In a statement, the US Defence Department said: “The movement of equipment and troops into and around Europe marks the beginning of a continuous rotation of armoured brigade combat teams from the United States as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve. “Atlantic Resolve is a demonstration of continued US commitment to collective security through a series of actions designed to reassure NATO allies and partners of America’s dedication…in the region in light of the [alleged] Russian intervention in Ukraine.” The move of more military equipment into Europe comes days after Trump refused to call Putin a “killer” and aligned the US and Russia on the same moral plain. But on the same day, during a phone conversation with Nato General Secretary, Jens Stoltenberg, President Trump agreed to meet with his fellow Nato leaders in May [2017].

Jan. 2017 inauguration, he began his unprovoked brutality
against Russia which continued for his entire 4 years in office.
