The Pentagon redirected funds to “contain Russia” on the wall with Mexico

The Pentagon decided to redirect some of the funds allocated to "contain the aggression of Russia" to build a wall on the border with Mexico. The corresponding order was given by US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, Bloomberg reports.

The head of the Pentagon, Mark Esper, ordered that some of the funds allocated under several European programs within the framework of the European Security Initiative be redirected to the construction of fences on the US-Mexican border. Projects totaling $ 545 million will be stopped. As noted in the US military, half of the suspended projects were used by the Americans to "deter Russian aggression."

According to Bloomberg, in a memo to the US Department of Defense, the head of the Pentagon mentions several projects in European countries, including Norway, Germany, Spain and others. It is stated that these projects are not canceled, but suspended for an indefinite period.

These projects were postponed, not canceled, and only temporarily lose funding

- said Pentagon spokesman Christopher Sherwood.

The Pentagon did not explain when funding for suspended programs would be restored.

Note that this is not the first "borrowing" of the US allocated to Europe finance. Last year, Donald Trump withdrew nearly $ 800 million from a military-political deterrence program in Russia. The funds were also used to finance the construction of a wall on the land border with Mexico.

So I think .. Mexico needs to co-finance this construction and speed up the process .. what is happening there may turn out to be a paradise in comparison with the possible future of the states ..

Well, they will start digging tunnels - what will they do ?! The Americans had to build factories in Mexico, and not transfer production to China - there would be much less labor migrants.

Well, yes, that's just the Anglo-Saxons, the former Indians terribly hate and African Americans including .. No confidence in them !!
And China very well attracted money, technology, first the USSR (under Stalin), and then the West due to cheap labor .. Now there was an attempt to weaken China economically and morally, but ...

[Kasym]

And the capitalists of the Chinese Communists fell in love. And they didn’t care who anyone liked. The Germans wanted to build car factories in Mexico, but Trump happened ... It most likely depends on investment conditions - now many bourgeois Vietnamese communists fell in love ... Something like that.

Well, Vietnam remembers Russian and waits, as well as the Mujahideen of Afghanistan .. Everything goes in comparison! Business is business, but friendships are eternal and unbreakable, especially if fighting!

[Kasym]

In principle, I see no disagreement with you. The only moment that these walls will not help - then they will begin to "fight" with these tunnels, throwing out the next billions. I just meant that rich America just needs to help Mexico become more prosperous by creating jobs.
The size of the borders of Israel is one thing, the other is the USA and Mexico.

[Olddetractor]

The containment of Russia's virtual aggressor had to be postponed, because next to it was the real unrestrained Mexico!

[knn54]

-means for “containment of Russia”.
Is it on "Yatsenyuk's wall"?

Well, this is a world masterpiece, even "The Great Chinese" is not comparable.

Yes, they perfectly understand that nobody is going to attack them.

What are they collective farms there? Tell them already about the professional sheet.

[Stalllker]

Yeah and where Russia can buy it

[nobody111body]

half a milliard? —it is a laugh for smokers; Mexicans will break such a liquid fence with their feet; and the best thing is to return to Mexico its native states of California and Texas, well, or fork out for free and eternal help to the Mexicans; a heap of American Jews don’t peck the hens

[Sergej1972]

Mexicans these territories are mediocre about ... Why would it give them to the Americans? And how many years was the state of Mexico itself in the mid-19th century?

[Charik]

35yards of rubles - a hen of laughter? Even a handful of Russian Jews were probably not funny

[faterdom]

But what about Estonia? Who should she hope for now? To Georgia?

[Pandiurin]

Trump has more and more of his people on the team.
Esper promotes the Trump project with the construction of the wall to the detriment of Clinton's projects.
It’s interesting whether the parliament will tell them something, maybe they are too freely redistributing money for targeted projects ...

[gabonskijfront]

Viva Mexico.

[Charik]

Well done Trump, understands that Russia is not going to attack the geyropa, it’s better to protect your house from drugs from South America

[Well done]

It's even a shame! How did they forget about "aggressive" Russia? Let's miss you!

This is almost an insult! On the other hand, let's hope that these "projects" will starve to death while the Mexican wall is being built.

[NF68]

Someday you will get tired in this way, almost fighting the whole world, and everything will return to you with the accumulated interest.

[Ravik]

Transfer this money to me and I will not attack America ...

[Pvi1206]

That's right ... Russia cannot be restrained ... there is nothing to waste money ...

[Nyrobsky]

Well, everything, now that "unrestrained" Russia is "becoming aggressive" in the European courtyard so that the European refugees will rush to Africa with a counter flow.

On the same wave we think .. Interesting events are coming in the world community! The main thing for Russia to remain the way it has always been in its history ..

[APASUS]

How much has the West poured slop on the head of the USSR for the construction of the Berlin Wall? And now, the construction of diverse walls and restrictions is a sign of a civilized society. And the USA in the modern world is becoming more and more like a menagerie - a country built by labor, by the hands of migrants, on the money of migrants and against migrants!
So there!

[LeonidL]

Well now it’s worth waiting for cries and cries from the walls of Kukuev’s that they forgot and sold the first-line sufferers of defense against Putin all over the world.

Our military and gunsmiths do not finish! I am ashamed! Since for the USA we have become less scary than the Mexicans.

We got a chance to take advantage of the situation !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Scharnhorst]

Mexico for the USA in perspective as Ukraine for Russia. Decades later, when teeth break off about China and Russia, a new geopolitical enemy will be needed at hand.
