Carter: Washington adjusts its military presence in Europe

46
America, due to disagreements with Russia, is adjusting the size of its forces in Europe, but has no plans to return to the level of the Cold War, Pentagon chief Ashton Carter said at a meeting in Pearl Harbor (Hickam Air Force Base).



“We are making some adjustments (of forces) in Europe, recognizing that Russia is choosing the wrong course, which we had hoped for, it will choose ... But we will not recreate what was during the Cold War regarding our (military) capabilities in Europe, this is not the scenario for the actions the Russians are taking, ”the minister said. RIA News.

Carter again accused the Russian Federation of "hybrid wars" and the use of "green men" in the Crimea and Ukraine.

“In this regard, Washington must use a new kind of opportunity,” he said. “This is a new kind of opportunity, the Europeans and NATO have asked for it, and we will provide them.”

    Everything as usual! The United States has no other option but to accuse Russia of interfering in the Ukrainian conflict, since the gentlemen from Washington will never admit that the crisis on the territory of Independence is their business, and Russia is going the way it chose. There is no turning back! Let Carter calculate how many bases around the world the States have, and how many wars have been unleashed over the past 20 years. And to the "new opportunities" of the Pentagon, there will be a new unpredictable response from Russia, because everyone should sit in his own house and not go into other people's gardens!

      The hegemon is no longer able to hegemon. The resource is running out. Money runs out, power runs out

      I would very much like your words to fall into the ears of the Lord ...
      The hegemonism is at the limit of the joint policies of the BRICS countries, where the first fiddle is played by China, Russia, India, Brazil ... And the blow falls on the most sensitive place of the hegemon - on its financial system. Russia and China are withdrawing customers from the dollar zone, transferring settlements to national currencies, mutual settlements are not serviced by the dollar anymore - that makes mortal longing in the eyes of Uncle Scrooge!
      But the states are still the # 1 military power. And this is a fact, whether someone likes it or not. But the bandit becomes uncomfortable: rivals have grown up, but he cannot do anything with them ... He is afraid of being crippled to death during distribution. So you have to shit at the doorstep of one, take another to show off. To kick jackals out of the singing, to close shops with goods, so that opponents of "crap" get nervous, maybe their stomachs will ache from internal experiences. And then they will definitely not have time for the hegemon ...
      And leadership flows like water through fingers. The concept of 1,5 wars was not canceled, but the theater of war was changed. Now the main direction of efforts is the APR. the main enemy is China. The regionals do not have enough forces for its neutrolization. Therefore, 60-70% of the fleet is sent there. But Russia was entrusted to Europe. But she is not particularly keen to get 3 courtesy lessons. Therefore, let’s direct our garrisons there, we will anchor the situation ... After all, no big war is expected in Europe ... Therefore, for now, the essence and the matter should be tried to crush (undermine the power of the world's second largest economy) China with its claims to the role of world leader.
      I really want to split the cooperation of the RF-PRC, to pull India over to our side ... Again, to create a comfortable environment for ourselves, my beloved. And here all means are good.

    Correction is when they correct their mistakes, rather than looking for others. In your place, gentlemen, proofreaders, you need not edit all your sermons and psalms, but roll them up and try to write from scratch. Do you have to review and review the scripts? Take any of your production, the last act is the same: everything is in shit, and you are in a white tailcoat.
    Whatever the Russians do in their land or with their neighbors (by mutual agreement), this should not bother you. At best, clap your hands until our patience burst and we slammed ... either the door or the lid of the wooden box. Our course is right, we don’t need pilots-idiots. Compare with yours, if that:
