US troops arrive in Poland for exercises across Eastern Europe amid Ukraine crisis

Army paratroopers are arriving in Poland on Wednesday as part of a wave of U.S. troops heading to shore up America's Eastern European allies in the face of Russian meddling in Ukraine. Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said an initial contingent of about 600 troops will head to four countries across Eastern Europe for military exercises over the next month. First, about 150 soldiers from the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team based in Vicenza, Italy, are arriving in Poland.

Additional Army companies will head to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and are expected to arrive by Monday for similar land-based exercises in those countries. The show of strength comes as the United States, European allies and Ukraine try to ease tensions with Russia and pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine. NATO To Boost Air, Warship Presence Around Russia; Netherlands May Deploy F-16s To Ukraine. If there is was one way to assure a certain escalation in Ukraine hostilities beyond what has already happened, it is for NATO to do precisely what Russia warned it should not do: build up its presence in the surrounding countries.

NATO To Boost Air, Warship Presence Around Russia; Netherlands May Deploy F-16s To Ukraine

Which is why we find it somewhat puzzling that NATO announced it would do just this when as the Guardian reported, the military alliance said it would step up its presence around Russian borders to "reassure eastern European member states. " The reinforcements on Nato's eastern flank will take the form of more air patrols over the Baltic states, greater numbers of warships in both the Baltic and eastern Mediterranean, and more troops deployed in eastern Europe. The Nato buildup will also involve the redeployment of warships, some of them now participating in counter-piracy operations off Somalia, to the Baltic and the Mediterranean. It’s Official – Russia Completely Bans GMOs.

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev recently announced that Russia will no longer import GMO products, stating that the nation has enough space, and enough resources to produce organic food.

It’s Official – Russia Completely Bans GMOs

If the Americans like to eat GMO products, let them eat it then. We don’t need to do that; we have enough space and opportunities to produce organic food.” – Medvedev Russia has been considering joining the long list (and continually growing) of anti-GMO countries for quite some time now. It does so after a group of Russian scientists urged the government to consider at least a 10-year moratorium on GMOs to thoroughly study their influence on human health.

Before Obama’s visit to Saudi Arabia, the U.S. media was discussing options of “punishment” for Russia with sanctions for its “behavior in Crimea.”

Obama wants Saudi Arabia to destroy Russian economy

The first option was proposed by an American financier George Soros. According to him, every day the U.S. could offer for sale 500-750 million barrels from its strategic resources (SPR) estimated at 700 million barrels, which should lead to the decrease in world oil prices by about $10-12 dollars per barrel. Immediately after the formal reunification of Russia and Crimea, the Obama administration gave orders to sell 5 million barrels of oil from the SPR. However, after two weeks of discussions, U.S. analysts agreed that the effect of such actions will be short-lived, and squandering suitable strategic reserves of the country was not a good idea because you never know what might happen.

UK: Can’t Live With Them, Can’t Live Without Them: MP: Banning Muslim Brotherhood in UK could lead to terrorism. Banning the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in the UK could work in favour of terrorist organisations, a Conservative Party Minister of Parliament warned.

UK: Can’t Live With Them, Can’t Live Without Them: MP: Banning Muslim Brotherhood in UK could lead to terrorism

The Telegraph newspaper quoted Crispin Blunt, the former justice minister, saying that blacklisting the MB without adequate evidence could lead to unneeded repercussions. “The worst possible thing would be a fit-up job that listed the Muslim Brotherhood on the terrorist list with little or no evidence,” he said, “it would be a betrayal of our values and make the problem worse.” He said that Saudi Arabia and certain Gulf states look at the MB as a direct political threat to their regimes.

The MP said that British officials had to investigate whether the MB leadership had planned violent activities from within the UK or not. But he insisted that “a misapplied policy could drive its followers into the arms of Al-Qaeda.” Since the coup last July, the military regime in Egypt has pursued a repressive policy against the Muslim Brotherhood. Russia wants answers on NATO troop movement in Eastern Europe. “We have addressed questions to the North Atlantic military alliance.

Russia wants answers on NATO troop movement in Eastern Europe

We are not only expecting answers, but answers that will be based fully on respect for the rules we agreed on,” Lavrov told reports at a joint briefing with Kazakhstan’s FM Yerlan Idrisov. However, NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said he had not received any questions from Moscow. In response he called Russian accusations about NATO’s actions “propaganda and disinformation.” He denied that NATO was violating the 1997 treaty on NATO-Russian cooperation by boosting its forces in Eastern Europe. The accusations by Russia, he said, are based “on a wrong interpretation” of a fundamental act of the 1997 treaty on NATO-Russian cooperation, in which NATO vowed to provide collective defense by using reinforcements rather than by additional permanent stationing of substantial combat forces at regular bases.

March 30, 2014 David Risselada America, throughout the past fifteen months I have written a great deal on the United Nations Small Arms Treaty.

While many have allowed the wool to be pulled over their eyes by believing that civilian disarmament can’t happen here, and that the senate will never ratify this treaty, the truth is that it is already being incrementally implemented. All of the states that are passing draconian gun control laws are testing ground states, and if you haven’t noticed, these state governments really don’t give a hoot about what their constituents have to say about it. While it is true that many states are also passing pro-gun laws that, constitutionally speaking, would protect their citizens’ gun rights from federal over reach, it doesn’t change the fact that the arms treaty represents a global effort to disarm America so they can push forward with their plans to implement global communism.

Muslim Brotherhood Slaughter Christian Woman – MB Obama Silent. Mary: Martyred for the Cross March 30, 2014 By Raymond Ibrahim On Friday, March 28, in Ain Shams, a suburb of Cairo, rioting Muslim Brotherhood supporters attacked the Virgin Mary and Archangel Michael Coptic Orthodox Church, including by opening fire on it and setting parked cars aflame. Four people died. One of the slain, a young Coptic woman, was savagely mauled and molested before being murdered—simply because her cross identified her as a Christian to the Brotherhood rioters.

According to an eyewitness who discussed the entire event on the Egyptian program, 90 Minutes, Mary Sameh George was parking by the church to deliver medicine to a sickly, elderly woman: Once they saw that she was a Christian [because of the cross hanging on her rear view mirror], they jumped on top of the car, to the point that the vehicle was no longer visible. Obama Claims He’d Be Treated Better In Europe, Whines About “Names I’m Called” In America. Russia considering various options to reduce dependence on Visa and MasterCard. Russia is not going to abandon the services of Visa and MasterCard, but is considering various options to reduce the risks, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said in an interview to “Russia 24″. According to him, there is considered the creation of the national payment system, as well as the use of alternative payment systems. Siluanov reminded that there had already been spent time and money to create a universal payment card.

“It is quite difficult, because the system involves the usage of passport data, and the ability to pay for the social services. That is quite an informative system, not only the one used for payments,” – he said. “The database is created, you can use it to minimize the risks for individual subscribers of Visa and MasterCard”, – the Minister said.
