NATO 'aggravating tensions' with new deployment of thousands to Russian border

The United States and the 27 other NATO-member nations on Wednesday agreed to a new multinational force that will patrol the eastern European border setting up what many believe is "a dangerous dynamic...that has every possibility of spiraling out of control." 

"The result of this massive increase of spending will be more military hardware, more troops, more provocative exercises on Russia’s western flank and much more tension between Moscow and NATO—which once upon a time promised Russia it would not expand 'one inch east' following the collapse of the Soviet Union," Bridge wrote. 

"The fact is," he continued, "from Russia’s point of view, foreign troops are there; they will have a constant presence regardless as to how they are defined. And that is how NATO—not Russia—is aggravating tensions with Russia."

DYI Comments:  Russia is correct.  Since the end of WWII the U.S. State Department and England their first objective was to contain the Soviet Union, then break the Soviet Union, expand NATO eastward, with the final objective to break apart Russia eliminating the Caucasus', the northern Laplands and all land east of the Ural Mountains.  If this is accomplished this would significantly reduce if not eliminate Russia as a naval power thereby eliminating their ability to project power on a world wide basis.  Those who rule the world's oceans rule free trade.  Today America along with their staunch ally England rule the worlds oceans.

Is the U.S./U.K./NATO/EU alliance "aggravating tensions with Russia?"  Absolutely.  Russia will have to respond by increasing her land based armies and air forces sapping their economy plus leaving very little left for naval power.  Geopolitics are being played.  Russia knows this but unable to stop its ultimate conclusion.  The best they do is delay the inevitable for Russia is outnumbered and a far smaller economy as compared to NATO. This may take another 10 to 20 years but it will happen.
