03.06.2018 NATO Tagung im Juli wirft dunkle Schatten voraus

NATO's march against Russia continues

Also our yesterday's participation in the Frieden Geht! has not yet moved politics to rethink. The general staffs continue to work on the expansion of the "Eastern Front".

For the Nato conference in July there is amongst other things this agenda:

the existing "Nato spearhead", the Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF), the NATO Response Force (NRF) and the enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) should be strengthened in case of conflict by further troops,
an additional 30,000 troops or 30 battalions, 30 squadrons of aircraft (360 aircraft) and 30 ships to be operational in 30 days,
the "membership aspirations" of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Macedonia and Ukraine should be examined favorably,
still unclear are possible accessions by Sweden and Finland, Ireland, Serbia and Moldova

While the accession of Ukraine is desired but probably not risked, the proponents of a reception of Georgia are increasing. There, after the war with the breakaway, Russia-recognized and militarily secured provinces of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, there is a direct front to Russia. If Georgia were a member of NATO, NATO members could easily involve other members in an open war with Russia.

In order to 'get a formal uptake', it would be possible to temporarily transpose Article 6 of the NATO Treaty, which defines the territories defined by Article 5, i. the duty of assistance, are protected, so redefine that South Ossetia and Abkhazia "temporarily" do not fall under it. Then all of Georgia would join NATO, but only in about 80 percent of the country would the security guarantees of the Alliance apply. A similar "adaptation" has already been applied in 1951 to Turkey and Greece, despite territorial disputes over some of the Aegean islands.

In addition to the NATO summit, there is also an upgrade "by the way"

The agency Reuters reported discussions in the Pentagon to station the missile defense system Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) in Germany. Such a system has already been installed in the Romanian Deveselu. It complements an Aegis missile defense system, which has also been operational there since 2016, with interceptor missiles of the type SM-3 IB and another in Redzikowo, Poland, where work will continue for another two years.

This missile defense system was planned after the departure of the Bush administration from the ABM agreement in 2002 and led decisively to the escalation between Russia and NATO. According to NATO official opinion, all missile defense systems are directed against North Korea and Iran, although e.g. the longest Iranian missiles could reach Bulgaria at the most.

Russia, as in the decision under Barack Obama to relocate a THAAD system to South Korea, will also react "annoyed" at an installation in Germany. This will further worsen the relationship between Germany and Russia, because US military officials are certain that the black and red government will not oppose this move. "The first assessment is that Germany is unlikely to have a problem with a THAAD transfer," he said. Chief of European Command, General Curtis Scaparrotti.

The military always seem to forget that the locations of such weapon collections automatically become the target coordinates of missiles elsewhere.

Raketenabwehr - ist entweder defensiv, oder bringt offensive "Nebenaufrüstung" mit sich. Oder ist es dual usable? Irgendwo fehlen mir ein paar zusätzliche Informationen. Wieso wird bei Raketenabwehr von Eskalation geschrieben? Den ganzen anderen Natoscheiss versteh ich ja, leider.

Missile Defense - is either defensive or favored offensive "secondary armor". Or is it dual usable? I'm missing some additional information somewhere. Why is missile defense written by escalation? The whole other Natoscheiss I understand yes, unfortunately.
