The 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team (CBCT) currently offloading hundreds of armored vehicles, and performing other logistical ops in the former Warsaw Pact country of Romania (Rumania): “The biggest challenge I faced was trying to find the right contact for our operation. Working stateside to move a unit overseas can be a challenge, but once we identified the right contacts they were extremely helpful. We loaded the equipment staged in Montana onto railroad cars on April 23, and the equipment in Idaho on May 9. Upon the vessel’s arrival in Constanta on 20 June we put into effect 24-hour operations with 52 soldiers. Those soldiers were responsible for offloading all tracked vehicles, staging and preparing equipment for onward movement by rail or line haul. We were able to offload the vessel within 36 hours which came as a surprise, as often the vessel offload is completed in 72 hours.”-CWO2 Steven Howell, 116th CBCT

It’s part of preparations for U.S. led NATO’s (and the Orwellian titled Partnerships for Peace alliance) 2016 Saber Guardian wargames, right near the border with Ukraine.
The personnel of the 116th Cavalry can be identified by the Snake River patch on their shoulders. These Snake River guys are from the Montana chapter, and the photo was taken by a Snake River guy from the Oregon chapter. Oregon Army National Guard photo by Sergeant Cory Grogan, 29JUL2016.

The cops killed him, by blasting him through the truck’s windshield, with a bunch of guns. Isn’t it interesting that pistols and “weapons of war” are banned for civilian ownership in France, yet cops are allowed to use them?
The paranoid U.S. Obama regime backed president of South Sudan, Salva Kiir, has always accused refugees of being covert terrorists.
