| [Mail] Nato forces put on a show of strength in Estonia, just yards from the Russian border, with troops, armoured personnel carriers and tanks forming a military parade. Around 100 British, Dutch, Spanish, Latvian and Lithuanian troops yesterday marched in the snow in the city of Narva, alongside some 1,300 Estonian soldiers, to mark the independence of the formerly Soviet-ruled republic, now a member of the European Union and Nato. Today Moscow responded by deploying thousands of soldiers on exercise just across Russia's borders with Estonia and Latvia. Russian President Vladimir Putin also lashed Ukraine's decision to cut off gas to its eastern regions, saying the move 'smacks of genocide'. How wars are started, national emergencies declared, elections postponed, and all of that. |

| #3 Again, ANTI-US US-LED OWG GLOBALISM = 'TIS THE US = POTUS OBAMA WHOM WILL SURRENDER LIKE FRANCE = ALLOW CO-SUPERPOWER PUTIN-LED RUSSIA TO EXPAND ITS SPHERE OF INFLUENCE IN LIEU OF THE US. The above, however, is NOT to argue that Darth Vlad can run roughshod anywhere over Europe or the ME as he pleases - IOW, OWG CO-SUPERPOWER RUSSIA WILL LIKELY NOT BE ALLOWED TO ENTER OR GROSSLY VIOLATE THE REGIONAL OR GEOPOL SPACE OF ANOTHER OWG CO-SUPERPOWER(S), AT LEAST FOR THE TIME BEING. ALL THINGYS HAVE THEIR OBJECTIVE + SUBJECTIVE, REAL OR NOMINAL, ETC. LIMITS, EVEN THE GLOBALISTS. The more MilAssets or MilFors the US Govt-DOD commits agz Vlad + ISIS, ME [read, Iran] + Africa, the less will be agz China in East Asia-Pacific. |

| #1 A show of strength is hundreds of tanks, artillery pieces, IFV's and tens of thousands of mech infantry arrayed in battle order, along with a numbered air force's planes doing a fly-by. This isn't a show of strength. It's a measly tripwire force aimed at warning the Russians that NATO will respond if they cross the border. |
