NATO’s European contingent is primarily used for staging HBO and Hollywood battle scenes. Maybe they are filming some Napoleonic drama or other. Did anyone notice what kind of uniforms they are wearing?

A February 2016 RAND Corporation study suggested that Russian forces could overrun NATO’s Baltic states in less than three days.

“As currently postured, NATO cannot successfully defend the territory of its most exposed members ... Across multiple games using a wide range of expert participants in and out of uniform playing both sides, the longest it has taken Russian forces to reach the outskirts of the Estonian and/or Latvian capitals of Tallinn and Riga, respectively, is 60 hours.”

Bingo, and that's AFTER months of negotiations and shake downs for US $$$$ to pay for the EUroweenies "share" of the load.

NATO is a paper mache tiger, unless you are Serbia or Libya with no real way to effectively strike back.

Obama and Hillary really wants them some war with Russia.

Should people be dumb enough to vote for Hillary (well, some are, of course) they’ll be trying to cover for the collapse of Obamascare, the lies on “employment”, the fake money printing.....

Oh, you’re getting Change, liberal America. It wasn’t what you Hoped for.

VOTE TRUMP

They DO have about 5k troops that can move pretty quick (couple of days). Mechanized force. Pretty formidable. 300k is ALOT of troops....and only 100k are infantry/armor/arty methinks. 200k for supply/intel/medical/transport/etc.

When the air becomes uraneous, we all go simultaneous.

And we'll all go together when we go!

Who thought we'd be recalling that Tom Lehrer lyric after the "collapse" of the Soviet Union? Yet it's become a grim reality after the foolishness of the Left in allowing to Putin to break international agreements to grow his nuclear arsenal; and allowing Pakistan, NK, and Iran to become serious international nuclear threats. Yet here we are. Duck and cover kiddies!

5k is a brigade sized task force, or in this case, a pesky speed bump for the Russians.

A Task Force Smith Redux.

maybe this is all a faux war so that if the witch gets elected, they can give her a Nobill prized for stopping a war that wasn’t a war.....

“....they’re gonna get us into a disasterous nuclear and worse war FOR NOTHING EXCEPT THEIR PERSONAL ENRICHMENT”

They’re probably aware that they’re also doing such for Lucifer, their ‘god’.

They’ve already been invaded and all but conquered by the moslem hordes, with hardly a shot being fired. What’s left to save?

Europe reminds me of the baby in “Who’s the Daddy” game. The baby tries to kill itself various ways and the Daddy has to run around and stop this from happening.

The US is like that Daddy that has to save Europe from the Kaiser, Hitler, USSR and Islam.

Ha ha, ridiculous false security. 300 000 is nothing. The entire population is disarmed and without civil
defense. Once these 300 000 are wiped out, it is bubye Europe.

They repeat the same idiotic trust in their authorities as when during WWII

Imagine going to war with Russia over who runs Syria. Syria!

Can't imagine anyone messing up foreign policy worse than Obama and his crack team of Hillary Clinton and John Kerry.

> The irony just froths and surges.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if Russia used the enriched uranium the Clinton’s sold them to build the nukes they use against NATO installations to wipe them out?

“...Hitlery will.”

Sure does seem that way.

My question is, why the hell do Obama, Hillary and NATO have a wild hair up their collective ass about Russia? It’s not like they are preparing to invade the West.

Just a thought, and a crazy thought at that, but it makes me think that perhaps the economy is about to implode or the dollar is about to collapse and the best way to solve the problem in their minds is to start a war.

Again, just a thought. Hope I’m wrong but with turds like Barry in charge, it wouldn’t surprise me if they do start a war and kill a few hundred thousand people just to cover their asses and protect their own selfish interests.
