The UK is also sending an RAF Typhoon aircraft from RAF Coningsby to Romania, while the troops will go to Estonia

The UK is sending 150 extra troops to Estonia, bringing the total up from promised 650 to 800, to fulfil its commitment to NATO for setting up four new battalions on the eastern flank. This is the biggest build-up of troops in the region since the Cold War.

The UK is also sending an RAF Typhoon aircraft from RAF Coningsby to Romania, while the troops will go to Estonia. The US has promised to send troops, tanks and artillery to Poland. Canada, Germany, France and Denmark also promised to send more troops to the Russia border in the wake of Russian aircraft flying close to the British Isles. The aircraft were reportedly part of a fleet that was headed to Syria.

These are sovereign nations that are our allies, these are not "Russia's borders". This is a handful of troops not some invasion force.

Putin will do what he wants, Trump will bow down and kiss his ring. Putin will start the war or not as he likes, it doesn't matter who wins here.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

I have a hard time getting worked up about this.  The number of troops/assets being discussed are tiny -- it's a symbolic gesture only.

Fear mongering.  The way of the Trump Democrats.

Is it fear mongering to point out that Hillary strongly supports a no fly zone over Syria. ISIS does not have an air force so whose war planes is Hillary threatening to shoot down? (Hint Russian/Syrian war planes) now what do you think Russia is going to do once Hillary starts shooting down Russian aircraft that is operating legally in Syria? (Hint CA-BOOM)

If only you lot had considered that before nominating an unelectable candidate...

I vote on issues. On the issues Trump was by far the best candidate which is why is easily won the GOP nomination.  But Hillary appreciates your support.

On the issues, liberal Trump was by far the biggest fraud in the bunch

Obama fears putin and Trump is a fanboi.

Maybe a Limited Nuclear Exchange is Obama's final step in his plan to 'fundamentally transform America'.
