Repositioning bombers within easy striking range of key Russian strategic targets
Deploying additional tactical nuclear weapons to locations in Europe and Asia
Increasing US and allied naval force posture and presence in Russia’s operating areas (Black Sea)
Holding NATO war exercises on Russia’s borders
Withdrawing from the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty
These and many other provocations suggested by Rand have, in fact, been implemented. For example, NATO conducted massive war exercises dubbed “Defender 2021” right up Russia’s border. NATO has started “patrolling” the Black Sea and engaging in provocative intrusions into Crimean waters. The US has withdrawn from the INF Treaty.
The thing for people here to keep in the mind is that the Ukraine Shills here FULLY UNDERSTAND what we’ve been doing in that part of the world...and thus are lying when they claim ignorance.
What “LA Progressive” also misses is that Ukraine at the same time became not merely just a strategic tool to poke Russia - it became a Democrat/Deep-state black box for political corruption, money-laundering, etc... in the USA
Hunter Biden, Chris Heinz, Crowdstrike, Steele and his fake Dossier, the Vindmans, Black Rock - DC elites, democrats and their cronies were parasites feeding on the organs of the mangy dog that was Ukraine with the help of their Ukrainian puppets
“Progressives” will never talk about this.
That is mostly a list of President Trump’s actions.
“”””The Rand report lists many techniques and “measures” to provoke and threaten Russia. Some of the steps include:
Repositioning bombers within easy striking range of key Russian strategic targets
Deploying additional tactical nuclear weapons to locations in Europe and Asia
Increasing US and allied naval force posture and presence in Russia’s operating areas (Black Sea)
Holding NATO war exercises on Russia’s borders
Withdrawing from the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty””””
That is the 2019 “RAND report” produced during President Trump’s administration.
You opposed Trump’s National Defense policies and think he provoked Russia to invade Ukraine?
The map of the 9,000 man or so exercise that took place after the Russian invasion shows it to be less dramatic than you made it sound, this looks like the places NATO would have to have an exercise, and most of the exercise was in Germany, Romania, and Portugal.
