The U.S. Army will hold live-fire drills about 70 miles from the Russian border over the next 10 days, Pentagon officials said as they announced another show of force on Moscow’s doorstep.
U.S. Army Europe’s 41st Field Artillery Brigade will conduct the Rail Gunner Rush drills in Tapa, Estonia, in partnership with Estonian Defense Forces. It’s the 41st Field Artillery Brigade’s first live-fire training event outside of Germany, officials said. About 70 soldiers will take part in the exercise.
While the Pentagon said the drills aren’t a direct response to any recent Russian aggression, it’s clear the U.S. military is taking calculated measures to send a message to an increasingly brazen Kremlin.
While Estonia is a NATO member, it also was directly ruled by Moscow within living memory. The small Baltic state was a republic of the Soviet Union until the Communist regime’s 1991 disintegration.
“Rail Gunner Rush will demonstrate the strong bilateral partnership between the U.S. and Estonia, and test the brigade’s deployment capabilities, readiness and interoperability with NATO allies,” U.S. Army Europe said in a statement. “This routine training exercise is not tied to any current events in the region.”
Just last week, U.S. B-52 bombers flew in close formation across all 30 NATO countries in another show of force in Europe.
The moves come against the backdrop of increased tensions with the Russian military all over the world. In Syria last week, at least four Americans were injured when their military vehicle collided with a Russian vehicle in a disputed part of the country. The two sides traded blame for the incident and said the other had breached longstanding “deconfliction protocols.”
lol, the head of the Russian military clearly stated that any attack by NATO forces will be met in the first instance with tactical nukes. I doubt the sheeple in Eastern European nations know this. If any of you have friends or family unfortunate enough to be stationed in Eastern Europe, they are as good as dead if things get hot. Who knows, maybe the Russians will use neutron contamination to make Eastern Europe a no-mans-land?
Why would Russia, a country that has a hard time securing its massive border, attack the very countries who buy its oil and gas?
As a retired officer of the US military, I can assure you that today’s US military is a collection of trannies, homos, lesbos, perverts, Satanists and overpaid, overweight
incompetents. NATO would never invade Russia. That would be a total loss for NATO.
Look at the US today. The US has sanctions here and there, and all around the globe. The US antagonizes everyone it can, including allies, like Germany (Nordstream). The US throws its hollow weight around like Pompeo’s fat gut. Russia is under non-violent (for now) attack by the US because the Illuminati Satanic Bolshevik Khazars HATE Russia. Centuries ago, Russia destroyed the evil nation of Khazaria, the homeland of the Satanic Khazars, and the Satanist Khazars want revenge. This is why Jews were the driving force in the 1917 revolution in Russia. This is why Jews plundered the wealth of Russia again in the 1990s under the leadership of the Jew Yeltsin. This is why Russia is under attack today. Jews have destroyed America. Jews rule America. Israel did 911.
Try to find the TRUTH. Turn OFF JEW TV, get off JEW social media. Get a life. Find the truth.

To the extent that may actually be true, it’s irrelevant. What they’re doing is implementing a Rand Corp. study entitled “Extending Russia.” Apparently the strategy is to wear Russia down in part by creating apparent political, economic and military threats to which Russia will have to respond i.e. military exercises nearby, new intermediate range missiles and air defense systems deployed near Russia’s borders, attempts at color revolutions in Belarus, arming Ukraine, obstructing Nord Stream 2, demonizing Putin, etc.
Harold Smith: I think the Russians are well aware of this strategy, hence the public statement that in the first instance of NATO agression, tactical nukes will be used.
What could possibly go wrong if an drunken imbecile keeps poking a bear with a pointy stick?
Great accurate comment above by WAW, as usual.
Remember this. Nobody will conquer Russia. The day they would attack Russia will be the dooms day for them. Khazars will be defeated wherever they are. You will never conquer the spirit of Russian people, they will chase you away from their country and find you everywhere you hide your rotten ass.
