If the Americans are so opposed to Russian troops in Latin America, then why are they surprised at the Russian reaction to NATO? Imagine Iran training troops near the Mexican-Texan border, and many of them were extremist Wahabi paramilitaries. It seems insane to not view this as a clear provocation right?
But this is exactly what the US wants, a pretext to eliminate Russia's Nord Stream 2 plans and promote American LNG in Europe instead (something which even Ukraine is iffy about because of expensive it is to import American oil).
If this situation does develop into a full on War, I put the blame on an America which deemed all the pain and suffering that would ensue as a preferable alternative to reduced military and economic primacy in Europe.
The way the media frames this is so insidious.
