While top U.S. Army General recently said that Russia can destroy the U.S., it does not seem like U.S. military officials reviewed all the possible consequences of the proposal to deploy more troops across Europe to deter the threat of aggression by Russia.

Furthermore, American defense officials are poised to counter the Russian threat with beefed up military drills aimed at countering possible direct military confrontations with Russian troops in Europe and the Middle East, where Moscow conducts its large-scale military operations.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that proposals for the deployment of American soldiers in Europe were made over the weekend during the Reagan National Defense Forum at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.

The U.S. armed forces currently has two infantry brigades stationed in Eastern Europe, with the total number of about 7,000 troops. One more brigade rotates in and out of Europe on a regular basis. Army Chief of Staff Gen.

Such plans would take “a couple of months” to realize, according to Gen Philip Breedlove, the supreme allied commander of NATO. Funding to increase the number of U.S. troops based in countries neighboring Russia will be included in a budget request sent to Congress in 2016, according to the Journal.

Carter said Russia is conducting “challenging activities” at sea, in the air, in space as well as in cyberspace, and added that Moscow was “violating sovereignty in Ukraine and Georgia and actively trying to intimidate the Baltic states.”

Political and military analysts noted that Carter’s remarks were perhaps his strongest remarks about U.S. former Cold War enemy ever since becoming Pentagon chief this past February. However, Carter said that the White House does not seek a “cold, let alone a hot, war” with Russia, nor does the U.S. seek to make Russia an enemy.

“But make no mistake; the United States will defend our interests, our allies, the principled international order, and the positive future it affords us all,” he said…..More Here
