Wall Street Journal: NATO is planning another strengthening of the military presence at the Russian borders

Newspaper The Wall Street Journal published material on the plans of the NATO command on yet another strengthening of the military presence at the Russian borders, provided by military and diplomatic sources, reports RIA "News".

In particular, the NATO command plans to deploy one battalion numbering from 800 to 1000 in Poland and in each of the three Baltic countries - Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania. An alternative option is to deploy only one battalion for the entire region.

In addition, the US administration intends to transfer US troops, who are based in Poland and the Baltic states, under the direct command of NATO. It is noted that the territory of each country is based on 150 soldiers.

Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, said that the NATO command was using pretending pretexts about an imaginary threat allegedly coming from the Russian Federation to cover up its actions. At the same time, he noted that any expansion of the military infrastructure at the Russian borders would cause an adequate response from Moscow.

Another, extraordinary, permanent. temporary ... what's the difference? The presence of NATO at our borders has been and will continue to be NATO itself. Enough of scaring we are already scared. See for yourself do not crap.

[science fiction writer]

See for yourself do not crap.

In the West, historical memory is short, but in principle it is fixable.

Only the leadership of NATA should be strongly advised not to send blacks to the Baltic states, otherwise local aborigines begin to cheat them, and this is not tolerant at all. I’m not afraid of this word-racism on European land !!!

He was lovingly nurtured against the Russians. Now get the answer.

"... only one battalion for the whole region ..."
More, of course, does not fit, you have to sleep while standing!

Yes, the platoon would have been spread all over the Baltic states, and this is the end. For example, b ...!

[Algetxnumx]

Well that's all, it's time to throw the white flag, where are we against such a force!

[VNP1958PVN]

one battalion of 800 to 1000 troops in Poland and in each of the three Baltic countries - Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania.

And why are we not surprised! But the labuses can even begin to sleep, or they say at night they have constant insomnia, from this increasing hysteria!

[vovanpain]

And I still think why the sprot-swallowers are building fences, there it is that the "Russian threat" made fun.

[made13]

It is a pity that it will not work in Mexico and Cuba to place a couple of bases. In response, so to speak.

[pasha88tt]

Presence by presence, and they know the mentality and Russian spirit! Scare does not work !!)

[Abbra]

What can I say - the announcement is formidable and serious ... It's time to give up.

[Altona]

This is an army for provocations ... In the event of a mess, they will be dragged off by five Galaxyi planes and the limitrophs will not even have time to conduct them with their eyes ...

[There are a lot of us]

Until ... they don’t take it back, they will not calm down

[AlexTires]

Maybe it's really worth looking from a different angle?
Maybe the United States decided to replace additional troops in the colonies to be sure of their loyalty?
Then these are their problems, because if the war starts, then these countries will definitely not know who won ...

[kodxnumx]

The United States and NATO are really playing with fire, I’m sure that soon Eastern Europe will see the light under the coca, they set themselves up for a blow, which is to say that the United States certainly does not take away the ability to force others to die for their interests.

[mpzss]

Well, then, 2016 year for the Balts will mean the appearance of the Baltic blacks from their citizens!

[Proxima]

A normal adequate response from Moscow is the deployment of medium-range missiles in Cuba or Nicaragua. At the same time, we will help to build the Panama Canal No. 2. Then America, not only from Poland, will agree to remove its battalions.

[provincial]

Saluyanov will not give money.

[Burmistr]

NATO plans next strengthening of military presence at Russian borders

and ours are sleeping

[Kyrgyz]

A lot of soldiers away from home without clear objectives and combat use require constant costs and degrade, we’ll survive if I think how many of them are in addition to NATO, in terms of tasks and control, it turns into some kind of mess

[Mountain shooter]

There will be a couple of divisions — nothing, and they — two battalions. PR uncontrollably, this action has no military significance.

For it is fraught ...

[Zomanus]

Let them plan, let them post.
We’ll beat through the head, right to Washington.
Although to be honest, I get the impression
that they just don’t want to return the soldiers home,
who were brought out of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Ready to hang out as you like
just not to be taken to America.

[roskot]

Well, everything is for us. And even NATO.

[Tanker55]

Let it bark quietly, you can wake up the Teddy Bear, then don’t be offended !!!

[Sagittarius YaNAO]

And the mesh on the tank is probably heavily armored.
