US Continues Its Outright Military Encirclement of Russia

By RICK ROZOFF

Even though US Vice President Joseph Biden pledged last February at the Munich Security Conference to “press the reset button” with Russia, Washington and Pentagon officials have not relented under President Obama on any projects that have antagonized Moscow.

Even though the Russian government has now permitted the US and NATO allies transit rights by rail and by air to ship military goods to assist the West’s expanding war in South Asia, which in fact Russia has permitted the extension of NATO military nexus from the Baltic to the Black Sea and to the Caspian Sea, and thus tightening the noose around Russia’s neck.

How is the policy of President Obama demonstrating their supposed resolve to mend ties with Russia, not in words by in deeds?

This in reality is how the noose is being tightened around the neck of Russia– in the following manner:

* NATO held a ten-day military exercise, called “Cold War Response 2009”, consisting of 67,000 NATO troops from thirteen nations in northern Norway, off the coast of the Norwegian Sea, adjoining the Barents Sea and the Russian coastline. This will be a full spectrum exercise with land, naval and air forces, simulating “NATO emergency military intervention.”

The “Barents Observer” newspaper reported:

“This year, about 700 armed forces are “special forces”. The predicted conflict between Russia and NATO increased in 2008 when Northland attacked and occupied Midland. After the ceasefire, Northland withdrew its forces and a power vacuum created which NATO had to fill, occurred!”

Moving southwest, NATO had completed a four-day “Baltic Host 2009” exercise in Estonia, which involved a series of scenarios simulating the arrival and deployment of NATO troops in a member country.

Participating in the above war games were troops from United States, Britain, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania – and this will be a regular NATO war exercise to improve the cohesion of all NATO troops.

In Poland, Minister Radoslav Sikorski met with US Secretary of Stat, Hillary Clinton and they agreed that US Patriot Missiles would be deployed in Poland quickly. These NATO missiles can reach as the Kaliningrad territory of Russia.

The present Polish Deputy Defense Minister was quoted by the “US Stars and Stripes” newspaper: “Our enemy is much closer to our borders and we have to take this into account when we plan our future dense.”

Pentagon announced after Obama became President: “

Further south the Ukrainian Chief Commander of its Navy, Igor Tenyukh said: “The US-led Sea Breeze NATO military exercise in Crimea with the Ukrainian Navy will be the biggest that they had before, because NATO and Ukraine are strategic partners against our common enemy.”

The military exercise in Georgia is called “Cooperative Longbow” and the creation of a common policy of NATO and Georgia in the Caucasus. 900 troops from 23 nations will join Georgian troops in this military exercise against “the enemy.”

Further south, NATO and Bulgaria had an air and infantry exercises at the newly-given to NATO by Bulgaria its Bezmer Airbase. NATO and Romania also have joint military exercises under NATO leadership. As Romanian foreign minister was quoted: “A much larger NATO presence is necessary and for a much longer period of time.”

NATO Central Command chief David Petraeus said: “Azerbaijan will be used as a transit route to transport NATO arms to Afghanistan and Iraq, NATO ordered more Azerbaijan troops to be deployed. NATO Missile Defense Shield is extending its global missile shield program toe based in Garbala, Azerbaijan.

NATO has got permission of the regime in Kazakhstan to transport military supplies through its territory as well as training its troops under NATO command.

Further east NATO has been cooperating with the willing regime of Mongolia and holding is annual “Khaan Quest 2006” military exercises. Mongolia borders Russo and China.

In the Bering Sea both US and Britain hold nuclear submarine exercises right under the Polar Ice on the northern border of Russia.

COMMENT:

Of course Mr. Medvedev and Mr. Putin do know all about this complete encirclement of Russia, with this military provocation. US would not be able to do this without connivance of the preset traitorous regime of Russia and other traitors that are in power now in former Soviet Republics.

What would US do if the Russian army, navy and air force dared to hold military exercises right on the coastline or inside Florida, California New York or Alaska?

Soviet people will have the last word on these present leaders who usurped power!
