Russia is heavily involved in putting together a military confederation of several of the former states of the old Soviet Republic.\u00a0 Here is another story that happened while I was in Italy:<\/p>\n

Russia wants CSTO to be as strong as NATO<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

RIA Novosti<\/strong> – May 29, 2009<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

MOSCOW\u00a0(RIA Novosti) – Russia is planning to build a strong military contingent in Central Asia within the framework of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) comparable to NATO forces in Europe, a Russian business daily said on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The CSTO, a post-Soviet regional security bloc comprising Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan<\/strong>, has already agreed to create a joint rapid-reaction force, but Russia is preparing a new, larger-scale project.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The work is being conducted in all areas, and a number of documents have been adopted,” the Kommersant newspaper quoted an unidentified source in the Foreign Ministry as saying.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It will be a purely military structure, built to ensure security in Central Asia in case of an act of aggression,” the source said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Russia already has joint military contingents with Belarus and Armenia in the CSTO framework.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new force will comprise large military units from five countries – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It will include armored and artillery units, and a naval flotilla in the Caspian Sea,” CSTO press secretary Vitaly Strugovets said earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n

The creation of a powerful military contingent in Central Asia reflects Moscow’s drive to make the CSTO a pro-Russian military bloc, rivaling NATO forces in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Russia’s security strategy until 2020, recently approved by President Dmitry Medvedev, envisions the CSTO as “a key mechanism to counter regional military challenges and threats.”<\/span><\/p>\n

CSTO leaders are scheduled to gather for a summit in Moscow on June 14 to sign an agreement on the creation of a joint rapid-reaction force as an interim step toward the creation of a larger military grouping.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rapid-reaction force will include an airborne division and an air assault brigade from Russia, and an air assault brigade from Kazakhstan. The remaining members will contribute a battalion-size force each, although Uzbekistan would “delegate” its detachments to take part in operations on an ad hoc basis. <\/span>http:\/\/en.rian.ru\/russia\/20090529\/155118377.html<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Russia is destined to be a major military power again in the future.<\/p>\n

I believe that Bible prophecy indicates that at some point in time, NATO will collapse as it shows that the Europeans will ultimately turn against the American and the British-descended peoples.<\/p>\n

However, the same Bible suggests that Russia will (almost 3 1\/2 years later) deal with the Europeans.<\/p>\n
