Recently I was talking to my Russian friend. We had a discussion, he was trying to convince me that Europe will be smart enought not to allow Americans to encircle Russia and China. I just laughed. Mind you we both live in a weternised defacto Nato country. In my opinion and experience, it really does not matter what the current USA administration is saying, I mean if they are approaching Russia with a carrot or with a stick, their ultimate goal is to conquer that place or at least to control it indirectly. Therefore they are organising these types of war games and they will never stop. They want to be the sole ruling power on this world. Full stop.

I am a Canadian and live in Canada. When I read this article I became very angry. There is absolutely no reason for this behaviour from the US and I think that Obama should inform the worlds citizens as to his intent. I sincerely hope that Russia will continue her practise of self control however Russia needs to bring this issue out into the open. This act is a slap in the face to the Russian government and I support them in trying to find a resolution to this serious and stupid problem. It seems that Obama has a forked tongue and is misleading his people and the rest of the world.

I just want to say that I am ASHAMED (like many other Serbs will be when they discover) because of the Serb army participation in the drill ! This is treason of our puppet government and president towards their own people who suffered lot be cause of NATO aggression ! And people still suffer because of NATO occupation ! This act is also treason towards friendship of Russia ! I do not know how to convince you that those people do NOT represent Serbian people! Today Serbia is country under occupation and control of George Soros and similar to him. Very soon , I have no doubt , our grotesque president will recognize Kosovo. And when that happens that will be end of Serbia and maybe start of civil war, that will destroy us completely! Suffering of Serb people is not to be finished soon. Once again , I'm deeply sorry be cause of traitorous act of our government !

Gentlemen! What is NATO except an organization with a rich history of failed attempts to assert itself within itself. Take the example of Greece and Turkey, where the first believes this organization would protect it from Turkey's political and other meanders. Take the squabbling between France and other less independent States, such as Germany, the UK or Italy! Consider the bag of corrupt and bankrupt countries that have joined the failed club with the illusion they could finally be considered independent such as Poland, and whatever else the wave brought along during the past decade. Consider NATO's destruction of Serbia and the yet unresolved repercussions whereby half the members of this same obsolete club do not recognize NATO's creation in Kosovo. Look at the mess they are stuck in in Afghanistan. NATO, gentlemen! has never won and does not have the military structure to win any war, indeed any battle! NATO sent a task force to "protect" ships from pirates in the Indian Ocean; look at the result! They are a club where Ukrainians, Georgians, Albanians and Yugoslav Macedonians want to join. Just imagine the level of the organization! Why should the world's largest and richest country in any raw material known to Man even bother to speak to such a club of failures and incompetent military bureaucrats? Is Russia afraid of poor and under-developed rogue States such as the Ukraine and Georgia? Russia moved into Georgia to stop unnecessary civilian massacres. What did NATO do? Russia closed off the gas taps to Europe. What did NATO do? Before the activation of NATO troupes in Afghanistan, the Taliban (just a matter of speech, of course!) controlled 10% of the country; now, they control over 75% Afghanistan. That's NATO for you. So, why bother! They want to support their stooge in Georgia, let them. And when the time comes, shoot a rocket at them, and see what happens. Best regards and Happy Easter to all of you! Junius.

ATTENTION ALL POSTERS!!! When you say NATO you must understand that the UNITED STATES hides under the banner of NATO. In no way does NATO choose to invade or surround Russia or build a missile defence system in Europe. Those decisions are the sole property of the United States. The United States does not care about any other nation in NATO, nor does the US ask NATO if she should invade or war with a nation. The United States almost always acts alone. The US will invade another country even if NATO disagrees, this problem must be seen and understood by all nations. In the very near future, the United States will cause NATO to fall apart because of this difference. The United States will suffer a great loss to herself and the remaining nations in NATO will all look very stupid for not confronting the US.

Be careful. This is the last endeavour to destroy Russia by chatting. It's another horse of Troy. No agreement with NATO. No interference in your backyard. If they go to Georgia you have to react without esitation. Your Power is huge. They are sliding in the mud of immorality. Show to the world your determination to defend yourself and your allies from the violence of the "free market". The western people is looking to you.
