Lillian Wydja 4 mins . OH YEAH, these big, tough boys are going to fix that Putin. Gee, they will practically cut his feet out from under him. What a farce NATO is. Toothless and no dentures. Russia has claimed a pull back of 500 troops, which could be viewed as a start, BUT NATO can’t see it. SO WHO is looking for a WAR? NATOs foreign ministers ordered an end to civilian and military co-operation with Russia on Tuesday and told their generals and admirals to quickly figure out ways to better protect alliance members that feel threatened by Vladimir Putins Kremlin. The 28-member alliance, the keystone of U.S. and European security since the end of World War II, was reacting to its most serious crisis in years: Russias unilateral annexation of Ukraines Crimean Peninsula, which the U.S. and its allies have condemned as an illegal land grab. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and the other ministers, meeting at NATO headquarters in Brussels behind closed doors, unanimously agreed Tuesday on a number of measures. A civilian NATO official who attended the meeting and briefed reporters afterward on condition of anonymity said the steps included: • The suspension of all practical civilian and military co-operation between NATO and Russia. NATO officials said ambassadorial-level contacts will remain open to assure a reliable channel of communication. • The possible deployment and reinforcement of military assets in eastern NATO members, such as Poland and the Baltic states, that feel menaced by Moscows latest actions. • A possible increase of readiness levels for the NATO rapid response force. • A possible review of NATOs crisis response plans, as well as its military training and exercise schedules.
