Folks, this is a good thing. This didn’t just happen after the election. This type of deployment of heavy armor takes a lot of planning and a lot of time.

This decision was made after the Ukranian crisis. It will re-assure our allies in Poland and Estonia and help bolster all of our NATO allies. Now we need to dump the sequestration, re-build our military and President Trump needs to put the pressure on our NATO allies to live up to their NATO commitments.

I’ve said it before, Putin is not our friend. In order to prevent war, we and the rest of NATO need to stand with one resolve and say that Putin’s aggression into central Europe will not stand. We can work with him, but he must realize that we will not put up with his re-building the soviet empire.

For the gentleman that posted the 1980’s wants their foreign policy back, I suggest you talk to Putin. When he stands down in Ukraine and Georgia, then we’ll stand down. However, we do have 8 years of a weak and feckless commander in chief to thank for this.

I was quoting Obama. His policies towards Russia have been an abject failure - but he had the audacity to say that when Mitt Romney pointed out the emerging threat.

Europe is committing suicide by Islam,so why should we waste any effort to try to save them? The US has been carrying their water since WWI. Let them fend for themselves. Islam is the threat to the entire western world not Putin. He is no worse than most of the leaders of the countries in this world. Crooks, liars, thieves, and would-be dictators abound.
