Thanks to the Ukraine crisis, the Cold War military alliance NATO does not need to pretend anymore that it is fighting terrorism and can continue its never-ending struggle against Russia right out in the open. The terror threat was quickly replaced by the Russian threat and NATO is non-stop fear-mongering about a Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine. U.S. Air Force GeneralPhilip Breedlove, NATOs top military commander, is leading the way and if he is to be taken seriously, Russian troops will have conquered Ukraine by now. On Tuesday, NATO foreign ministers met in Brussels to discuss an appropriate response to the non-existent buildup of Russian forces on Ukraines eastern border. The U.S.-led military alliance considers, among other things, to expedite the encirclement of Russia: Nato plans stronger military ties to ex-Soviet states south of Russia Before the meeting, a Nato committee drafted plans for promoting stability in eastern Europe in the current context by increasing military co-operation withArmenia, Azerbaijan, and Moldova – all in Russias near abroad and considered by Moscow as falling within its sphere of influence. A confidential seven-page paper leaked to the German news weekly Der Spiegelproposed joint exercises and training between Nato and the three countries, increasing the interoperability of their militaries with Nato, and their participation in Nato smart defence operations. The paper also proposed opening a Nato liaison office in Moldova, military training for Armenia, and projects in Azerbaijan aimed at securing its Caspian Sea oil and gas fields. netteandme.blogspot/2014/04/the-new-great-game-round-up-45.html
