This, we already knew. But there is one item in the below-quoted story that caught my eye:
The escalating tensions between Russia and NATO mark an "extraordinarily dangerous time" and could intensify further, a leading analyst has said, according to Business Insider.
"We are in an extraordinarily dangerous time right now because both Russia and NATO are starting to exercise substantial military activity [well, Russia, anyway] in close proximity to each other in Eastern Europe and the Baltics," said Robert Dannenberg, a CIA veteran and analyst for Goldman Sachs' Office of Global Security.
Dannenberg believes that Russia is a top strategic threat to the United States and that there is a high risk that the situation could escalate based on Russia's policies toward Ukraine.
"Many of the channels of rapid military and intelligence communications that were carefully constructed during the Cold War have been dismantled, lamentably, mostly from the U.S. side," he said, according to Business Insider. [emphasis added]
You know how we on this site have been arguing for quite a while now that Barack Obama is attempting to set up the United States for a war with the Russian Federation that we cannot win as part of his life's mission to "reduce America to the level of the rest of the world"? I would say that that little disclosure make it at least game and set.
Match is still to come.
