Inside the Pentagon: Preparing for War with Russia? | Global Research

 I’ve been writing for many years about US-NATO efforts to militarily surround Russia. 

The
oil-i-garchy wants to get a hold of the natural gas (the world’s
largest supply) that sits on Russian territory.  It also wants full
control of the Arctic region now that climate change will make it
possible to drill for oil there.  Russia has a huge northern coastal
border with the Arctic and thus stands in the way of western oil
control.

Already the war drums are sounding after Russia moved more
troops into Crimea to protect its Navy base and the large pro-Russian
population in the region. [map: pro-Russian vs. pro-European regions]

Writing yesterday in Foreign Policy
Admiral James Stavridis (Ret) called for NATO to immediately increase”
all intelligence-gathering functions through satellite, Predator
unmanned vehicles, and especially cyber” and to sail “NATO maritime
forces into the Black Sea and setting up contingency plans for their
use.”  This is full-blown war talk – with Russia. Admiral Stavridis was
Supreme Allied Commander at NATO from 2009 to 2013. He is currently dean
of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.

If Stavridis is saying these things you can just imagine what plans are underway inside the Pentagon and at NATO HQ in Europe.
