The remarks come after NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen announced the troop rotations for NATO’s eastern members in an interview published on August 26 by Britain’s “The Guardian” newspaper. Rasmussen said the troops rotations would be carried out at “very high frequency” so that “any potential aggressor” would know an attack on the NATO host country would target the entire NATO alliance.
Poland and the three Baltic states — all NATO members — have called for a stronger NATO presence after Russia’s intervention in Ukraine and annexation of Crimea.
But Russia’s Foreign Ministry say the NATO military drills would harm security in the region.
“More visible NATO military presence in the east will be detrimental to the Euro-Atlantic stability. Russia will react to NATO moves eastwards with a view to ensure its security,” the foreign ministry wrote on its twitter account. “NATO is willing to satisfy its eastern allies in their phobias. What about fighting real challenges to international security?” another “tweet” indicates. “One should not be misled by the term “rotation”. What matters is permanence of NATO presence in the East,” the ministry also said.
A major NATO summit in Wales next week will discuss the deployment of allied armed forces in military bases in east Europe, Rasmussen told “The Guardian” on Tuesday.
The Cardiff summit is likely to come up with a solution for calls to a permanent NATO presence, alliance sources said, which would avoid the term “permanent” for the new bases. But the impact will be to have constantly manned NATO facilities east of what used to be the iron curtain.
Rasmussen said that the bases could be established on a rotation basis.
“The point is that any potential aggressor should know that if they were to even think of an attack against a NATO ally they will meet not only soldiers from that specific country but they will meet NATO troops. This is what is important,” said Rasmussen.
When asked whether there would be permanent international deployments under a NATO flag in east Europe, Rasmussen said:
“The brief answer is yes. To prevent misunderstanding I use the phrase “for as long as necessary”. Our eastern allies will be satisfied when they see what is actually in the readiness action plan.”

No War in Europe - Russia is NOT our Enemy! 
So it means U.S military resources will be stationed by the Russian border. This is an unprecedented provocation in the views of Russia security that severely threatens european stability. The threat IS the U.S troops that come in and create tension and instability. EU leadership is expected by citizens to assure peace and prosperity for Europe, not provoke war with its dire consequences,

The troops are not necessarily US troops, Canada has already promised 1000 headcount. But that does not change the provocation.
