This is Russia’s Day to be Happy
Three Coins in a Fountain,
Each One Seeking Happiness!
Three Coins in a Fountain,
Which One will the Fountain Bless?
Three Coins in a Fountain,
Somewhere in the Heart of NATO!
Don’t Sweat IT, MOM Russia Already KNEW IT,
But she will shed crocodile tears on the Outside,
While Rejoicing on the Inside Behind Sharp Teeth,
NOTHING Is Safe In A World Of Electronic Intercept,
And, Oh Yes, Remember Turkey is a member of NATO!

Unless one has lived in the world of intelligence collection by electronic intercept, it is very difficult to understand the unbelievable capabilities of it, and since I retired in 1971, those capabilities have multiplied to the tenth power.
Briefly stating its full capacity – THE MAJOR POWERS PROBABLY KNOW 95 PERCENT OF WHAT EACH OF THE OTHERS KNOW! The Major Sin today is to get caught by some nut that lets “the man in the street” in on the electronic intercept information.
This is what happened in WiklLeaks – An Antiwar man, with an excessive zeal to let the world see what he considered the faults of American policy, decided to expose it. I do not like war, but since the fall of Adam man’s basic character is warlike in the flesh, and will be until Jesus comes to govern this earth. As we wait for him, let me assure you that, compared to the degree of American policy sins, the other major power’s secret policies and plans would be black as pitch, causing ours to appear as white as the driven snow.
“Three Coins in a Fountain” is the first move I took my future wife to see when we started dating. I found the happiness I was seeking when we were later married, and Emogine found out she got the north end of a south bound jackass. Don’t worry – she will get a great reward for her many longsuffering years.

NATO has secret plan to defend Baltics – WikiLeaks
Tuesday, December 7, 2010
LONDON (Reuters) – NATO has drawn up secret plans to defend the Baltic states against any Russian threat, Britain’s Guardian newspaper reported on Tuesday, citing U.S. diplomatic cables obtained by WikiLeaks.
The decision to draft contingency plans for the former Soviet states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania was taken secretly earlier this year at the urging
of the United States and Germany, ending years of division within the alliance over how to view Russia, the Guardian said.
In parallel talks with Warsaw, it said, Washington offered to beef up Polish security against Russia by deploying special naval forces to the Baltic ports of Gdansk and Gdynia, putting F-16 fighter aircraft in Poland and rotating C-13s0 Hercules transport planes into Poland
from U.S. bases in Germany.
The details were from 250,000 diplomatic cables obtained by the website WikiLeaks that are being made public.
Russia said it was “bewildered” by the allegations, a source in its foreign ministry told Interfax news agency.
NATO leaders were understood to have quietly endorsed the new strategy to defend vulnerable parts of eastern Europe at a summit in Lisbon last month, the Guardian said.
“Such pulications cause a lot of questions and bewilderment with us… Russia has repeatedly raised the question about the need to ensure there is no military planning aimed against one another,” the Russian foreign ministry source said.
In Lisbon, NATO and Russia agreed to cooperate on missile defence and other security issues, and hailed a new start in relations that have been strained since Russia’s war with Georgia in 2008. U.S. President Barack Obama has a policy of “resetting” relations with Moscow.
The WikiLeaks cables point to the underlying tension in the relationship between the former Cold War adversaries.
The plan entailed grouping the Baltic states with Poland in a new regional defence scheme, codenamed Eagle Guardian, said the paper.
Poland, the Baltic states and others were rattled by Russia’s brief war against Georgia and have been irked by large-scale Russian army exercises in Belarus and by Moscow’s new military doctrine that sees NATO expansion as a threat.
The Guardian said nine NATO divisions — U.S., British, German and Polish — had been identified for combat operations in the event of aggression against Poland or the Baltic states. Polish and German ports had been listed to receive naval assault forces and British and U.S. warships, the paper said.
The first NATO exercises under the plan were to take place in the Baltic next year, it quoted sources as saying.
Germany and other Western European countries had previously opposed drawing up plans to defend the Baltic states, anxious to avoid upsetting Russia.
Earlier this year, the United States started rotating U.S. army Patriot missiles into Poland.
But the secret cables exposed the Patriots’ value as purely symbolic.
The Patriot battery was for training purposes, and was neither operational nor armed with missiles, said the Guardian.
