Military training is about to start in Eastern European countries like Poland, Lithuania and Estonia. USA already sent support to Poland in dozen of jet planes F-16 and 200 infantry units.The Russian incursion into Ukraine, including the seizure of Crimea and moves by Russian-backed separatists in the eastern part of the country, has fanned fears in the former eastern bloc, where memories of decades of Russian domination run deep.The Crimean Crisis was test for NATO and so far, Western Civilization failed this test. Russia annexed new territory and NATO couldn't do nothing about this. Poland has been among the most bullish of the countries in the region clamoring for a tough Western response to Russia. Earlier this month the Polish foreign minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, said that he wanted the alliance to deploy two combat brigades in Poland, with as many as 5,000 troops each. Estonia, meanwhile, has called for NATO to reinforce its commitment to the region’s security in the form of ground troops. Next days will show if NATO is going to have chance to "retake this test" and not allow Russia to break more international laws.
