Nato's Broken Promises Bring World Closer to Global War



5:26 duration

This video is from August 2014. James Corbett (corbettreport on Youtube) offers his view on NATO.
Especially intriquing is at about the 4 min. mark on how he sees that Poland could give rise to NATO
defending non-NATO member, Ukraine. I know I will have my interest piqued if I hear "Poland" mentioned in the future news reports.

The plan reportedly is to deploy this multi-national unit on the Russian border, to help assure there is no infiltration of weapons. That would mean soldiers from NATO countries based and operating on the Ukrainian/Russian border.

hear lead me to believe the build up, just the increase in the number of NATO troops, was going to be threatening to Russia.

Wouldn't you think with all the satellites tptb could surveil the borders? I view this build as a threat. Our future will probably be of several global type armies to "resolve" conflicts rather than those of national origins.

I know most don't have time or ability to watch international news...but, it's out there ....the reporting...even if one has to use Google Translate or follow the News Sources online in translation.
