Mexico would have no need for such provocation. Remittances from U.S are their biggest source of income, there's foreign investment from united states and U.S. is their biggest trading partners via nafta. If Russia was to propose these "exercises", mexicans would tell them to take a hike.

Russia and China conduct ships/troop exercise in the Med!

Different era - frida and diego were communist sympathizers as was fashionable at the time amongst the middle/upper middle class artists and "intelligencia." Soon thereafter, PRI took power and lets just say they saw no "need" for communism - bad for their business and the machine survived just fine without it.

Dragoon Ride had the opposite effect; it woke up Eastern Europe to realize they might be a pawn used against Russia, and that Russian Energy is very important, and the US doesn't have a recent history of avoiding conflict.

All over Eastern Europe, people are more pissed at the EU than Putin.

Austria just refused to extradite a Russian-friendly Ukrainian Oligarch, citing the US request was Political.

Even eternally Russian Hating Poland, the Polish President was supposed to win re-election in the first round handily with a 60% majority. Instead, he got less than his main opposition party, and now there's a runoff coming.

Russia and China conduct ships/troop exercise in the Med!

What Balls! We never conduct exercises in the Med or the South China Sea!

What reason does any US warship ever have to be in the Black Sea?

Russia stopped aggressive patrols 1994-2007. The US never stopped. But now that Russia is resuming, it's Russia that's the aggressor - not the country that never stopped.

Russia is capable of conducting a real war on American warmongers' asses.

"Russia: According to the March 2015 New START numbers, Russia has 1,582 strategic warheads deployed on 515 ICBMs, SLBMs, and strategic bombers [1]. The Federation of American Scientists estimates Russia has several thousand nondeployed strategic warheads and approximately 2,000 tactical nuclear warheads. An additional 3,700 are awaiting dismantlement."

Russia will invite one to dinner & serve a hot plate of MAD,Mutual Assured Destruction.

In Poland, voters will elect a new president on May 10***, and then a new parliament and prime minister by October 30. On present polls, the pro-American war factions are unlikely to win. That will mean the elimination, at least in Poland, of Radosław Sikorski (lead image, left), last year’s Anglo-Polish foreign minister, this year’s speaker of the Polish parliament (Sejm); and of his Anglo-American wife, Anne Applebaum (right).

The Siklebaums aren’t the only casualties. Victoria Nuland, leader of the war party at the State Department in Washington, tweeted from Warsaw last week: “I think countries like the United States and Poland, need to do everything we can to support the Ukrainians.” Polish officials told Nuland, after downgrading her meetings to the lowest possible protocol level, that enough is enough.

Sikorski is currently under investigation by the Polish authorities for fiddling state budget funds for personal expenses. Next month, like other Polish public officials, he must disclose how much of his life style is subsidized by the earnings of his wife, who is paid in turn by a State Department-financed propaganda outlet in London. For more on the Siklebaum subsidies, read this.

Last year the couple tried but failed to exit from Warsaw when Sikorski was rejected for a NATO post in Brussels, and then for a European Union post.

This year Applebaum has launched her own eastern front offensive, berating the Czechs, Slovaks, Hungarians, Serbs, Greeks, and finally the Poles for fiddling their own expenses, and failing to do more in cash and arms to support the Kiev government’s war in eastern Ukraine. They were all pawns, she claims, in the Kremlin’s “grand strategy…to delegitimise Nato, undermine the EU, split the western alliance and, above all, reverse the [post-communist] transitions of the 1990s.” “No one is fond of Russia in Poland, but that isn’t the point: Russia doesn’t need Poland, Hungary or Slovakia republic to be ruled by pro-Russian governments. They just need anti-German governments in central Europe, or anti-western governments, or simply incompetent governments that can persuade the rest of Nato to throw up their hands and say ‘we won’t fight for these people’.”

On April 13, the State Department announced that Nuland was arriving in Warsaw to “meet with senior government officials to discuss a broad range of bilateral and regional issues.” In fact, she was relegated to mid-level officials. According to the Polish Defence Ministry communique, Robert Kupiecki (below left), a vice minister, was decidedly non-committal in what was reported as a discussion of “the state of regional security in the light of current events in the eastern and southern flank of NATO… including measures to further adaptation of NATO to the changes in the security environment [and] the American presence in the region.

...

At the Foreign Ministry, Nuland was met by Undersecretary Leszek Soczewica (right), a military officer who ranks seventh in his ministry’s pecking order, and is responsible for the US, not Europe. His communique disclosed that he and Nuland had “focused on the prospects of deepening cooperation in the field of innovative technologies and in the energy sector.”

Nuland was followed into Warsaw by Rose Gottemoeller, an under secretary of state, one rank higher than Nuland. She calls herself an expert on Russian military affairs; nine years ago Gottemoeller, who describes her origin as a “big German Catholic family”, headed the Moscow office of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. In Warsaw her greeter was also General Soczewica; neither he (left) nor she (right) issued a communique.

Poor Carnegie, his institute has been totally hijacked by those who want the opposite of what he wanted.

Special Bonus: Polish Death Camps

They were all relegated by the Polish government’s fury following last week’s speech at Washington’s Holocaust Museum by James Comey, the director of the Federal Bureau of investigation (FBI). Comey gave his remarks on April 15, then repeated them in the Washington Post the following day. A lawyer, state prosecutor, and practicing Catholic, Comey said: “Good people helped murder millions. And that’s the most frightening lesson of all—that our very humanity made us capable—even susceptible—of surrendering our individual moral authority to the group, where it can be hijacked by evil. Of being cowed by those in power of convincing ourselves of nearly anything. In their minds, the murderers and accomplices of Germany, and Poland, and Hungary, and so many, many other places didn’t do something evil. They convinced themselves it was the right thing to do, the thing they had to do. That’s what people do. And that should truly frighten us.”

Poor Poles, still getting blamed for the Holocaust. The term "Polish Death Camps" was invented by ex-Nazi Intel officers in the payroll of the CIA, to try to smear some of the Auschwitz notoriety on then Communist Poland.

*** Vote already happened, and is now in a run off. Incumbent, of whom Sikorski is affiliated with, placed 2nd. see my earlier post

John McCain is the modern day Franz Ferdinand.
Russkies can't help but to try to knock him out so close to their border...
if they do, the US will be compelled to act, and arm Ukraine to the hilt with both offensive and defensive tactical nukes.

it'll be the cuban missile crisis...eastern europe style!

We've been feeding them growth hormones for ten years. Now they are going all Roidal on us.
