German Radio— Germany to Send Tanks to Russian Border

Mike Norman Economics 2016-11-05

The tone deafness on the NATO side is breathtaking. German tanks bearing the iron cross insignia of the Bundeswehr will be stationed on the Russian border for the first time since Hitler launched a panzer blitzkrieg against Russia in 1941 called Operation Barbarossa. Russians, who lost tens of millions in the ensuing battles, have not forgotten and probably not forgiven either, especially when they see tanks again gathering on their border.
The iron cross is just a step away from the swastika, which is now banned in Germany. The iron cross dates to Prussian times and is still in use as can be seen in the center of the above picture.
In addition, "patriots" in the countries bordering Russia are publicly honoring Nazi collaborators and conducting marches honoring SS veterans, torchlight parades and all.
The Russian public is taking this as a signal. The number one concern of the Russian people is now NATO making war on them. Rather then being fearful, however, they are resolute. Putin has declared that this time the battles will not be fought on Russian soil.
The West is blissfully ignoring this as it pokes sticks into the bear's lair.
