kevinkin Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 SWITCH TO "CLASSIC WARFARE" The NATO battalions are part of a deterrent to be approved by leaders at a summit in Warsaw in July. That will involve forces on rotation, warehoused equipment and a "spearhead" force backed by NATO's 40,000-strong rapid reaction force. Once the decision is made, Germany could deploy to Lithuania before September. Britain is expected to deploy to Estonia, the United States to Latvia and Canada possibly to Poland. German and Danish soldiers fanned out across swamps and woodland in Lithuania this week in war games to learn the unfamiliar Baltic terrain and test their ability to move equipment and personnel quickly to a possible front. Their tanks and armored vehicles were recently brought back from Afghanistan, desert-yellow camouflage painted over with the green-and-black colors of Baltic woodlands. "We are changing our focus from counter-insurgency tactics back to classic warfare," said German Lieutenant Colonel Marc-Ulrich Cropp from his camouflaged command tent at a Lithuanian military base. "Everyone has to be prepared." https://www.yahoo.com/news/nervous-baltics-war-footing-nato-tries-deter-russia-070308435.html?ref=gs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 It's unfortunate that the UKR leaders are just as corrupt as anyone else. So, it's a conflict between oligarchs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
