The Empire continues to escalate against Russia and is breaking previous agreements with Russia. NYT reports:
The idea of moving prepositioned weapons and materials to the Baltics and Eastern Europe has been discussed before, but never carried out because it would be viewed by the Kremlin as a violation of the spirit of the 1997 agreement between NATO and Russia that laid the foundation for cooperation.The Pentagon’s proposal still requires approval by Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter and the White House.
In that agreement, NATO pledged that, “in the current and foreseeable security environment,” it would not seek “additional permanent stationing of substantial ground combat forces” in the nations closer to Russia.
The agreement also says that “NATO and Russia do not consider each other as adversaries.”
