He sent a bunch of troops to countries that border Russia including Norway. I think there were about 7 or 8 countries Obama sent troops to, like the Baltic states. She guessed that Trump would pull them back out when he got in office, let's hope not.

will raise hell if Trump pulls them out. Now is the time for the Dealer-in-Chief to show us his talent in getting increased payments for USA's military assistance.

just as soon as Russia and Mexico sign a defense treaty.

The US pledged in the early 1990's to not expand NATO to the east,
and that pledge has been broken by every subsequent US President.

"Exceptional" hyper-powers get to blow off the pledges they make;
solemn promises are for suckers.

Central Europe should be a de-militarized zone, as was envisioned by

George Baker did make such a pledge, and that is what
led to the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact.

"No formal deal was struck, but from all the evidence, the quid pro quo was clear: Gorbachev acceded to Germany’s western alignment and the U.S. would limit NATO’s expansion."

and they are pushing for military face-offs against both
Russia and China.

Are you really OK with that?

the LA Times has a LOT of other reputable sources
that agree with that article.

Veterans For Peace opposes all aggression - including that
