As one guy said 'having your forces in close proximity to our forces is inherently dangerous!'

This is worrying

Does it affect less people if it's moved to another part of the site? What a weird post.

If you mean can less people comment? Then yes

Lots of us haven't met the criteria to post in that area

The post is just weird in and of itself. None of that is news, none of it.

Old news. It would be worrying if NATO didn't do it.

I don't think it's bang on actually (either the quote or character).

I believe the character was Dr Jeffrey Pelt (played by Richard Jordan) who was the National Security Advisor to POTUS & he was talking to Ambassador Andrei Lysenko (played by Joss Ackland) wink

Yes but this is The Lounge, I'm merely asking for it not to be moved to an area I am unable to post.

Do you have an opinion on the subject?

The NATO build up is obviously progressing even if the article is a whole month old.

War moves fast
