America conducts training excercises in Russia as well as many other parts of the world.
We also have many military bases all over the world.
How would you feel if Russia or Japan had a military base here ???
Typical ignorant elitist american mentality.
We can do whatever we want, start wars, take over country's. Yet people fret about what the big bad russians are going to do when they get here.
get your minds right people.

as a mod i respect you, but probably you didn't hear about FEMA camps have YOU?
I see this as a big deal, since its not on the news, and also why now?

I don't see anything on the horizon that will make people riot in the streets - to where we would need to be CONTROLLED.
Nobody is sticking their head in the sand - some people just don't jump to paranoid conclusions. The most likely explanation for this is training or joint exercises, etc. When these Russians start patrolling the streets or setting up checkpoints you might be onto something - until then it's almost certainly nothing sinister.

Call me a dooms dayer , war monger or what ever, you know I am telling the truth.
Remember someone up there is watching over this great nation. we may very well find ourselves in a situation that requires us to fight for it in the near future if we want to keep enjoying the freedoms we now have.

If America invading and occupying Iraq is a good thing.
Bringing freedom and democracy to the people with torture and helicopter gun ships.
What can be so bad about Russia doing exactly the same thing in America ?
The Russians only want to kill every insurgent and terrorist in America, and introduce a Russian puppet government, and free America from your illegitimate despot President.
Exactly as America has been trying to do in Iraq for the last seven years.
Once Obama is hanged, (like Saddam) and Russian tanks are in the streets, you will be free.

You do realize that Russia's not at war with the US, right? Nato training...nothing to see here, stop the fear mongering!
Also, 10 units, omgomgomgomg, better stock up on M16s, they could take over the US...it's almost an invasion.

This has nothing to do with sticking your head in the sand, it's simply called "NOT BEING A PARANOID LUNATIC". I mean, seriously, joint military exercises are totally normal nowadays. Some US troops have been training with Swiss soldiers in Switzerland a few months ago, do you see them crying about an "invasion"? No, because the whole thought is ridiculous. If you seriously believe those 10 units are the start of a Russian invasion, you are paranoid beyond anything that's sane. That's not an attack, just an observation. For crying out loud, the US has bases all over the world, in dozens of countries...yet when 10 Russian units touch US soil you freak out? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

The Americans would whine and complain if the Russians took over their country , their banks , industry , media and Government et al . But after 6 months or so, after their freedom from the present plutocracy of the elites of the bankers and industrialists , they would be drinking smirnoff and doing their cossack dancing in honour of their liberators.
