Russia's Bonds Are Toxic Nuclear Waste Again, Hello Bondageddon
Ben Aris
The United States is transferring the 1st Armored Brigade of the 1st Cavalry Division from Texas to Poland in the coming summer.
It is reported that the transfer of this military unit is carried out “as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve , which aims to strengthen the US allies on the eastern border. The brigade includes tanks, combat vehicles, self-propelled howitzers.
The Russian military is now getting restive watching the US advance and there is even talk of a military coup. Some strategist don't want to wait for the inevitable, but rather to go on the offensive sooner rather than later, and they view Putin as weak and dithering. They are aware that they could have been in Kiev in a few days without much of a fight following the Ukrainian coup, but now it would be much more of a slog. And the US has had a chance to beef up its European presence. Why wait for a full-scale US build-up on preparation for an invasion.
