Defense Ministry: the United States launched a whole division near the Russian borders

An entire division of the US Armed Forces has actually deployed near the Russian borders, said Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov.

According to him, the past Russian-Belarusian exercises Zapad-2017 were accompanied by unprecedented media hysteria in Europe about their “non-transparency”, “hybrid” operations of the Armed Forces, “hordes” of the military, which had already received an order to “invade”, and also about that Russia left its "strike force" in Belarus.

But they were especially different in their "exposures" and Russophobia was missed by NATO and EU representatives represented by the leadership of the Baltic countries and Poland. Polish Defense Minister Anthony Matserevich even managed to declare the need to deploy at least two US divisions in his country for "protection against external threats."

- stressed Konashenkov.

Meanwhile, in Poland and the Baltic countries, against the background of the West-2017 exercise, there was a “rotation” of the 3rd armored brigade of the US Armed Forces deployed according to the plan of Operation Atlantic Decision. All equipment of this brigade (87 tanks M1A1 Abrams, heavy self-propelled howitzers M109 Paladin, 144 BMD Bradley, and about a hundred more units of vehicles) should have remained. And the personnel of the 3rd Armored Brigade, in order not to violate the NATO-RF Founding Act, signed with Russia in 1997, were to be replaced by servicemen of the 2nd Armored Brigade of the US Armed Forces

- declared Konashenkov.

He added that against the background of hysteria about the planned military invasion of Russia, the 2017-I armored brigade of the USA arrived in Poland "quietly" directly from Poland and deployed there (Boleslawiec, Dravsko-Pomorsk, Torun, Skvjovina and Zagan) also with his armored vehicles.

At the same time, in Poland and the Baltic republics, the abandoned military equipment of the 3 of the American armored brigade did not disappear, the Defense Ministry spokesman said.

Thus, contrary to all statements by NATO and the United States about the "insignificance" of troops being pushed to the Russian borders, the brigade is now de facto deployed, but a mechanized division of the US military, where you can transfer trained personnel from the nearest American base in Europe in two hours Ramstein, West Germany)

- stressed Konashenkov.

All the hysteria about the "Russian threat" from the "West-2017" - fraudulently played the information curtain of the operation of the Pentagon. So who is preparing the aggression? "

One division is not a threat. Even 20 is not a threat, and if Konashenkov thinks otherwise, then let him explain why a million-strong army is deployed at China on the Russian-Chinese border ??? Why are they afraid that we will attack them or something ??? It bothers me a lot more. Stand to grab a piece on occasion. Do not go to a fortuneteller. And here is Poland. This is far, and few of them. Very little.

These are not statements, but a statement of fact. For several years they have been saying in plain text that NATO, led by the United States, will create advanced deployment bases near the western borders of Russia, concentrating equipment and weapons on them so that only troops will be dispatched at hour X.
It can be done so that this staff, upon arrival, felt like a Holodran. But this is only possible if a preventive strike is inflicted on these bases, however, to inflict it is the same as putting the label of the aggressor on yourself. So everything is complicated here.
I don’t understand what kind of “political support” you are writing about - the enemy is preparing for war, so you need to prepare for defense and not tryndet.

Hey. I talked about "open source" information. In fact, along the entire border of the USSR there were just half a million enemy troops (Germans, Romanians, Italians, Hungarians, Bulgarians, Czech Slovaks and a little Spaniards - almost, as now, half of the European Union). Only then did we have the so-called "allies" who are now enemies (NATO).

This is only the beginning. A significant grouping has also been deployed on the southern flank in Romania. In the north, the bulk will move to the Baltic states when the apartments are ready. Guess where the backbone of the southern strike group will move.

They have no offensive capabilities against us, even if there are 5 divisions. Yes, and 25, too. American politics is like a poker game. Without good cards, they bluff in black. Only this bluff will cost them dearly. In essence, this is an arms race. They spend money on it exorbitantly.

[Topotun]

It depends on what goals to pursue. In fact, the Americans just need a big war in Europe, and it is absolutely important who wins. They will make good money on this and will be able to overcome the coming financial crisis. So it was in the First World War, so it was in the Second World War. Will Russia be defeated? It doesn’t matter, she will be weakened enough so that she can talk with her from a position of strength. Many people will die in Europe? As they say - incidental damage. They don’t care.

You imagine their military aggression as a classic military company --- they appointed D-Day and threw tanks into battle. But it’s much more complicated. They managed to draw us into the war in the BV and even judging by the latest events there --- the main events are ahead .
The situation in our Far East is also stable, only at first glance stable, but meanwhile, without the transfer of troops from our European part, there is clearly not enough strength there even to successfully conduct a small regional war. With China, too, everything is muddled, a lot of articles on how we will “bring down” dollar and drive the Yankees, but China is more connected with America, and their whole conflict lies in the fact that they can’t share the world’s resources. The deal between them promises us a war on 2 fronts. And not according to the canons of the Second World War by will, we broke the backbone of all opponents), but rather in a situation of several wars of varying degrees of intensity on our borders, which can lead to a very serious internal political crisis in terms of the sum of factors: the economy, the interests of the elites, and the nationalism of our Federation.
Therefore, conventionally, “NATO tanks” are going to start engines not before, but at the final stage of the modern big war of the 21st century, where Twitter and Facebook are equated with the power of several armies or a group of fronts.

