With Washington undertaking the greatest military expansion in world history, oblivious to the global ramifications of its sheer arrogance and audacity, the time is ripe for Russia to make a symbolic gesture in America’s backyard.
At the time of this writing, three US B-52 Stratofortress Bombers have just departed from a US airbase in North Dakota, en route to the Baltic States where they will participate in a NATO war game that goes by the cuddly codename ‘Saber Strike’. This two-week gang bang will involve 10,000 troops from 13 NATO countries, as well as several coveted candidates for future membership, like Sweden and Finland.
If you think Russia is comfortable with these annual war dances, you’re probably watching too much Western television.
But this reckless provocation on Russia’s doorstep is just a little sampling of the US-led military adventures now happening across Eastern Europe, which are directly responsible for dragging bilateral relations between Moscow and Washington to their worst levels since maybe forever.
Last month, for example, President Putin commented on the US missile defense system that has just gone live in nearby Romania.
“At the moment the interceptor missiles… have a range of 500 kilometers, soon this will go up to 1,000 kilometers, and worse than that, they can be rearmed with 2,400 km-range offensive missiles… and it can be done by simply switching the software, so that even the Romanians themselves won’t know,” Putin told reporters during a two-day visit to Greece.
