'Provocative' Putin Reacts To U.S. Presence - Puts U.S. Warship On Notice As Washington Moves Troops

WASHINGTON – Russian President Vladimir Putin has begun to react to subtle U.S. military deployments in the periphery of Russia.

 

 

In an act deemed by the Pentagon as “provocative,” a Russian Sukhoi-24 fighter jet repeatedly buzzed the U.S.S. Donald Cook as low as 500 feet over a 90-minute period April 12 as the U.S. warship trolled the Black Sea in international waters near Crimea.

 

With enhanced Russian military presence in Crimea, the prospect of further provocations against ships and military aircraft from the U.S. and its partners of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is expected to increase, sources say.

 

In turn, such an episode would only increase Russian surveillance of Western military assets, possibly affecting their ability to conduct normal reconnaissance and intelligence-gathering operations.

 

Meanwhile, the Pentagon is considering the deployment of up to 10,000 ground troops to Poland to show U.S. commitment to allied security in the area.

 

After a meeting with Polish Defense Minister Tomasz Siemoniak last week, U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Poland would play a major role in the NATO buildup of troops in Eastern Europe “under U.S. patronage.”

 

Signaling a change in overall strategic defense policy, Hagel said the U.S. needs to “re-pivot back to Europe from Asia to confront “Russian aggression” in Ukraine.

 

One of the options for the U.S. is to move a 4,500-member combat brigade from Fort Hood, Texas, to Europe.

 

A forward contingent already is on the ground in Poland to oversee what may become a series of military exercises with NATO allies in the region. It’s a response to Putin’s apparent intention of taking over all of Ukraine and possibly other areas of Eastern Europe where there is a concentration of ethnic Russians.

 

The prospect has prompted concern among NATO countries in the region, which have assessed that the Russian military is stronger than all of their militaries combined. Consequently, the NATO members are hoping the U.S. will increase its presence to confront what they consider “Russian aggression.”

      WTF IS MY COUNTRY DOING?

      THEY SHOULD HAVE REJECTED THIS GRABGE OF A EXCUSE!

      ARE THEY OUT OF THEIR MINDS OR THEIR ASS IS SOLD OUT SO MUCH TO THE USA THAT’S IT’S BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS?

      I AM POLISH! I AM VERY :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: AT THIS STUPID RUSE OF USA TOWARDS MY COUNTRY!

        HEY Im Canadian and I feel you. My countrys moronic leader is contributing our best fighter jets to the “cause”.
        Dont you HATE it when country leaders SPEAK FOR THEIR COUNTRY’s CITIZENS as though all those Citizens AGREE:
        ” OUR COUNTRY (America, Canada, Uk etc).. stands in solidarity with you -BLAH, BLAH BLAH”-when the REALITY is that The actual countries CITIZENS are furious that THEY are being “lumped in” with the greedy , psycopath politicians and presidents and prime ministers, because no …..they (the CITIZENS) want nothing to do with what the POLITICIANS are blowing hot air about.

        Be assured there are millions apon millions of AMERICANS that “dont stand in solidarity” with UKRAINE (because they KNOW this was an ILLEGAL Coup in KIEV backed by and approved and applauded by the USA)….-as their leader “speaks for them all “- and dont want their stupid miitary building up in YOURS…so if possible, please pass this message on to your countrymen.

        Its only the “out of touch” disconnected, greedy , hungry for war POLITICIANS that want this childish fight …NOT the country’s CITIZENS.

        I WISH THEY WOULD ALL GROW UP and become ADULTS because NONE of them are fit to run ANY country , let alone a lemonade stand.

          Sorry no offense when referring to the US Military.
          I didnt mean the military are stupid -in fact THEY are incredibly brave but “forced ” into this INSANITY….. , what I meant was the whole idea of building up the military there in Poland is STUPID.
          ASSININE. ALL LEADERS HAVE LOST THEIR MINDS!

        • DOOMSDAY!

          Thank you very much for the understanding and we do talk among each other.

          We Polish are far more war better than most people being the first to occupy Moscow and getting rid of a 300 000 Turkish army with only 30 000 soldiers or less actually.

          We are the first country in the world to have founded special forces that are now all around thw world in different contexts such as Navy Seals and the SIS.

          So we will most likely revolt far more nasty if it comes to that.

      So…when we punch the other guy in the nose and he fights back, the other guy is being ‘provocative.’

      Just a note for those who haven’t heard. The Russian SU24 was locked on by all the weapons systems of the US Donald Cook, including the top of the line Aegis guns – then all the ships radar, locking systems blacked out and left the ship completely unprotected. They could not get any of their weapons systems back on line. The SU24 buzzed the ship near twelve times, with the Russian pilots most likely laughing their heads off – the SU24 had the latest and most advanced weapons and radar jamming system on board and was jamming all the ships systems, completely knocking them out: not till the plane left were they able to bring systems back on line.

      The ships captain ordered the ship immediately into port, reported the incident and the top brass was both absolutely agast, completely surprises that the Russians had something that could and did make their top of the line combat ship a sitting duck in the water. When the ship reached shore more than two dozen of the crew filed for resignation from the navy citing that they did not want to be sitting ducks or cannon fodder for this Administration.

      • DOOMSDAY!

        ARE YOU SERIOUS?

        WHAT IS YOUR SOURCE PLEASE EVEN IF RUSSIAN?

    • Eyeswideshut

      USA/NATO/Western Europe are lurching us into WWIII. The BRICS countries better hurry up and financially disarm the USA by rejecting the US$, and start trading yuan and ruble backed by gold to collapse the dollar. That’s the only effective way to defeat the US beast before it causes further devastation and horror on this planet.

    • MontanaMel

      Disturbing info there Jarhead…
      Please confirm your info and give us the source(s) too.

      Such a “game changer” system/capability would become highly interesting to our “other” foes as well, eh?… How about those Iranian nuke mongers?… Do you suppose they have been sold this system and have just never turned it on yet?…eh?…or, North Korea and that shavetail idiot?

      Besides, maybe a few of us “citizens” can visit Abdulla’s fine arms bazar for our own domestic use, eh..? Might be very useful when the drones show up eh?

      • DOOMSDAY!

        I suspect China also has it and yes some allies of Russia may have versions of it.
