The head of the Pentagon named the purpose of the redeployment of troops to the borders of Russia

105

The partial withdrawal of the American military contingent from Germany does not mean that all units will leave Europe. On the contrary, they will be deployed closer to the borders of the Russian Federation.

This was stated by the United States Secretary of Defense Mark Esper in an interview on Fox News.



The head of the Pentagon said that the main purpose of the regrouping of American troops in Europe is to strengthen the presence near the Russian borders.

In this way, Esper argues, the United States is containing Moscow and strengthening the position of the North Atlantic Alliance:

We will redeploy more troops further east, closer to the Russian border, to contain them.

In total, 12 thousand American troops will be withdrawn from Germany. Of these, 6400 troops will return to the United States, while the rest will be relocated to other European countries. Thus, of the 36 thousand US military personnel in Germany, 24 thousand remained by the end of July.

The US Secretary of Defense claims that most NATO members reacted positively to Washington's decision to redeploy troops in Europe, which Donald Trump made in early June. They called the strengthening of the American contingent near the borders of the Russian Federation "a good step."

        Four reinforced battalions. In the three Baltic countries - one in each. And one in Poland. Each battalion is about 700 people. In total, about 3000 military personnel.

          This is not for attack. These are hostages ... whom, as NATO strategists believe, Russian troops will be afraid to touch ... the death of American servicemen will inevitably lead to a global war ... Naive.

The house is big, there is enough space for everyone. If anything, I can temporarily place the Tsakhal's battalion. It won't reach us. Well, maybe it will shake a couple of times. So - you are welcome! And there, you have so much desert that after the war unleashed by America there will be a desert. Only nuclear. And we have the Volga, forests, fields ...

                        Get away from the essence of the question. The Golan was used as a springboard for shelling and an offensive against Israel. Captured during the war unleashed by the aforementioned Arab countries. They have a right. As well as the Union to Kaliningrad.
                        Explore the history of the Arab-Israeli wars. And by the way, at the initial stage in the United States, the position “we support those who have oil” had an impact.

                        Yeah, little Finland. When the Reich was about to expand, drove a bunch of troops to the border. And here it was the USSR that gathered many divisions. And starting the offensive, he immediately founded a collaborationist government headed by Kuusinen. This is not an impromptu, prepared in advance. It was worth being expelled from the League of Nations, by the way.

                        Well, they did everything right. They took back a little of the territories. Not all the Finns have been walking around Karelia in their houses alive since the age of 18. Yes, at the negotiations in Berlin in 19, they were cut off from impudence to demand the Kola Peninsula. Well, they took a walk, killed using the acre them in Russia (by the way, mind you, none of the 14 countries that walk in Russia, after nowhere ruled out and punished them for nothing) Well, just think, the Finns killed the Russians in 4 years bezpredela. Well, the boy failed ... Our turn came. They, too, had governments planted in Karelia, you will admire in Olonets, Porosozero. Everywhere governments poked around.

                        Well, think about it, the Finns killed the Russians in 4 years without limit

                        It is unlikely that they killed more Russians than during the "Winter War", defending their territory. Worthy of respect, by the way, their losses are 5-6 times less. (Although this is still the result of the attitude of the Bolsheviks in their fighters).
                        Well, we did everything right and took back the little territories.

                        As the practice of further relationships has shown, it is not at all necessary to win someone in order to have beneficial contracts and influence. So this attempt is, in fact, a relic of past centuries.
                        by the way, mind you, none of the 14 countries that walked in Russia

                        In Russia, there have been 2 changes of power, the first is conditionally legitimate, but the second is an outright armed coup. Nobody considered the Bolsheviks to be Russia, but rather a kind of disease. The same Churchill. Having seized power in St. Petersburg and Moscow, the Reds began to impose it in the rest of the country, precisely from above. What predetermined the management structure in the future. The “local councils” were only executors with very limited powers.
                        The modern "vertical" is similar to an attempt to reproduce this system, IMHO.

