BREAKING NEWS! America is preparing for war with Russia as Hagel & @BarackObama quietly deploy 10,000 Troops to Poland to beef up the Western Flank and Border area on the Eastern Border of Poland shared with Putin Land! Please Share This! http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...troops-going-to-poland-defense-minister-says/ U.S. ground troops going to Poland, defense minister says Apr 19, 2014 0 188 I’ve said for years that U.S. troops based in Europe should be moved out of Germany (where they are no longer needed or really welcomed) and into countries like Poland, Hungary, and Romania, where they would be welcomed with open arms. Now that Vladimir Putin’s doctrine is to interfere and send Russian troops into any area with a Russian speaking population, the change in U.S. troop location looks like it is about to happen. From The Washington Post: Poland and the United States will announce next week the deployment of U.S. ground forces to Poland as part of an expansion of NATO presence in Central and Eastern Europe in response to events in Ukraine. That was the word from Poland’s defense minister, Tomasz Siemoniak, who visited The Post Friday after meeting with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel at the Pentagon on Thursday. Siemoniak said the decision has been made on a political level and that military planners are working out details. There will also be intensified cooperation in air defense, special forces, cyberdefense and other areas. Poland will play a leading regional role, “under U.S. patronage,” he said. But the defense minister also said that any immediate NATO response to Russian aggression in Ukraine, while important, matter less than a long-term shift in the defense postures of Europe and America. The United States, having announced a “pivot” to Asia, needs to “re-pivot” to Europe, he said, and European countries that have cut back on defense spending need to reverse the trends. “The idea until recently was that there were no more threats in Europe and no need for a U.S. presence in Europe any more,” Siemoniak said, speaking through an interpreter. “Events show that what is needed is a re-pivot, and that Europe was safe and secure because America was in Europe.” How likely is such a reversal on defense spending? Siemoniak said there was widespread support at a recent meeting of European defense ministers. “Now they’ll go back to their presidents, prime ministers and ministers of finance, and this will stop being easy,” he admitted. “But the impetus is very strong.” The strongest impetus, he said, is not even Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea, but President Vladimir Putin’s bald lies about Russian actions there and his exposition of a new doctrine allowing Russia to intervene in any country where Russian-speaking populations are, in Russia’s judgment, under threat. This poses a potential danger to the Baltic nations, which are members of NATO, and even more to Moldova, Belarus and central Asian nations that are not, he said. Like President Obama, Siemoniak said it’s too soon to judge the agreement reached Thursday in Geneva to defuse tensions. He said he believes that Russia’s “special operation in eastern Ukraine didn’t go as planned” and that Putin may have decided to play a longer game. “He holds different instruments that he can use to influence events in Ukraine,” Siemoniak said. Putin will keep in reserve the option of an outright military incursion, “but the political, military and financial costs would be gigantic.” The 46-year-old minister mused that until recently NATO was wondering what mission it would have, if any, once its troops came home from Afghanistan. “Now we have an answer to that question,” he said.
I would suggest that America is not necessarily preparing for war with Russia. There is no evidence to suggest this. Troops being moved into different countries is often just politics. If war really was imminent, I think we would have a much clearer understanding of it. I am beginning to worry slightly about the amount of false fear being spread on this site... I don't know why this should be. No doubt there will be difficult times ahead, but my concern is that because of all the wolf-crying and scare-mongering, when the time to really batton down the hatches comes upon us, people will take no notice because of all the false emergencies being called. We need to be people of hope, I suggest. Salt and light. The time to be the watchmen, warning and shouting, will be obvious enough. Last week I got slightly scared because people were going on about red blood moons and warnings and the end of the world etc... well, let me tell you. I spent the week in London with my family and although we had a full moon it was as white as white could be and we prayed our rosary under it every night. I don't really know where some of this stuff comes from, but it certainly isn't from God. Yesterday we spent two hours watching the live Passion of Christ in Trafalgar Square in London. Thousands of people, watching the story of Our Lord's trial, suffering, death and resurrection. Beautiful. Christianity in action and many people finding and renewing their faith in central London. God is bigger. Perfect love casts out fear. He has risen ! Happy Easter to everyone who posts or reads here and especially thankyou to Padraig our host.
I have to say I don't trust any of our so called leaders. If they support abortion I don't trust them.
