Useless Bluster: Biden Warns US May Conduct Military Exercises in Baltics

Vice President Joe Biden, who has been traversing Europe in the aftermath of the pro-Russian referendum in Crimea, announced on Tuesday that the U.S. “may consider rotating units of its ground and naval forces through the [Baltic] region for training exercises.”

This is meant as a show of force ostensibly to demonstrate America’s military commitment to Europe in the face of Russian assertiveness and military incursions in Ukraine. I also heard Fox News panelists this morning demand the Obama administration send warships to the Black Sea to show Putin who is boss.

Let’s make one thing clear: these useless military exercises and demonstrations of force do absolutely nothing to alter the reality or Russia’s strategic calculations. They are essentially for domestic consumption, to satisfy political hardliners who are attacking the president for being too weak.

They also hold the odious pretense that America owns the world and that Russian gains in its traditional sphere of influence represent a defiance of Uncle Sam, ruler of planet Earth.

  1. This is why for USG to conduct criminals acts toward Balkan nations with Hashim Taci as their primary supporter, Ukrainian Neo, old and ok'd fascism and even the Swedish government would welcome such idea, after all Balkan and Swedish vulture capitalism have a longtime economic relation/connections.

    This is a man in reference to Crimea who have said: " Russian action is a land grabbing method". Look who us talking, Bill Clinton and Madeline Albright with that English miserable personality Tony Blair grabbed and divided Yugoslavia, separated Kosovo from Serbia because it was promised to Saudis and the Balkan mafia leader Hashim Taci, they started the process for Bush regime to invade Iraq, they boycott Iraq for 14 years, killed more then a million Iraqis, manufactured and falsified documents regarding Iraq, which all of their inhuman actions were illegal, yet, this man accusing Russia and want to have military exercises in Balkan! It seams that these people are quick to forget that they already have done their military exercises in Balkan when they cooperated with the Balkan mafia, as they do with Neo, old and ok'd fascism in Ukraine-Kiev, it seams that lier will never remember what was the lie about when he said it, it seams that these people don't want to remember when they were involved in murdering Yugoslavian people, nor the crime they committed toward Iraqi nation.

  2. Why must the "political hardliners" be satisfied? If polls are any indicator, these war lovers are in the distinct minority, although the msm is doing its level best to turn them around. Many in this vocal minority have never questioned the brainwashing that they have received since elementary school about the big, bad Russian bear. If President Obama is truly not controlled by them, he could be a hero by throwing the McCain forces under the bus. We elected Obama and got McCain anyway. Classic bait and switch.

  3. Only one way to end wars people: Implement a draft that includes all males and females with no age limits what-so-ever and send the neocons and obamacons to the front lines with 110 pounds of gear on their backs and their m-16 rifles. Once the mass murderes get a taste of what war is really like by getting their arms, legs, and half their skulls blown off via IED attacks, you will see the policy of using military force as a means for regime change come to a speedy end…………..
