Russian Troops Massing Along Ukrainian and Moldovian Borders – Russians May Invade at Any Moment – The Cold War Begins Again..

Coming quickly on the heels of storming the Crimea, NATO’s top commander US Air Force General Philip Breedlove  is now warning that Russian has massed along both the Moldavian and Ukrainian borders including some 8500 artillery troops. The massing of troops was covered under the “Snap” exercise but that now appears to be ploy to put large amounts of troops in strategic positions to move into the Ukraine and Moldova’s separatist Transdniestria region.

Gen. Breedlove is quoted as saying “The (Russian) force that is at the Ukrainian border now to the east is very, very sizable and very, very ready.”  Which is very worrisome and forced NATO commanders back onto a Cold War era footing as they are now seeking to mobilize forces. Meanwhile Tony Bilken, Deputy National Security Adviser, is quoted by CNN as saying “It’s possible that they are preparing to move in.” This appears to be consistent with Moldova’s request to rejoin Russia.

So what does this really mean?  Simply put, these actions move the dialogue back to a 1980′s era Cold War and will erase the last 30 years of dialogue.  We will once again live in a world, with a reconstituted Warsaw Pact, where the Russian Federation stands as the staunch adversaries to NATO and we may see increased preparation for a World War 3 kind of large scale conflagration.  This would include the rapid expansion of the US Military as well as reinvigorated military industrial projects like the original SDI initiative coming back into the fold. This will most likely also lead to the rapid pull out of NATO forces in Afghanistan as those forces will be requiring to aggregate forces in western Europe to counter these movements.

It’s a Dangerous Time

As the Russian Federation begins to actively expand its borders, and reignite the Cold War, its a dangerous time for NATO and affiliated countries.  The annexations will no doubt continue but outside of actual engagement there is not really much the west can do to prevent the turmoil. The interesting element to note is that the countries which are rejoining the Russian  Federation are mostly conduits of resources or resource providers (i.e. grains, foodstuff, minerals etc..).  In the case of the Ukraine, it represents a massive set of pipelines into the west for natural gas.  Without that natural gas, produced by Russia, most of Europe will be forced to ration natural gas usage and will be put into a very perilous position and if Russia controls the pipelines end to end, through the total annexation of the Ukraine, they are free to set export policy.
