Re: And, how about this.....The Euro Army will share intel and planning info with the Russians while keeping the U.S. at bay. And, then.....The Euros (NATO) will share intel and planning info with the U.S. and keep Russia at bay.

I don't mean to offend any individual here, but this is something only the French could have dreamed up.


Actually, it's something only a Yank could have dreamed up.... Why don't you just drop the last part:

And, how about this.....The Euro Army will share intel and planning info with the Russians while keeping the U.S. at bay. And, then..... that's it!

Savvy?

Intelligence test

After the rapid reaction force, the logical step is an EU intelligence policy - and that would be the ultimate test of mutual trust between allies

Italy Arrests 5 North Africans Suspected of Bin Laden Ties

By ALESSANDRA STANLEY

partners.nytimes.com

Excerpt:

Italy is in the midst of a bitter election campaign, and the arrests quickly entered the political debate, one reason the government highlighted the arrests so prominently. Mario Borghezio, a legislator from the Northern League, a right-wing party that is campaigning against illegal aliens, particularly from Muslim countries, seized on the arrests to sound an alarm.

``If the crisis in the Middle East worsens suddenly are we sure that the urban ghettos of the Muslim illegal aliens, now filled with mosques and religious centers, won't transform into so many nests of Arab terrorism?''

The above is a footnote to your comment:

Expect the Euro Army and Russian storm troopers to participate in joint military exercises pretty soon?
.....the backdrop will likely be an urban rebel environment?

Oh, boy.

The Euro-Russian joint wargame scheduled this Summer will be pitched as a mere "police exercise" (carding swarthy guys and the like...) --hence its codename: To Protect & to Serve....
