| Ukraine Agrees to Host NATO War Games |
| 2014-04-02 |
| [An Nahar] Ukraine's parliament on Tuesday approved a series of joint military exercises with NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... countries that would put U.S. troops in direct proximity to Russian forces in the annexed Crimea peninsula. "This is a good opportunity to develop our armed forces," acting defense minister Mykhailo Koval told Verkhovna Rada politicians ahead of the 235-0 vote. |

| #21 The US is still a superpower, once we have adult leadership. The present regime is making Carter look a little better. I was watching a piece on TV regarding the Reagan era the other night. Carter had a lot of the same losing attributes of the current president and his regime. Seems to be a donk thing. |

| #20 Also Grom, wrong. Russia is still a regional power, not a superpower, with the exception of strategic nuclear weapons. The US is still a superpower, once we have adult leadership. And one other thing: you seem to be reveling in raw power and illegal aggression from Russia. Remember the last bunch that did that for Fatherland? Proud of Nationalism? Proud oc collectivist/socialist government by and for the oligarchs? That is Russi now, and Fascit Germany then. Just making sure you realize the jackboots you have put on, and that actions like these make me and many others implacable enemies. Enemies you do not want coming after you. Your side has lost - Fascists in Germany, Russian Communists in the Cold War. Get ready to lose again, your type always costs us blood because we are slow to fight, but your type also always ends up being little bitches after we defeat you. |

| #19 Grom, better that than backing a fascist totalitarian like you are. Goons like you support Grom get ground under the boots of free men, sooner or later. Get ready to eat it punk. By the way From, when you going to start going after Jews? Its what your type always ends up doing. |

| #18 Sure seems like the conditions are all there. Personally I was looking forward to a day when the US had an adult President and USA/RUS could team up for mutual jihadi weasel stomping. I maybe felt that the disagreements and outright conflicts of interest could be put in a little box over there if some stuff had to be done. |

| #10 the only thing to be proud of his life was being a citizen of a sole SuperPower In all fairness, his side *did* win the Cold War. Although we seem to be f**king it up at the moment. But yeah, this does seem a little provocative. |

| #4 Grom, yes you Russian fascists are asking for it. |

| #3 Putin will form his own NATO or EU. This is one of his plans in the works. With China he will have a good start. That will bring in Latin America. Perhaps Africa. Then the Aussies will have to choose. Japan will be even more isolated. India with develop a nervous tick for sure. Norway foots the bills now and the EU is asking for more money, much more. Even Bill Gates is concerned. |

| #1 As per FREEREPUBLIC, POLAND has repor asked NATO to base up to 10,000 troops on its territory in response to Russia's annexation the Crimea. Also, the US-NATO are in negotiations wid ROMANIA + HUNGARY for similar. BULGARIA on its part is feeling nervousy twitchy as it claims Russian flew near its border. aircraft |
