Nato chiefs, thrown into a panic by fears that Russian President Vladimir Putin might attack the West, are scrambling to put together a force of 300,000 troops which they can put on 'high alert'.
Relations between Russia and the West have plunged in the last year, with Moscow's insistence on backing its Syrian ally, President Bashar al-Assad, at all costs leading to serious tension with the US, Britain and France.
Most Nato members cut their defence spending dramatically since the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 but Russia has been bolstering its military capabilities, holding parades involving more than 100,000 troops each year.

D**%n Ruskies. NATO has been waiting, waiting, waiting for Putin to send the Red army tanks into a Baltic country (any Baltic? Poland maybe? pretty please?) but Putin doesn’t do it. And after NATO has gone to all this trouble and expense.
Just shows you can’t trust those Ruskies.

Let’s hope that Trump wins and gets together with Putin to straighten out this ill conceived an bungled up mess by our government.

Soros hates Russia so so much. His Open Society offices in Moscow were raided years back and they were basically thrown out of the country.
We were all laughing about it here.
Soros. you know, held the wedding of Chelsea at his home to his nephew or something.

They have been working on it for at least one month. Way back there in my posting history you can find it.

Many are already there. I read about this a month or two ago...
Let's see the combat center or whatever is in Poland. UK and Canada are supplying troops as well.
Obama had some meeting with the UK leader and I read about it then.

The thing is Russia and Syria have been tight since at least 1940. They have a naval base there and an airbase too. Millions in businesses.
So this is really about going after Russia in proxy.

Great WWIII... just what I was hoping for...
(/sarc)
I don’t even care about the Russians now that they aren’t commies anymore. In fact they are putting up statues to Christian saints now with big crosses. So why would I want a war with them? No need to fight Christians ever again!!
I fear now that our govt is becoming the commies. That worries me.
Only hope now is Trump.
