Why 50 Thousand Russian Troops are Near the U.S Border?
A website “YourNewsWire.com” published an article on 9th September 2016 with an alarming headline that “Thousands of Russian Troops Surround U.S Border”. A number of readers scared due to believing that 50 thousand Russian Troops had allegedly deployed near the border of Mexico and Canada. The article indicated that Russian troops were deployed in the North originally in a region near Alaska, but within the territory of Russia and some troops deployed in the South near Bolivia. It is basically in the center of Latin America and it is not too close to the Southern border of the United States. It is important that we haven’t yet found any authentic information regarding this news.
A report of 9th September 2016 from Cuba’s News agency “Prensa Latina” reported that Bolivia and Russia were in collaboration to strengthen the military of Bolivia. Their deal involve the sale of arm equipment, weapons and transfer of latest technology, but “Prensa Latina” didn’t mention about the deployment of Russian Troops in Bolivia. It was assumingly an expansion of Russian military due to the incident of 7th September 2016 about the Black Sea in which a Russian fighter jet (Sukhoi su-27) had a close encounter with a U.S Navy plane (P-8). Both sides made their statement to be following international law and blamed on each other for wrong action. Russian officials claimed that U.S Navy plane was moving without a transponder and the U.S officials claimed that Russian fighter jet made a dangerous formation. This incident increased tension between both countries.