                        The second power officially had the same number of rights as the first, exactly the same. Moreover, the second, unlike the first, agreed to sign at the AUCPB congress as well as privately Lenin for granting Finland independence whose representatives were sent to Russia by the authorities of France, Germany, etc. from which the representatives of Finland wanted to get official recognition of independence thereof. Having received the official recognition of independence by Russia and later of other countries, Finland immediately, following the results of the civil war, began expansion into the territory of East Karelia. More than 5 campaigns, violation of the peace treaty of 19 in Berlin. And killed "peaceful Finns" for four years more people than we did in the Finnish.
                        And about planting .. If the Bolsheviks had a minority of supporters, then there would be no talk of a coup as well as a prolonged resistance. I want to remind the Finnish contribution to the expansion of the British in the Baltic and northwest.
                        The Finns still got off easy, twice. In Stalin's place, I would wipe this nation off the face of the earth, at the root in memory of what they did on my land

                        the second, unlike the first

                        The second came precisely as a result of an armed coup (there is a separate question about the source of funding wink ) and she had to conquer (often - literally) Russia. 10 million losses in civil, more than 2 - left (a significant part of the intelligentsia, including Sikorsky and Zvorykin). Therefore, the Bolsheviks so easily scattered territories, the first goal then was - to impose their power on the remaining part.
                        And killed "peaceful Finns" for four years more people than we did in the Finnish.

                        I was talking about the Russians who were killed by the Finns later in a defensive war.

                        At 19, no one called the Finns to Petrozavodsk. We gave what they wanted, but it seemed to them not enough, just like Poland. And the Bolsheviks only picked up what had destroyed the provisional government and gave land so that at least they could not get out of the war. no one cares about Russians. Finns, yes! Israel is doing essentially the same thing - wringing out land for itself since 45 years. Systematically expanding them. They are invaders nothing more. And the civilian winners do not commit, they have nothing to do. And who left ... Well, apparently, they stopped baking French rolls, and the peasants to spread rot ...

                        They dispersed the Constituent Assembly, in which they did not receive a noticeable number of seats (in a predominantly peasant country, the majority were received by the SRs).

                        No, the Bolsheviks simply canceled the laws and courts. By introducing some ersatz instead of the latter. And the trial was carried out in the latter, I quote "being guided by revolutionary consciousness." What the arbitrariness meant. It was the atrocities that took place that prompted the same Sikorsky to emigrate. Of course, the Bolsheviks had no choice but to throw mud at those who had left.

                        And once again, the Bolsheviks had as many legal rights as the provisional government, which brought the country to the point with the help of this legislative assembly, while the Socialist-Revolutionaries, at the right moment, did not support their own word about the land, dug their own grave. - here you are in vain. Lenin announced the terror only by November 18, after the beginning of the intervention and the atrocities that the whites were doing in the occupied territories. Initially, the decree introduced a ban on the death penalty. Under the tsar, then, my friend, they were hanged and shot. And the Bolsheviks did not abolish laws and courts, they changed them. And Sikorsky and the like are just individuals who liked to live on slave labor of peasants and workers, that plowed for 12-16 hours a day. What did the king give the country? Maybe a 9-hour workday? Maybe gender equality? Or maybe he built children's camps, opened hospitals, schools, maternity hospitals? Maybe the tsar gave my grandfather to become a lieutenant colonel of the NKVD? (UMORA) Or he gave my uncle, me and my family 2 apartments ? Did you learn the German language for translators? Maybe the tsar defeated hunger by creating strategic grain reserves? Nope. With all the kings in all centuries and years there was famine and peasants. First of all, they planted bread from hunger and died for centuries. And I don’t need to weave nonsense about the famine of 23-32. About the hungry years of the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century, no one yells. But why? This is with the tsar, this is the norm. But the Bolsheviks are yes! It’s a sacred thing to raise a squeal. Nikolashka sold off all the key enterprises in investments that during WWI went sideways to him, as well as love to shoot at crows and cats.

