    NATO: new bases in Eastern Europe

    NATO: new bases in Eastern Europe

    NATO seeks to reassure their eastern allies.

    Nato is to deploy its forces at new bases in eastern Europe for the first time, in response to the Ukraine crisis and in an attempt to deter Vladimir Putin from causing trouble in the former Soviet Baltic republics, according to its secretary general.


    Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the organisations's summit in Cardiff next week would overcome divisions within the alliance and agree to new deployments on Russia's borders – a move certain to trigger a strong reaction from Moscow.
    I wonder if Russia will shut off the natural gas to Europe this winter...?

    No problem. John McCain assures us that in two years we can provide NG to Europe. I'm sure they'll be able to figure out how to warm themselves up (or thaw themselves out) retroactively.

    Globalization is not a good thing.
    My beliefs are a distillation of what I was taught as a child and what I observe as an adult.

    Rebel commanders in Donetsk told Russian media that 129 Ukrainian soldiers had surrendered at Starobesheve on Wednesday, in a claim that could not be verified independently.
    According to the rebels, a further 94 soldiers surrendered to them on Wednesday further east, in the town of Kuteinykove.
    Meanwhile, the two sides are still battling for control of the town of Ilovaisk, amid claim and counter-claim over its capture and the number of casualties.
    Accusations that Russia is sending both weapons and men into eastern Ukraine gathered force this week when 10 Russian paratroopers were captured on Ukrainian territory, near the Russian border

    Yup, looks like the Russians have invaded eastern Ukraine.

    So Ransom, should we declare war on Russia?

    If not, what? Have you noticed Putin laughing off sanctions?

    I don't know if you could term it a full scale invasion.

    No. Why would we want to declare war on Russia?

    If not, what? Have you noticed Putin laughing off sanctions?
    I have noticed that, I'm not sure our only two options are sanction or...declare war. Why not you just assert I have called for war against Russia, that's your normal tactic.

    Junior......apparently...Mainecoons is claiming Putin has invaded Ukraine. You have been teling us for months Putin isn't going to do any such thing, that he has no reason to do so....that he's walking on eggshells and in a bind since the downing of the Malaysian Jetliner. Remember when that was your analysis.
