This is to instill oppression to allow Russia it's return of the USSR. Along with Russia's return to Eastern Europe will be a returned threat to the borders of Europe.
Trump wants to dissolve NATO. That will mean the former Soviet states will have no military to stand up to Russia.

Vladimir Putin (click here) has called for a new era of cooperation with the United States under Donald Trump’s presidency, in an annual state of the nation speech that struck a conciliatory but uncompromising tone on foreign policy.
In an address to government ministers, MPs, and top Kremlin officials, Mr Putin said Russia and the United States are “jointly responsible for international stability and security” and that a good relationship was in the interests of the “whole world.”
"We are ready for cooperation with the new American administration,"Mr Putin said in the Kremlin on Thursday....
Putin is already setting the stage for an invasion into Ukraine. Russia is stating Crimea is part of Russia and the Ukraine missiles will be flying over Crimea.
Ukraine knows something about missiles. Following the Russia aggression after the government change in Kiev, the Ukraine people were left with no national military. That won't happen again in Ukraine.
Ukraine needs to have a coalition of former Soviet states that will provide a clear indication of resistance even if NATO is dissolved. It will take some time before the new president can carry out such an outrageous idea, however, the USA Congress has promised to rubber stamp every priority of Mr. Trump.
Europe has to take Mr. Trump at his word. I strongly suggest with such outrageous political statements made during the campaign NATO REINSTATE the treaty. Mr. Trump should sign the re-celebrated treaty.
As of 2019, NATO will be 70 years strong. I suggest a celebration of the alliance and a resigning of the treaty.
It has to be a "In your face, Russia," celebration in order to have the alliance taken seriously. No more veiled threats by Russia.

Kiev, Ukraine, Dec. 1 (UPI) -- Ukraine (click here) began surface-to-air missile tests Thursday over the Black Sea, after Russia threatened to shoot the projectiles down.
The Ukrainian military declared the tests of the S-300 medium-range missiles a success.
"Sixteen Ukrainian missiles were launched. All of them have reached their targets," said Svyatoslav Tsegolko, spokesman for President Petro Poroshenko.
Earlier this week, Ukraine defined the area of the tests, which the Russian Ministry of Defense said "violates the territorial sea borders of the Russian Federation." Although the missiles came within 18 miles of Crimean airspace, Ukraine moved the perimeter of the test area, apparently to calm Russian concerns, Russia's air transport agency reported.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said Thursday the tests set a "dangerous precedent," news outlet RT reported Thursday....
