Britain will send hundreds more troops close to Russia’s border, the Government has said, as the Prime Minister also called for “pressure” on Moscow over the Syria crisis.
Around 800 soldiers along with tanks, armoured vehicles and drones will now head to Estonia in the spring in a Nato effort to reassure the Baltic states over Russian aggression.
SOURCE
Guy Verhofstadt, former prime minister of Belgium and now the EU’s representative on Brexit talks with the UK, called Spain’s decision to allow the refuelling “scandalous”.
"It is scandalous that Spain, a member of NATO and the EU, is today allowing the Russian #Kuznetsov fleet to refuel and receive technical assistance on Spanish territory. Only last week – this Spanish Government signed up to a statement from the European Council accusing Russia of war crimes against civilians in #Aleppo, yet today it provides assistance to a fleet which has one purpose; the annihilation of Aleppo and the harassment of EU & NATO forces."

Is it starting to look like WW3 yet? Let's see if the main critiques of these kinds of threads are answered.
1. Is this "saber rattling"? No.
2. Is this move unequivocally directly related to countering Russia? Yes.
3. Is this "fearmongering"? No.
There was something in the news yesterday that seemed to slip by everyone:
Guy Verhofstadt, former prime minister of Belgium and now the EU’s representative on Brexit talks with the UK, called Spain’s decision to allow the refuelling “scandalous”.
"It is scandalous that Spain, a member of NATO and the EU, is today allowing the Russian #Kuznetsov fleet to refuel and receive technical assistance on Spanish territory.

Did Guy Verhofstadt just state that Russia is using a fleet of warships to terrorize EU & NATO forces? I realize that the word "harassment" is used in the quote above, but how does that word fit in this context? It seems like it could be a coded message.
Either way, "the harassment of EU & NATO forces" sounds like it could be an act of war to me. That's the essence of my argument for why WW3 has already started. It's well past the point of "saber rattling" and "posturing", actual harassment/terrorism/warfare (take your pick of words) is involved.
the Brits that cower, die fast. The ones that stand their ground get angelic powers and become the New World leaders after all of Lucifers goons are Judged and Hung.
spain cancelled this, yesterday.

Ever wondered if it is a spiritual war where the peasants in the soldiers native country are soon to be tested by Jesus.
1) remove all military personal overseas.
2) create war between imported terrorists (ISIS) and local Brits.
3) the Brits that cower, die fast. The ones that stand their ground get angelic powers and become the New World leaders after all of Lucifers goons are Judged and Hung.

I've stood my ground alot of times, yet this didn't make me gain any Level Up Angelic Powers, nor did I become leader of the New World and made Lucy's goon magically hang in the process?
Maybe I did it wrong? Perhaps I didn't do my stance right when I stood my ground?

They've been nothing but trouble since we let them in.
Turkey can go too.

So why hasn’t NATO intervened Libya-style, to oust dictator? First, Syria has allies that Libya did not – Russia and China, which defend Syria at the UN by vetoing Security Council resolutions – and Iran and Hezbollah, which, along with Russia, supply Syria with the arms and trained soldiers used to fight the ill-equipped and poorly organized rebel forces.

Don't really see how anyone or anything for that matter could stand there ground against a nuclear attack.
This has nothing to do with spiritual war, this is about humanity's inability to communicate without resorting to waving there nuclear penis at one another.
If there is a third world war of the nuclear variety nobody wins and all it will serve to achieve is to set back humanity for the next 10,000 years or so.
