Another report here.

Senior military officers of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization described Russian military forces deployed in more than 100 makeshift bases just across the border with Ukraine as being in a state of high readiness—able to move swiftly within hours of a command from the highest level.

Russian invasion? The last OSCE inspection of Russian border regions turned up nothing.

I guess we’ll just have to take NATO’s word for it that Russia stands poised to invade Ukraine at a moment’s notice.

I’m just wondering why the Russians are able to put military on their borders while ours cant even carry water pistols on-base?

It really doesn't matter. To imagine John Wayne or Ronald Reagan doing anything other than what Hussein is doing, is just wishful thinking.

At no time since the end of WWII would we have gotten into a shooting match with the Soviets for invading the Ukraine.

Short of a direct attack on a NATO nation, or on our own assets, the US would never do anything in response to Russia or China. To think otherwise, is just fantasy.

NATO’s top military commander in Europe, drafting countermoves to the Russian military threat against Ukraine, said Wednesday they could include deployment of American troops to alliance member states in Eastern Europe now feeling at risk.

U.S. Air Force Gen. Philip Breedlove told The Associated Press he wouldn’t “write off involvement by any nation, to include the United States.”

So?

When the Inter-Allied Rhineland High Commission (American, Belgian, British and French forces) abandoned the Watch on the Rhine in the 1930’s, nothing was going on that should alarm anybody. Didn’t Neville Chamberlain come back with a treaty guaranteeing “peace in our time”?

That went really well.

Just how do people think Russia would respond to the Obama/Soros/sodomite EU overthrow of their most important neighbor and strategic ally? Do think they would go into a corner and sulk or perhaps send a congratulatory fruit basket?

Russia has no WMD!

No blood for borscht!

No war for big borscht!

No imperialist war for borscht!

How many lives per bowl (of borscht)?

(Just attempting to recycle some old anti-war slogans.)
