<p>Obama recently revealed he would like to quadruple military spending in Europe in response to Russia&rsquo;s intervention in Ukraine.</p>
<p>Obama will announce this new spending plan, increasing the military budget in Europe to $3.4 billion, next week as he unveils his final budget in office.</p>
<p>This plan represents Obama&rsquo;s first admission that diplomacy efforts did not work when dealing with the Russia-Ukraine situation. The increase in spending would go towards &ldquo;continuous U.S. armored brigade rotations&rdquo; through Central and Eastern Europe, increased participation with NATO military forces and a heavier deployment of equipment and supplies. Obama also plans on calling upon NATO forces to join him in arming against Russia to protect other NATO allies.</p>
<p>Many foreign and political analysts see the move as a way for the U.S. to attempt to undo the many missteps that have been taken under Obama&rsquo;s lead. One of those analysts is foreign policy specialist of the Heritage Foundation, Dan Kochis, who says, &ldquo;Russia&rsquo;s aggression in Europe is in large part a direct result of the Obama administration&rsquo;s misguided policies toward Russia. &ldquo;The administration is now playing catch-up, trying to alleviate the aftermath of a lack of American leadership in Europe. We still do not have a comprehensive strategy toward Russia. Until the U.S. develops and implements one, our policies toward Russia will remain haphazard and a step behind.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Obama is not the only one concerned about Russia&rsquo;s presence in Europe. Three Polish delegates have planned to visit the U.S soon to try to get even more support, nervous about Russia&rsquo;s intentions. All of Europe fears that Russia will begin to invade areas with large Russian populations, and will see Obama&rsquo;s actions as a way to reassure NATO and not necessarily a threat.</p>
