Hodges: surprise checks of troops conducted in the Russian Federation both surprise and frighten

The commander of the US ground forces in Europe, Ben Hodges, said that he was constantly surprised and frightened by the speed with which the units of the Russian army move during surprise checks.

“What worries me most is the freedom of movement of Russian troops. Their sudden checks they carry out surprise me personally - whenever they do. So you can understand why it scares me ",

quotes Hodges Bi-bi-si.

The general noted that "Russian troops can move troops and equipment over huge distances very quickly, while NATO does not have this speed."

According to him, in Europe "it is necessary to create a military Schengen zone to give freedom of movement to the alliance forces."

Hodges could not resist from the stamp in the West, saying that Russia "is the only potential threat capable of destroying the United States, Great Britain, Germany or any other country."

Earlier, NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg said that "sudden exercises in Russia violate the mechanisms of military transparency in Europe, undermine transparency and predictability in the region."

Hodges' statement that “the Russian military’s sudden inspections surprise and frighten him” is just Machiavellianism in the hybrid war of the US State Department, the CIA and the Pentagon, which leads NATO itself, against the NATO countries themselves.
Such statements in geomacavellism are made with the aim of controlling the public consciousness and leadership of the European countries - NATO members - which allows US parasitic elites to control these countries - through NATO - to their advantage, turning them as victim countries into their undivided colonies, and at the same time, also shift his blame for starting the 3rd World War with the USA and the “collective West” to Russia.
The Russian Federation should more actively repel such Machiavellian attacks on this front of a hybrid war.
Therefore, the more Hodges will declare that the sudden inspections of troops conducted in Russia allegedly “surprise and frighten” him, the more often and intelligently the Russian side should “shout” him to the whole world: 1) that the US itself is hostile to Russia, 2 ) that the fact of the presence of NATO troops along the borders with Russia is UNSUFFICIENT; 3) that the United States, represented by NATO, is the organizer of the 3rd World War.
At the same time, it is necessary to more often and intelligibly explain to Europeans and the world community:
1. that NATO is not a defensive alliance, but an aggressive coalition of countries led by the USA against Russia, created and existing in the interests of enriching only English and American transnational financial world corporations. And that to the genuine protection of the national interests of the European countries - members of the alliance - NATO has nothing to do, but in practice it represents only a real voluntary-forced occupation of these countries as a US colony. That NATO has punitive functions to suppress attempts to get the country out of US external control;
2. that these countries are just consumables for the Anglo-Saxons of the United States in World War III unleashed by them in Europe for American world domination;
3. that at the same time, the leaders of the NATO countries are bribed by the US and British intelligence agencies, as they are collaborators whose main task is precisely the surrender and keeping of their country under the external control of the USA (Great Britain and the US Federal Reserve);
4. that the state European media are also pro-American collaborative and absolutely impossible to trust.

Tanya, if genetic memory does not work, then medicine is usually powerless. True, the Germans are not hopeless, many there understood where such US quirks were leading. This is to make the Germans again a consumable in their economic and military wishes. Even in the United States itself, there are many opponents of "Clintonism"; it is not for nothing that Trump is gaining points on cooling global tensions.

The number of de.bil in NATO troops, starting from the command level, has long exceeded the critical mass. Superimposed on this is the same mass of politicians in the EU and the US. All this already reminds of the popular saying "the more oak trees in the army, the stronger our defense." In general, it makes sense to re-read the immortal Schweik again, the future NATO army is beautifully painted there, and to watch the film adaptations, for 100 years, except for technology, almost nothing has changed.
Therefore, Hodges, Pavels and Carters give inadequate comments. They will destroy Russia in a week, if they strain, of course. On the contrary, Russia will capture the Baltics in 60 hours, and in parallel will sink the British Isles with a dozen Topols. And while this compote is being cooked in the fjords of Scandinavia, all submarines of the Northern and Baltic Fleets will surface, forcing the Scandinavians to abandon gays and lesbians. The United States will not be able to do anything, Congress will need a week to debate and another two to send "first aid to the allies" in the form of dry rations, condoms and diapers. In general, all the power of the West will be able to mobilize not earlier than a month. And this is the best case. Here the attack on small Iraq entailed three months of enhanced logistics, and this at a time when NATO and the United States were at their peak. The USSR collapsed, and the armies of the West were still combat-ready. In general, something like this. And the funny thing is that NATO will have to call Medvedev to ask the BTA planes to transport their "critical cargo". This is to attack us need our own planes.
In general, fears are more than enough.

[Lord of the Sith]

That's right, except for 3 months for logistics for the Iraq war.
They prepared it for a year and assembled 300 thousand groups with all the logistics. For preparation, I mean it’s already prepared plans and the beginning of the transportation of troops and equipment.

But why. Here in Europe on armored vehicles swept. The other day in the Baltic States, the cavalry (tank) unit of the United States went. Another thing is that neither NATO, nor the United States alone is yet able to deploy a mass of troops with equipment over long distances. And we can. And this is a big bone in the throat of the chief bourgeois.

these words are not praise of the Russian army, but a horror story for internal use. the warriors are knocking out an increase in the budget of the us and countries of NATO. in order to impose Russia along its borders with its troops like a wolf in a hole. it is clear that despite the high maneuverability and moral-volitional qualities of our Armed Forces, in the war without the use of nuclear weapons we will yield. our leadership understands this, so the doctrine spells the possibility of using nuclear weapons.

[engineer74]

I suspect that exercises for the use of nuclear weapons are not less intensive, only, for obvious reasons, they are not advertised ...
To fight in full program with NATO conventional means, I think there are no fools! True, the coin has a flip side - in spite of the military power of the bloc, in a non-nuclear war with Russia it does not shine to meet its norms of losses and stockpiles of weapons.

But for me, NATO will never have the same speed of reaction and speed of transfer of troops. There, every country wants to get something out of it. And then, even within the bloc, everyone has their own opinion on any issue. And then I remember the saying that meetings save minutes and lose hours. And it is very difficult for me to imagine the mechanism of NATO's work in the event of a real war with a strong country. Let everyone think for themselves, and the motto "together we are strong" will deteriorate just like the air in the epicenter of an explosion.

Hodges correctly says that if the American army has mobile units and means for deploying heavy weapons, then the European armies do not have mobile corps capable of operating in harmony, in a single plan. army.
Hence, we are talking about 3 days during which NATO troops must be able to concentrate on their eastern border, and their headquarters must work in a single information space, the teams must pass correctly. And this is not so easy, given the heterogeneity of the bloc members (and most importantly, their so-called . "special partners" in Europe.
In addition, in Europe it is difficult to reassign the transport structure in peacetime (for commercial and bureaucratic reasons) .We are much easier with us --- Comrade Putin pressed the button and the BTA engines roared, rolled military trains under the accordion

According to him, in Europe "it is necessary to create a military Schengen zone in order to give freedom to the movement of the alliance forces."

Previously, there was an article that the process of coordinating the movement of troops in Europe with local authorities takes up to 30 days. And in the USA itself, not everything is so smooth. In my opinion, this year the Americans tried or conducted exercises in Texas. So the state governor said that he regarded this as an invasion (apparently no one agreed with him on this issue in advance) and promised to involve the state’s national guard to counteract it. I don’t know how it ended. So Hodges most likely has this side of the issue in mind. In Russia there are no such problems and this bothers him (them).