            It is clear that not for attack. This is a blatant slap in the direction of Russia and a demonstration of their position. As well as the exercises at the Russian borders. it is an unambiguous message who is the enemy and who is the "friend".

    This article completely coincides with the opinion of the unerring Satanovsky. He outlined places of political tension that can serve as a springboard for a military conflict between Russia and NATO countries. First of all, according to Satanovsky, Eastern Europe can be considered so accurate for objective reasons. It is here that the interests of the leading geopolitical players of the region are concentrated.
    This is not only about Ukraine, Moldova or the Baltic countries, but also about Romania. Over the past few years, preconditions have already emerged in this place for a future confrontation between Russia and the West, which threatens to escalate into a full-scale world war. It will be caused by long-term accumulated contradictions, which have not been resolved by diplomatic methods.
    As signs of preparation for such events, Satanovsky calls the emergence of Russophobic sentiments in European countries, which become a formal reason for uniting large masses of people in social movements and even political parties. Such a pumping of the population resembles the notorious events of the 20s and 30s of the last century in Germany, which ended when the fascists came to power, who led a military campaign against Russia.
    Considering the seriousness of these processes, their controllability and the large financial resources aimed at maintaining them, Satanovsky expresses his conviction that it will be almost impossible to avoid a new world war.
    This case is 5-10 years, depending on the degree of schizophrenia in the leadership of the "gangs of New York".

And when the Turks shot down our plane, no one tried to figure out the states with the Strategic Missile Forces .. Right? This gives reason to think that if a certain conditional Poland suddenly decides to attack the border area .. - no one will bomb Washington .. in extreme cases, Brussels will get it .. And America will pump up arms at Warring Europe and slurp popcorn .. for a while. But when in response to the conditional Poles we hit the conditional Warsaw, then the Americans with an insulted face will stab us in the back from the Arctic and Far East ... because in the eyes of the whole world they will have every right to do this, standing up for an ally. Because the NATO treaties will come into force .. An electoral response, so to speak .. Greece and Turkey are in the same bloc and in tough opposition to each other .. - but the Americans are in no hurry to interfere in their showdown .. I don’t think, by the way, that in the conflict with the conditional Poland, we will immediately begin to use special warheads on objects in Europe .. because this will again cause a negative reaction all over the world .. And without the use of nuclear weapons in the conflict with NATO countries, we will be stupidly crushed by the amount .. Therefore, you can express as much as you like concerns. I have no doubt that American missiles will be stationed both in Georgia and in Ukraine. And, God forbid, even Belarus may end up in a year or two .. And our nuclear batons will continue to rot in mines .. - because no one is going to press the red buttons either from our side or from the American side ..

          [quote = Dikson] This gives reason to think that if a certain conditional Poland suddenly decides to attack the border area .. - no one will bomb Washington .. in extreme cases - Brussels will get: / quote]
          The military doctrine of the Russian Federation clearly states: In the event of an attack on the Russian Federation, a retaliatory blow will be struck at the decision-making centers. In addition to the military component, there are also mattress clans, it is they who decide who to plunder Libya, Iraq, Iran or the Russian Federation with China, they will do everything to make the world one polar. hi

    And what to think, they are doing the same trick as with Japan at one time. Little by little, they are forced to take a more attack-oriented position with an advantage in forces, means and allies.

    To contain the United States, Russia and China, it is necessary to create a ground group of forces in Mexico, Cuba, and Venezuela. Although mattress mats and overseas can not sit out. And if you call a spade a spade, then apart from military facilities it is necessary to pay attention to the location of the "true masters of the world" hi

    Thus, Esper argues, the United States is containing Moscow and strengthening the position of the North Atlantic Alliance.
    An interesting statement, given that the "containment" movement is going towards our borders, and not vice versa. After all, they usually restrain progress, right? There is another situevina here, so you need to start your containment so that these eccentrics begin to express concern!
