"And your point is?" My point is why is eBay taking off all Confederate material from their site when Nazi material is still allowed? It's you liberals that are in a state of panic.

NATO Leaders Seek 40,000 Troops Along Russian BorderUS Pledges Troops and Equipment to Latest Escalation by Jason Ditz, June 22, 2015 Print This \| Share This Every NATO conference lately seems to center on ideas to escalate military deployments along the border with Russia. This time they’re really going for broke, as the “spearhead” force they started last year with 4,000 troops along the Russian border could get expanded to as many as 40,000 troops. The “spearhead” force was initially meant to forestall a Russian invasion of Europe, something which US officials were constantly predicting was imminent. A year later and with the invasion still looking extremely unlikely, officials just keep doubling down at every opportunity. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter has headed to Europe this week to try to convince various European nations, notably Germany, to dramatically increase military spending so they can afford to send a bunch of excess troops to the Russian border. He will also commit US troops and equipment to the plan. What all this US contribution will entail is unclear, but Carter has already said it will include air surveillance, airlift capabilities, and ground-based artillery forces, as well as a hefty number of ground troops. Carter is also talking up an escalation of sanctions against Russia.

Bush III is doing everything he can to kick off WWIII to distract the public from his failed policies. Russia Fed Up With US "Lecturing" As Pentagon Deploys 250 Tanks To Eastern EuropeSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/23/2015 - 14:26 "If they want to lecture us on democracy building, let them lecture students at some American university," Russia’s Commissioner for Human Rights, Democracy and the Rule of Law Konstantin Dolgov said Tuesday, regarding the collapse of a bilateral arrangement struck in 2009 between Moscow and Washington. Fortunately for Dolgov, it doesn't appear as though he, or any other Russian diplomats for that matter, will be forced to endure a "lecture" on democracy from the US anytime soon because as the positioning of 250 Bradleys and self-propelled howitzers, and associated armored brigade combat team equipment" in Eastern Europe makes clear, the time for dialogue of any kind has long since passed.
