| When Russia Invades Our Allies, Mr. Obama Will Be Golfing in Hawaii |
| 2015-01-26 |
| Last Wednesday, Zbigniew Brzezinski, a left-wing foreign policy expert who served under president Jimmy Carter, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the United States and its allies should deploy troops to Baltic states to deter Russia from staging a possible incursion in those countries. He said he feared Russian President Vladimir Putin might try to take control over Baltic countries in a lightning move that could take NATO by surprise, according to USA Today. A nightmare scenario could be that one day -- and I literally mean one day -- he just seizes Riga and Tallinn. "That would literally take him one day. There’s no way they could resist," Brzezinski said. "And then we’ll say how horrible, how shocking, how outrageous. But, of course, we can't do anything about it," he said, without risking a potential nuclear conflict. What he didn't say is we have a do-nothing president who has opened the floodgates to rampaging totalitarians around the globe who are exploiting his weakness and naivete as a leader. |

| #8 Russia's population isn't really high enough for them to occupy a whole lot of anything beyond their old sphere of influence. They could conquer and trash maybe set up shakey puppet states but Putin's not a short range thinker like that. I think Putin would be happy to create a buffer zone that kept NATO in central Europe and a lot of his aggression has been positioning for that eventuality. I think he's more likely to meddle down south in the Greece/Turkey region at this point. Lots of levers that could make big shifts down there. |

| #3 I can't see how American 'tripwire' troops would be any impediment to Putin at this point, as Obama would probably write them off as 'inconvenient'. |

| #2 AFAIC any Russian attack on the Baltics = Chinese attack on Guam andor Hawaii = Iranian attack on Israel + KSA, etc. = would occur because, in its zeal to establish US-created Anti-US OWG-NWO the "Co-Superpower" Globalist US unilaterally pulled back or gave up TOO MUCH POWER-N-INFLUENCE [sovereignty?], TOO SOON, TO TOO MANY IN THE NAME OF GLOBALIST "RETREAT IS [World] PEACE". Where Geopol Rivals-n-Wannabes including NGOS now sincerely believe the US DE FACTO CAN'T OR WON'T DEFEND ITS INTERESTS ANYMORE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SOVEREIGN STATES + TERRITORIES. * E.G. DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > PETERS: IRAN IS BUILDING A NEW EMPIRE IN THE MIDDLE EAST. Once again, its GOOD OWG Globalism = What OWG "Co-Superpowers" do. * TOPIX > KRAUTHAMMER: US ALLIES "SCARED TO DEATH" OF IRAN IN YEMEN. * RELATED SAME > KRAUTHAMMER: IRAN'S EMERGING EMPIRE. IMO vee OWG Globalist Amerika's SELF-DECLINING one??? |
