Pushing Russia toward war.

Ever since the Soros -financed overthrow of Ukrainian President Yanukovits, Russia has been systematically pushed toward war. First it was the statement to Russia that the Russian fleet would not be allowed to renew its lease in the Crimea. The Russians responded by retaking the Crimea. Then came the veiled threats of putting NATO troops on Russia's border. These threats are no longer veiled as Fogh Rasmussen has disclosed plans to put forward bases into countries East of what used to be the Iron Curtain. The purpose of these Bases? To receive fast response NATO troops (meaning American Marines) in case the Russian tourists start coming with hardware.

That is not how the Russians see this. First they saw an attempt to deny them a warm water port (a former Russian territory) which they have leased. Then, when they retook the Crimea, the Western powers responded by an economic war. Now, the West is threatening Russia with building forward bases that can be occupied within hours of a decision to commence hostilities.

Let's remember that Russia has withdrawn from E Europe VOLUNTARILY. Now, Russia is urging the Ukrainians to adopt a more neutral stance and provide autonomy to the largely Russian-speaking Eastern Ukraine. So far, the Ukrainians responded by military force and have largely retaken the regions of Luhansk and Donetsk:

NATO's efforts to start a war with Russia is deliberate. It is the act of madmen whose economic policies have failed and now try to rescue their failed economic morass by war. Democrats, for example, believe to this day that the Great Depression was ended by WWII.
