  in the midst of deepening tension between us allies nato and russia nato is planning the largest military buildup along the russian border since the cold war 
  nato called on allied governments this week to contribute whatever troops and equipment they can to the effort according to reuters  thousands of troops are expected to arrive in the coming days and weeks 
  it was reported that italy france denmark and other european states are expected to join the nato military divisions that will be led by the united states along russias border 
  on wednesday britain announced it is sending hundreds of soldiers and hardware to russias borders as part of a huge military deployment 
  a total of  troops drones and tanks are moving to estonia as part of the biggest military buildup of nato troops on russias borders since the cold war 
  in addition to the forces allocated for his specific operation nato has an army of over  ready to be called up to fight at any time 
  the us military claims that this threatening move is meant to act as a deterrent to the russian military but this is obvious a move that will escalate tensions and push towards a possible third world war 
  this is a credible deterrence not to provoke a conflict but to prevent conflict nato secretarygeneral jens stoltenberg said on tuesday  ironically ignoring the fact that it is a de facto provocation 
  just imagine what would happen if russian troops amassed along the mexican border and told the us that this move was to prevent conflict 
  the socalled iskanderm cruise missiles can hit targets across poland and the baltics although nato officials declined to say if russia had moved nuclear warheads to kaliningrad 
  the united states envoy to nato douglas lute told reporters that nato and the us military may consider russia a threat if they had nuclear weapons within range of natos deployment this statement is insane considering the fact that the us military is the one that is many miles from home on the border of someone elses lands 
  this deployment if it becomes permanent if the presence of nuclear weapons were confirmed would be a change in russias security posture lute said 
  if anyone is a threat it is nato and the us government 
  these military tensions are the result of an ongoing proxy war in syria in which western powers are attempting to institute a regime change in the country by funding violent rebel groups meanwhile russia has interests in keeping their allies in the syrian government in control putting the two superpowers at odds 
  until now russia and the us have been fighting through third parties just as they had during the previous cold war and the same type of situation is developing today
