All the areas where the Alliance is weak.

Hybrid Tactics: Neither New nor only Russian

CONCLUSION:

The Alliance can take action, primarily, in the military and intelligence fields – through deterrence and, if necessary, direct intervention. But the very nature of the threat requires a wider array of tools: well-trained police forces, functioning border management systems, and effective anti-corruption agencies, as well as transparency in the energy sector and in party political funding. It is here that the Union can make a real difference in contributing to a combined and integrated response.

President Obama claimed that America’s combat mission Afghan War was over in his SoU address, but 9,800 troops will remain in Afghanistan for the foreseeable future involved in training and counterterrorism missions. This mission of this left over force has officially been changed to “Operation Freedom’s Sentinel.” To date, the U.S. has spent over $780 billion on the Afghan war, and Obama’s Fiscal Year 2016 budget plans to continue this hemorrhage by calling for as much as $$42.5 billion to be spent on this mission during FY 2016, which begins on October 1 of this year.

Mongoose: The War Against Putin – What the Government-Media Complex Isn’t Telling You About Russia UPDATE to Add Brzezinski & Grand Chessboard Focus on Ukraine

IO Deeds of War, Worth A Look

Re the elective war over Ukraine, there is an incredible book out: The War Against Putin: What the Government-Media Complex Isn't Telling You About Russia, which I nominate as the book of the century (yes!) in so far as it has the power to wake up the masses and thus prevent any attempt by the Internationalist Cabal to facilitate world war III.

A graduate of the National War College and a Phd from the University of Southern California.

ROBERT STEELE: I have had the honor of meeting Dr. Calhoun, and consider him one of the most eclectic brilliant people it has ever been my pleasure and privilege to know. He is vastly more diverse in his interests, and also very critical — I tend not to publish reviews of items I consider less than 4 or 5 stars.

Please spend time at his Amazon directory page.
