<\/a><\/center>\nYeah, and maybe we can call Wesley Clarke back to lead them. What could possibly go wrong? From Stars & Stripes<\/a>;<\/p>\n
At a conference in Brussels Sunday, NATO\u2019s supreme allied commander, U.S. Air Force Gen. Philip Breedlove, said the alliance must consider the positioning and readiness of its forces because of concerns that Russia\u2019s military buildup on Ukraine\u2019s eastern border could pose a threat to the separatist Trans-Dniester region of Moldova, which borders Ukraine.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe force that is at the Ukrainian border now, to the east, is very, very sizable and very, very ready,\u201d Breedlove said at a forum of the German Marshall Fund.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is absolutely sufficient force postured on the eastern border of Ukraine to run to Trans-Dniester if the decision was made to do that, and that is very worrisome,\u201d Breedlove said, according to the BBC. \u201cRussia is acting much more like an adversary than a partner.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So let’s put a counter-force in their face, hoping, as NATO does with regularity, that nothing bad happens when we put an unprepared, ill-trained force in the way of “an adversary” to act as a speedbump or tripwire. What could possibly happen? I’m sure Putin will wait while we build up our forces in Europe from the States like Hussein did in 1990. Just because we don’t learn lessons from our mistakes, that doesn’t mean that our adversaries don’t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
