“Recently, Washington has been holding military exercises in eastern Europe, sending thousands of US soldiers, every equipments, every ammunitions, every weapons to frontline states, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, It’s planning new exercises in Poland, in Romania, in these countries either bordering Russia or very close to Russia’s border,” Lendman told Press TV on Wednesday.

“It has to be infuriating Russia because it is deliberately provocative,” he added.

The columnist noted that the United States is getting closer to Russia’s border.

“What Washington is doing now pushing further and further east, stationing thousands of its forces, combat ready troops in eastern Europe,” he said.

“This is a prescription for east-west confrontation. They could literally explode into a nuclear war,” Lendman warned.

American government officials said the Pentagon is planning to send more military equipment to Ukraine, including drones and heavy armored Humvees.

Unnamed White House officials told The Associated Press that Vice President Joe Biden informed Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko about the military assistance in a phone call on Wednesday.

“The situation in Ukraine today is what I call a tinderbox. Washington has full responsibility for what’s going on. It ousted a democratic government,” Lendman said.

“The country is economically bankrupt. It’s teetering on collapse and it’s spending millions of dollars every single day on militarism, well it’s getting this money from the IMF [International Monetary Fund], from Washington, from other nations contributing it,” he added.
