Russian Point: Troops and Nato

russian point: Alongside Britain, Germany and the U.S., Canada will soon lead a NATO battlegroup that is supposed to defend Eastern Europe from Moscow, according to Rabble. About 450 Canadian troops are headed to Latvia while the three other NATO countries lead missions in Poland, Lithuania and Estonia. This training mission in the Ukraine is on top of 200 troops in Poland, a naval frigate in the Mediterranean and Black Sea and a half dozen CF-18 fighter jets on their way to locations near Russia's border. From the Russian point of view it must certainly look like NATO is massing troops at its border. In 2014 the right-wing nationalist Euro Maidan movement ousted Viktor Yanukovych who was oscillating between the European Union and Russia. Canada's military buildup in Eastern Europe is the direct outgrowth of a coup in Kiev. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
