US Agitating For Nuclear War With Russia, Happy To Put EU At Risk By Deployment Cruise Missiles, Will Any EU Government Agree?
The United States, lead by its warmongering'Neo-Con-Artists', having already surrounded Russia and China is now apparently considering the deployment of
ground-launched cruise missiles in Europe in order to 'counter Russia’s
counter measures' on its own doorstep in Ukraine, according to a new report.
Orwellian UK BANNED Press TV: The Associated Press reported on Thursday that the decision was made after Russia allegedly violated a nuclear treaty. The
US accuses Russia of violating the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear
Forces (INF) Treaty. Moscow denied the allegation and said the testing
of a ground-launched cruise missile in July 2014 was in compliance with
the INF treaty. The Obama administration that surprisingly has been even more aggressive than the Bush regime, announced that it has three options for the so-called treaty violations. The
options are defenses to stop a treaty-violating missile, the
"counterforce" option to attack a missile preemptively and the
"countervailing strike capabilities" option that implies the potential
use of nuclear forces, the report said. The "counterforce" option
also means the potential deployment of ground-launched cruise missiles
in Europe, said Pentagon official Brian McKeon. Russia says the US
missile plans are a real threat not only to Russia but also to the
whole world, adding the missile systems harm the strategic balance of
forces across the globe.

economic sanctions against Russia over the Ukraine crisis, critics in
Washington say the Obama administration’s policy has been a failure. On
Friday, US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter will meet with top American
defense and diplomatic officials in Germany about Washington’s
strategies against Moscow. They will also discuss the expansion of military exercises or beef up assistance to other countries in the region. Amid increasing tensions in the region, the US and its NATO allies will begin new military exercise in the Baltic Sea on Friday. The
drills known as BALTOPS involve about 50 ships from 17 countries for 15
days, featuring anti-submarine warfare, air defense, interception of
suspect vessels and amphibious landings. This is while US State
Department spokeswoman Marie Harf on Wednesday threatened Russia with
more costs over new developments in eastern Ukraine. “Any new
attack or aggressive action by combined Russian-separatist forces is
unacceptable and contravenes the Minsk agreements. Russia bears direct
responsibility for preventing these attacks and implementing a
ceasefire. Any attempts to seize additional Ukrainian territory will be
met with increased costs,” she told reporters.
