Meyssan has a point when he states that the events in Georgia 2008, and Ukraine 2014, have highlighted the problem that Russia is for the American and British power structure. That's why they still have to organize symbolic meetings in Estonia (like Obama did last week), or deploy moderate-sized brigades in Poland. Still, does't change the fact that the core of the naval and air power of NATO has been relocated to the Indian and Pacific Ocean. Mostly in two blocs, from the Horn of Africa (Somalia) till the Persian Gulf. And from Vietnam till Hawai, including presence in Taiwan and Okinawa.
