There's a lot of pearl-clutching going on via social media today about "Russia massing 360,000 troops in Belarus near the NATO Border." Those troops have been there for well over a year.
Europe is trying to frighten it's civilian population for "war with Russia." So they are treating this long-existing deployment as if it is something new. It's not.
Over the past month, the top officer of the French Army told French citizens they need to "prepare to lose their sons and daughters" in a fight with Russia." That started this rhetoric.
Five days ago, Mark Rutte, the NATO boss, told the Munich Security Conference "We Must Be Prepared for the scale of war our Grandparents and Great Grandparents Endured"
This week, the top Officer of the British Army told British citizens "sons and daughters, colleagues, veterans, will all have a part to play" if war erupts with Russia.
This is the "PR" build that Europe is using to stoke fear into their population. Now, they're trying to stoke fear in both Europe and the US with this non-news about "Russia massing 360,000 troops along NATO Border."
