Yerevan /Mediamax/. U.S. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers thinks [Russian President] Putin may invade Georgia and Armenia "to create a land bridge to Iran”.

The Fiscal Times writes this quoting Mike Rogers’s appearance on Fox News.

 

According to the paper, Mike Rogers reported that in addition to massing tens of thousands of troops on the eastern border of Ukraine, Russia is building up its military forces in the separatist Georgian region of South Ossetia.

 

Rogers suggested that Russian president Vladimir Putin is considering an invasion of both Georgia and Armenia, as part of an effort to create an overland link between Russia and Iran.

 

“They are moving some of their most advanced equipment into South Ossetia,” said Rogers.

 

“There is no reason to do that. The Georgian army really poses no threat. That’s certainly concerning. I would ask why is he moving the equipment that he is into South Ossetia up in Georgia, which makes really makes no sense other than they are contemplating maybe using those armor columns to drive through Georgia down to Armenia to create a land bridge to Iran”,  Mike Rogers was quoted as saying.
