US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis met with Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen and discussed NATO's "democracy spreading wars" and of course "Russian aggression" with Russian President Putin's fantasy plan to take over the tiny NATO Baltic nations, that no one wants or cares about.
Jim Mattis did note...
"In terms of our commitment to defense, year 2014 was an eye opener for all of us I think. And we now confront concerns from the East and threats from the South . And we're going to have to stand visible, but also indivisible as we deal with these issues. I'm on my way from here, sir, to Lithuania where I'll observe the NATO troops together under the German framework nation there, as we make very clear that these problems we have between us and Russia will be solved by diplomats and no other way."
Comment: Overheard this morning at a Deep State intelligence office somewhere in the recesses of Washington DC:
"Has Mattis gone crazy? Didn't he get the memo!? Russians are the source of all evil today!!! Why would he even talk about diplomacy! We may have to neutralize him soon... Agent B. -- what have we got on Mattis? Oh, wait a minute. I know what he's doing - he's playing reasonable so as to take the Russkies off their guard and to calm the damned peaceniks. Smart Mattis, smart. But let's have a look at the Mattis file just in case, Agent B."
