Anna Mulrine, CSM: Why NATO says it's time to stop hugging the Russian bear

After the cold war, America hoped that European security was permanently solved, but Russia's recent forays into Ukraine and Syria have been followed by a shift in US rhetoric.

WASHINGTON — In little-noticed remarks this week, NATO's supreme allied commander, US Air Force Gen. Philip Breedlove, said that for too long, the United States has "hugged the bear" of Russia. But now, he said, it's time to get tough.

This toughness should come in the form of more US troops to Europe, he said, and more "high end" training to prepare American forces for a potential battle against the former cold war foe.

The remarks, made while Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was visiting Europe this week, have struck some as a bit alarmist. True, Russia has invaded Crimea and used agents provocateurs, covert operations, and even some of its own Red Army forces in Ukraine.

Update: U.S. General: We Have 'Hugged' the Russian Bear for Too Long (Washington Free Beacon)

WNU Editor: I am not impressed by General Breedlove's remarks. To make a difference .... the US would need to deploy a large number of brigades, squadrons, personnel, assets, etc. to Europe .... a deployment that is not going to happen because of limitation of funds and resources. I see his remarks more as an attempt to make sure that his budgets and resources are not diverted to the other commanders who have equally pressing needs .... especially to the conflicts in the Middle East and Afghanistan. General Breedlove is also going against the sentiment of many European nations .... who have no interest or desire to go back to the days of the Cold War .... even if this version is a miniature one.

KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......

Revenge is a Poison meant for others, which we end up swallowing ourselves. Vengence is a Dark Light that blinds all who seek it. Don’t argue with Idiots.. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