[Berber]

In Soviet times, there was such a science of Political Economy. We do not participate in conflicts as in the USSR. At the end of the conflict, Russia will have bonuses in Syria. Already have a return. Arms contracts for 20 billion for example.
When the United States planned various sanctions against us, the oil swing, etc., it did not take into account a very important factor. This factor is the structure of the economy. If we had a pre-perestroika market structure, we would have been much harder. And since we have a market structure, the economy damped some of the consequences.
What am I doing? You just don’t have to calculate the conflict statically. The fact is that the sets of answers are varied and the answer is sure to follow. Again, the doctrine has changed, we can use nuclear weapons in any scenario threatening us

Forgot how Baghdad fell? The invasion of Baghdad was carried out by the forces of the 1st Division of the US Marine Corps and the 3rd Infantry Division, equipped with M1 Abrams tanks, Bradley combat vehicles and M113 armored personnel carriers. They were opposed by 36 Iraqi Republican Guard soldiers, who had established themselves in a circle of bunkers 000 miles from Baghdad, with the support of Asad Babil tanks and heavy artillery. Given that the invasion of Iraq began on March 30, 19, Baghdad was surrounded on April 2003, and Baghdad fell on April 3. Saddam also underestimated the Americans.

Unfortunately we Americans are not Arabs. Nast has a different set of weapons. And the trump card is the nuclear triad.

This trump card will become irrelevant in 10 years when the Americans deploy the entire missile defense system around the world, thereby taking Russia into the ring, the Americans two years preparing for the war against Iraq. They minimize risks and maximize the chances of victory. You do not believe in fairy tales that missile defense against Iran and North Korea?

Today the slogan is appropriate: "If you want peace, get ready for war." The game of "hide and seek" continues, but its goals are all the more contrasting.

And do not bother with the funeral, the crematorium blazes all over the ball.

And why not deploy it in Iraq .... Although in Iraq it will be quickly torn to pieces, and in Europe it’s safe, no one will attack the division, the tanks will not burn.

Almost a division near the borders of Russia. Is it a lot or a little? The US mechanized division is about 16000 people, about 240 tanks, about 160 gun mounts of various calibers. More than 150 ATGM systems, for 700 units of armored vehicles ... etc. If five thousand barmaley Syria nightmares .... And add here the Armed Forces of Poland, Romania? It seems that the Shtatovs decided to seriously organize a war in Europe.

Bluff. The USA needs a big war in Europe, but .... without the USA. That is, in the case of a sheher they will pull the personnel to Rammstein and further, and leave the equipment "because of eternal Jewish generosity" (C)

[basmach]

Here the calculation is not only for Europe (although the whole arrangement of troops is very similar to 41, and now it’s not 500 versts to Peter, but 150, and it’s much closer to Moscow). But to do what Hitler did not succeed in — to strike from two sides — west and east — this will be the calculation. At the same time, it doesn’t matter what happens in the east, the main thing is to link the troops there and destroy the production capacities (and goodbye to Sushka and Kashka). And there is only one hope for China - that they will not want to snatch something out of the blue.

Ms humpback merged Germany and the Baltic states. Our Soviet Supreme Council condemned the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact on the basis of COPIES !!!! copies of Karl !!! The original was not found. And we still say something about ukrov !! Is it ... and we continue to do this about the Soviet-Finnish war of 39 years! Without defeating the Finns (and essentially the Germans there), Leningrad would have fallen under the blows of the Germans from Finland. and with SZ. They joined the Baltic states, which made it possible to keep the Germans in the eastern theater. One must not understand this. The Baltic states, after a coup in RI and a gift to the pro-Western "elites" of these independence territories, became a spy hub for Western intelligence services against Russia. Gorbachev generally finished school, after all, it wasn't 500 years ago?
Grandson of Bismarck, infantry officer fought in Russia in the II MV. Captured. Already living in West Germany, he gave an interview to our newspaper. When asked about the Pact, he said that if there hadn’t been a Pact, Germany would have easily captured Leningrad, but the Baltic countries slowed down the Wehrmacht. Here is an assessment of a military man.
Snot about human rights, this is a screen. They were not in Korea, Vietnam and further. There, people have no rights, and most importantly, life. Now Syria and DLNR. There are no people there. And hybrid warfare is not the invention of our General Staff, but the Pentagon.

[NKT]

In response, we will deploy two new Iskander brigades.

I don’t know if we will have time, within five minutes, to bring our Iskanders to positions and strike at the places where NATO forces are concentrated, as well as their infrastructure? Would an increase in the number of missile brigades be an adequate solution to the threat that NATO poses for us?

“At about 10 o’clock the Russians in this sector of the front opened strong artillery-mortar fire, which was so effective and accurate that at the very first hour regiment control and communication with the division headquarters were lost. The fire was directed mainly at observation and command posts and headquarters. I was amazed at how exactly the Russians knew the location of our headquarters, command and observation posts. My regiment was completely paralyzed. "
