled to decrease in the next few years, Gen. Scaparrotti argued that the “growing” Russian threat justified even more US spending on Europe. This has, of course, been a common argument for Pentagon officials, and is why the US such a massive number of troops in Eastern Europe in the first place.
The Pentagon seems determined to continue using Russia as an excuse to increase military spending going forward, or eventually start a huge war with a military confrontation there.
To that end. the general is also confirming that the US is considering sendingyet more arms to Ukraine to use to fight Russia. Ukraine’s leadership has repeatedly predicted the start of World War 3 with Russia.
Though the arms to Ukraine are nominally meant to be used to fight ethnic Russian rebels, they include anti-tank weapons, and the new shipment would be focused on naval arms, clearly not meant for the landlocked “civil war.”
Time for the UN and NATO to do something about EU / Russia B.S.
Complete bullshit, Trump has his tongue down Putin’s throat. A complete fairy tale story to throw everybody off. Trump came goddamn close to building a trump hotel in Russia.
Until the lying SOB got caught. So many lies, so little time. Putin has loaned Trump millions of dollars, under the table.
The commies think we’re all idiots.
The commies are right.
Cant argue with that!
Sans Trenchers.
“Ukraine’s leadership has repeatedly predicted the start of World War 3 with Russia.”
Beware the Ides of March.
