General Dunford: Russia is shaking NATO

August 24 2016

Russia's actions are aimed at undermining the unity of the North Atlantic bloc - the most successful in stories combines RIA News a statement by the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Joseph Dunford.

At a meeting with students of the National Defense University in Washington, the general "expressed concerns about Russia's actions in the Crimea, as well as its threats against Georgia and Moldova and the help (to the government) of Syria," the Pentagon’s release said.

According to the press service, Dunford described it as an attempt to "undermine the position of the most successful alliance in history - NATO."

"Russia is trying to loosen it,"

he declared.

The general reiterated Washington’s position: the main threats to the United States are Russia, China, Iran, the DPRK and terrorism.

Meanwhile, US Vice-President Joseph Biden, while on a visit to Riga, promised to send an additional armored brigade to Europe.

“The US is ready to send an additional armored brigade to Eastern Europe, this is an 4200 soldier,” he said, noting that the strengthening of NATO’s position in the region “is the most powerful since the end of the cold war.”

  Yes, calm down you finally! Russia's actions are aimed at strengthening its defenses. We are just building our own modern army so that all sorts of NATO could not and in our thoughts allow pressure on our country.

      They think of themselves too much ....
      
      In my opinion, it is rather necessary to look for medical reasons in such statements ...
      Interesting ... THE WESTERN COUNCIL PASSES A MEDICAL EXAMINATION OR DISPENSIONIZATION BEFORE APPOINTMENT TO RESPONSIBLE POSTS ???? On positions where it is necessary to make independent decisions ....
      Painfully, a lot of statements from Western leaders have appeared recently ... balancing on the brink of a medical diagnosis from the KASCHENKO clinic, typical of those with a "wavka" in their brains ...
      Can our leadership, on behalf of the SECURITY COUNCIL OF RUSSIA, initiate the international community ... the same International Red Cross, the UN Health Protection Committee .... CONDUCT A MEDICAL INSPECTION OF SUCH FATTY "LEADERS" ... !

  Well, actually he is right, we, thank God and the king, are really doing this !!! And I hope we will achieve the goal of weakening the alliance. Objectively speaking, we have a lot of things, but they are not sickly "fighting back". And so far they have responded very strongly with a blow to Ukraine. Although objectively speaking, it is not entirely clear who exactly fights off constant blows.

Only one thing is not clear to me. Why does this soldier consider NATO the most successful association in history ??? Has anyone other than the United States itself experienced this "success"?
Or maybe NATO won bright victories in world wars?

  The concept of success for the PSA, in this case, is what is beneficial for their country — to squeeze other countries, steal other countries, destroy other countries for their own benefit. This is considered correct, but the Russian Federation --- interferes.

  This is such an advertising campaign, to convince everyone. They show the plane "invisible" and convince everyone that it is invisible, but in fact, in the meter range, the C-125 "Neva" is visible and knocked down

At a meeting with students at the National University of Defense in Washington, the general “expressed concern about Russia's actions in Crimea, as well as its threats against Georgia and Moldova, and assistance (to the government) of Syria”

They brainwash their youth with tales of an unstoppable and dangerous Russia. From all sides there is pressure on us, gentlemen, and this is really a fact. It resembles a soap bubble that gets bigger and bigger, but in the end it will burst as much as our patience. Sooner or later, but in the end, all the efforts of striped mattresses will still lead to something. It's just that the situation of isolating us as a people and Russia as a state will not go away by itself. And as always, the last and decisive word will be ours. We know how to answer like no other. The only hope is that there will be at least a few people in Europe who are capable of rationally thinking, who would understand what these games can lead to becoming bad boys with overseas, as VVP says, "partners".

Of course we shake it up! Enemies must be weakened in every possible way. Yes, only they themselves are not against "loosening". Here are a few more battalions in Europe organized, some kind of armored brigade. PR how much in vain. Is it really not clear that even a dozen tank divisions WILL NOT HELP, if anything.

“Undermine the position most successful Alliance in History - NATO

At one time there was a "successful" alliance in history - Rome - Berlin - Tokyo. We started off well with the nationalist, but ended up poorly. Therefore, it is possible that the "most successful" alliance of today will also end badly.

Well, actually, I don’t see anything strange in the desire to weaken my strategic adversary. If Russia tried to strengthen NATO, created as an antagonist to the armed forces of the USSR, this would really raise questions. And so - a completely normal desire, given the active approach of the alliance to our borders. The second principle of Sun Tzu is to weaken alliances.

The dense insanity of the American military leaders is striking: they think that we will sit and watch with affection their activities aimed at destroying Russia, dudki, we will do everything to completely destroy the most aggressive group in the world called NATO. The West has exhausted its resources if such stupid people are placed in positions of responsibility. And do not intimidate us, because many of the "scarecrows" who have been doing this before you successfully "fertilize" the fields of Russia, we do not advise you to repeat their attempts !!! As one of the characters of the Gaidaevskaya comedy said: "... I will hit gently, but it hurts ..."! (slightly changed the original)

Objectively speaking, NATO is undermining the Baltic states, which are trying to project their insignificant geopolitical complexes onto the entire alliance. He believes that NATO is called upon to solve the full amount of the personal problems of each of its members, although this is not so.

Let them direct, 4200 warriors by and large do not solve anything, and their budget has an additional burden. Oh and the states will tear, in the end ...
The main thing here is not to get involved in this race, if the USSR was torn, then we weren’t lying around, alas.

Well, for the United States, this is indeed the most successful association. They earned so much dough on this and pumped it out of the block countries.

According to the press service, Dunford regarded this as an attempt to “undermine the position of the most successful alliance in history - NATO.”]

And students at that time were picking their nose in concentration and trying to imagine which of the US states the cities of Georgia, Moldova and Syria were located.
Advice to the general: GET BREATHED AND UZBAGOYS, your "NATA" we will not live in a bad way.

If the NATO alliance is successful, then all its members are interested in it. And if there is interest, then shaking the alliance from outside Russia is not possible. Either the general has a bad head, or the alliance is not very successful, and a successful alliance cannot have one of the leaders of a person who is bad with his head.

The most successful association ever? Oh well...
NATO has never passed a battle check (namely, a battle, not bombing of unarmed people from a safe distance) - so it's too early to judge!
As Napoleon said, the strength of any alliance is directly proportional allied aspirations its members ...
