I remember a while ago putting Star Wars in Eastern Europe was deemed provocative to Russia, might as well look at it again. |

There will be all sorts of quiet goings on militarily, I reckon.
It strikes me that we have a "Def Con" situation and maybe we/NATO should at this stage invoke some exclusion zones to keep Russian spy ships away. |

Well at least I'm too old to join the army.
Many years ago during Gulf War II, I was in a job that gave me protected status as the job I did would have been vital for our forces, the OSA stops me saying exactly what. |

The 2,000 were just the naval personnel. Quote:
Then there are the NATO troops that have been involved in exercises in Ukraine. Why the need to hold the exercises on Russia's doorstep? Two years ago, NATO planned exercises(Neptune Strike 22) due for next month in the Med, involving at least 3 carrier groups. Is that meant to be a sign of aggressive intent? NATO exercises seem to be more about systems, than numbers. Why else would one of them in Ukraine involve the Washington National Guard? |

It seems strange you don’t have the same passion about the Russian aggression/annexation in Crimea, and the ongoing fighting since then between Russian proxy forces and Ukraine - or is it OK because it’s Russia? |
Re: Russia & Ukraine invasion threat (Defcon 4)
The West has been divided and weakened by Russian interference in our elections. We're weak they know it and will walk in, knowing we're incapable if doing anything. Job well done by them.

IIRC 60% of Crimean population is Russian. There was a vote, which is more than Eastern Ukraine(largely Russian) has been allowed. Air attacks on Eastern Ukrainian rebels ok, but air attacks on Syrian rebels isn't? Not exactly consistent is it? Nothing to do with whether something involves Russia or not, it's the matter of the staggering levels of hypocrisy and hysteria. |

LATEST: U.S Pentagon puts 8,500 troops on heightened state of “readiness”, in the event of Russia invading Ukraine.

And then you complain that no one discussed these issues that you decided not to raise. :confused: |
