Russia and the United States will begin their controversial first joint anti-terror military exercises on American soil shortly at Ft. Carson in Colorado. A special unit of Russian paratroopers departed for the United States over the weekend and will be working alongside American land forces as part of the war games.
The Russian and U.S. special units will engage in joint gun practice as well as mountain training, parachute exercises, and demolition techniques training. About 20 Russian soldiers will be participating, with most of the sessions taking place on the Ft. Carson Army base and at a mountain training area several hours away.
Russia Today reports, “Russian paratroopers will first familiarize themselves with American small arms, military equipage, munitions, communication and reconnaissance equipment, parachute systems, and types of landing operations.”

You’re welcome. I wish Hannity and Rush weren’t so ignorant on the subject. They know so little they’re apparently embarrassed to go there. Meanwhile, their ignorance has so many on our side in the dark on the issue. Rush is better than Hannity here, but still largely inadequate.
My compliments on your gathering of information. It makes FR look good.
Thank you. I provide it, not just to inform or remind fellow FReepers, but for any liberal or leftist lurkers or Snooze Media who might be spying on our threads looking to find ‘outrageous” uninformed responses they can poke fun at or use as examples of ‘right-wing paranoia’.
We can't for a moment forget who and what we have in the White House today. He doesn't do what he does out of "incompetence", he does it with an intentional shared vision with the Russians. He's trying to help them regain superpower status. His "Uncle Frank" (Frank Marshall Davis) was a diehard supporter of the Soviet Union. Obama himself, as a college student in the 80s, supported the Soviets.
You are so right.
