ZAPAD 2017

A view from the Washington Examiner.

I think it's fair to say that the Trump establishment isn't going to rush troops into Europe at the moment........

"The Russians are coming" is a phrase attributed to United States Secretary of Defense James Forrestal in 1949. In full, Forrestal said "The Russians are coming. The Russians are coming. They’re right around. I’ve seen Russian soldiers."
Forrestal allegedly uttered those words while suffering from mental illness, not long before purportedly committing suicide.
