    Note the framing here: encircling Russia with increasing numbers of US combat troops is normal and good, while advocating that this not be done is insane and possibly treasonoushttps://www.thedailybeast.com/white-house-official-floated-withdrawing-us-forces-to-please-putin …

        I get where you're coming from, but the level of US force in the Baltics is clearly deterrent only to prevent Russia from stomping them and presenting a fait accompli. I'm not into russia hysteria, but calling a couple thousand light troops "encircling" is sort of hysteria also.

        Something tells me that most American politicians would not see the word "encircling" as "hysterical" if Russian troops were deployed to Canada and Mexico.

        do you ever consider that the countries that the US are 'encircling' want them there bc Russia has invaded 2 of its neighbors and they are scared it will happen to them? Or is Russia always the victim in your narrative?

        Your country has a commitment to NATO allies. Respect your commitments. The troops are there as a deterrent to prevent another Crimea.

        Crimea was a Russian counter-move after the CIA facilitated a coup in the Ukraine as a whole... move, counter move. Given that the Ukrainian government is illegitimate, it seems unreasonable to call the Crimean secession vote "illegal"

        People need to realise that when the USSR agreed to let German Reunification to proceed, Reagan and Bush 41 promised Gorbachev that NATO would not expand "one inch past Berlin". Well, the Americans lied, as they always do about these things. Clinton reneged immediately.pic.twitter.com/PSk2pyNe5c

        Trump announced discontent for NATO build up in eastern Europe during the campaign. Military industry business with NATO under the guise of a Russian threat has existed for some time Chris Hedges was one of the first to suggest weapon sales and boots was a russiagate motive.

        US shouldn't occupy any territory on any foreign land. US should leave and let the Syrian go back to their homes and their life.

        Indeed, also remember we promised we would not do that in return for nuclear concessions. This is a country that has the capabiulity to restart the nuclear arms race at any time. We need to respect this issue because we are literally cornering them.
