Nato warns of Russian army build-up on Ukraine border
BBC ^ | 23 Mar 14 | Unknown

Nato's military commander in Europe has issued a warning about the build-up of Russian forces on Ukraine's border.

Supreme Allied Commander Europe Gen Philip Breedlove said Nato was in particular concerned about the threat to Moldova's Trans-Dniester region.

Russia said its forces complied with international agreements.

The build-up has been allied with Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, following the removal of Ukraine's pro-Moscow president.

Moscow formally annexed Crimea after the predominantly ethic-Russian region held a referendum which backed joining the Russian Federation.

We're being dragged into a new Cold War by a puffed-up bullfrog (and I don't mean President Putin) UK

… It goes: ‘Putin is Hitler. You are Neville Chamberlain. I am Winston Churchill –hear me roar.’

Apart from knowing nothing about European history,and apart from their bone-headed inability to distinguish Christian Russia from the communist USSR,these people also don’t understand what is going on in Ukraine.

… But the warmongers are selectively blind. Hardly any British news media have mentioned an event in Kiev last week. A group of five louts,one of them an MP from the thuggish, racialist ‘Svoboda’ party,forced their way into the office of Oleksandr Panteleymonov,chief of the main Ukrainian TV station. There they physically attacked him and shouted anti-Russian racial abuse at him

...These people are supposed to be our allies and friends.

On their behalf,our Prime Minister is puffing himself up like a bullfrog,and busily creating a new Cold War that will benefit nobody except spies and weapons-makers,for a cause he doesn’t understand and can’t explain.

NATO should have been dissolved shortly after the cold war ended. Bureaucracies are like vampires, it’s almost impossible to kill them.

- I say it's too late for Ukraine to swing to the pro NATO side.

If Ukraine wants into NATO at this point in time, then it's up to NATO to say yes or no. Doesn't matter if you think it's too late for Ukraine to join.

Hmmmm. You may have a point. For a moment there I did think my opinion was the deciding opinion. But now that you mention, I suppose I am just a guy on the internet, and I suppose the opinion of NATO is the opinion that matters. I never thought of it that way before. Thanks.

Maybe if we ignore them they’ll go away.

“NATO bombing and L’Affaire Lewinsky were back to back.”

Yup. Utterly disgraceful. On both counts.
