U.S. Is Poised to Put Heavy Weaponry in Eastern Europe
Keywords:
The U.S. Defense Department is about to move forward with a plan to store battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and heavy weapons, for about 5000 American troops in Baltic countries and Eastern Europe. The move is in response to calls from Baltic republics to prepare a rapid reaction capability in response to any Russian action.

The NATO Rapid Response Force with a spearhead of 5000 troops for deployment in 48 hours is intended for rapid deployment in both Eastern Europe or the Middle East. Command centers will be established in the Baltic States and Poland. This is a response to Russia's rapid deployment of troops along its borders with Eastern Europe and the anxiety this has created in the Baltic states and Poland.

Lt. Gen. Frederick "Ben" Hodges, Commander of the U.S. Army in Europe on the threats and challenges facing the U.S. and lack of spare resources for crises
02/09/2015
Lt. Gen. "Ben" Hodges says today 9 out of 10 divisional headquarters are committed, a situation unprecedented even at the height of the U.S. action in Afghanistan and Iraq. New crises are emerging that no one could predict such as Islamic State and Ukraine in 2014. Spare resources to meet new threats are urgently needed but the army is limited by the sequestration budget cuts, sending the wrong type of message to bad actors in the Middle East and Europe, says Hodges. Senators generally think of their state first, Texans about Ft. Hood, Carolinans about Fort Campbell, but no one represents Fort Wiesbaden, Germany. Hodges is based at the U.S. army base in Wiesbaden, Germany.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
