US army bases will appear on the Black Sea Coast – in Bulgaria and Romania. About $50 million will be assigned to build the base in Romania, and the Pentagon plans to spend $60 million more for the same purpose in Bulgaria.
The Romanian base is expected to be put in operation in 2010, whereas the second one will most likely be launched in 2011 or 2012. Over 4,000 US military men are expected to serve at the two bases: 1,600 in Romania and 2,500 in Bulgaria. The authorities of the two nations expect that the US military men will settle there for a long time.
Col. Gary Russ, commander of Joint Task Force-East, sad that no one in Bulgaria and Romania had anything against the US military presence in the two countries. Vice President Joseph Biden, who recently visited several countries of Eastern Europe, including Romania, stated that the European nation supported a new configuration of the US missile defense system.
It is not ruled out that elements of the US missile defense system may eventually appear in Eastern Europe. US officials say that the appearance of army bases in Bulgaria and Romania strictly corresponds to the plans of the US administration to relocate troops in foreign countries (George W. Bush announced the plans in 2004).
It goes about the Pentagon’s intention to cut its 55,000-strong group in Germany and redeploy a part of the troops in several countries of Eastern Europe, including Bulgaria and Romania.

A land invasion? We’d get annihilated. Period. Any war with Russia better be with nukes.
Why not, it never worked for anyone else except the Monguls...... and since we are so kind and gentle in Iraq and Afganistan, why should kindness work in Russia?
The Mongul were mean and plundered ... we could give them flowers when we invade and cook them hamburgers so they will like us.... we can even put Obama in charge of the entire region since everyone loves Obama.
Sounds like a job for Richard Marcinko.
Why would we have a war or attack Russia? It would be like a emerging Muslim or at least muslim run country attacking a largely Christian country.
Why would we want to do that???
Oh, they just love to dream of getting invaded again.
They actually have nothing we want.
All their good-looking women are already HERE.
Why not? Thanks to Global Warming, invading Russia should be a cinch. [/s]
We would send in our sound weapons called the “YOKO ONOs”
These bases would be a boon to those lovely Romanian women; that is the real reason for putting U.S. troops there.
More like the US is would be trying to shield new allies from the aggressive Russian Bear.
Two bases for 50 or 60 million each? Our troops won’t get much if the gov’t wants to do it on the cheap.
"May those who have Eyes, See; and those who have Ears, Hear."
Why attack them? From what I read the vodka is killing them without our intervention. If it is true that the average Russian man lives to be 55, just..wait.
But, what if NWO leaders plan to destroy US (and Russia) by pushing US into war against Russia.
All their base are belong to us. With 4000 troops in theater them Rooskies won’t stand a chance. The French tried it with just shy of 700,000 people, but then they only had Napoleon, and we got 0bama.
Get real, russkies. The Obamaloon can’t win a war against Rush or Fox, let alone a military power. His cojones are so small we’d need an electron microscope to find them.
“Why would we have a war or attack Russia?

or on their way here- bride.ru
As said, the only goods Russia has worth exporting.
“or on their way here- bride.ru”
If you like good looking women who are beholden to some Russian mob or are just waiting for you to kick so they can live in the style they wanted in the first place - go for it.
That’ll be the day.
Obama is making the USA more Marxist than Russia ever thought to be.
If we get into a war with Russia, it will be when Russia comes to the aid of the anti-Marxists in America in the upcoming Civil War.
...I never thought like that... but it is possible.
Somebody please tell the Russkies we’re broke and, with Obama in charge, will vote “present” when it comes to an actual war.
LOL!!! With THIS “president?” Please...
Notice that they blame Bush for this move in this article...
And they also say that Obama doesn’t have effective control of the US military and that the Pentagon has a mind completely of its own.
Looks like the KGB is reporting the news in Russia again. Russians are now acting like the old Soviet Union towards us. I would not be surprised if they attacked us when the cap blows in Iran.
He’ll need something to take attention away from his screw-ups at home, as well as serve as an excuse to declare martial law.
Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is “never get involved in a land war in Asia”
Should we assume THE 0bama wishes to reenact Dr. Zhivago as a reality series?
Pravda had more credibility 20 years ago under the Soviets.
