NATO May Have "Forward Presence" in Central and Eastern Europe

[nbruno322]

This is scary stuff...


“We ought to take another look at having a visible forward presence on the ground and in the air in Central and Eastern Europe,” said Ivo H. Daalder, president of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, who recently served as the United States ambassador to NATO.

Others experts have also focused on that possibility.

“To build further confidence in NATO’s collective-security commitments to members in its eastern area, Washington should return to Europe a third brigade combat team,” William Courtney, the former American ambassador to Georgia and Kazakhstan, and Job C. Henning, a fellow at the Center for the Study of the Presidency and Congress, wrote in The National Interest. “If requested by Poland, it ought to be based there.”

Thats cool, some here seems to be supporting NATO in here at least. I also dont believe the majority of Europeans will approve of NATO's Forwarded Presence.

When I was there, Poland and the Czech Republic were all for it. Based on their prior experience, they tend not to think of the Russian Army as being good guests.

Because people dont understand that is part of NATO Brainwashing, make NATO look like Angels,while paint the Russians as the villains.

They're in between a rock and a hard place. If it ever came to war, they're bound to be either a battleground or the site of nuclear detonation, depending on their degree of cooperation with NATO. Neither NATO nor Russia really care what happens to them or their people.
