The absolute sheer insanity of this move goes without saying. I catch much grief because I’ll post the Russian point of view as reflected by Tass. This, I think, is a factual recounting of the event. Compare the Tass report with the over the top, warmongering CBS version.

Republicans in Congress need to get the message that the base will not tolerate American troops on the ground in Ukraine. Period.

This is ridiculous.

My son in law is the 101st. There is zero concern about him being sent to Europe.

I question your loyalties by what you are posting. The Russians are the true aggressors in this conflict. Do you want a larger war to result by not supporting Ukraine in defending itself? Take a look at history. The beginnings of WW2 were a result of a failure to stop Nazi Germany .

Lunacy. Refighting the WWII eastern front battles with our guys in the Nazi role, with minimal artillery and armor. Our MBA JFK school of government generals at their best again.

There have regularly been US brigades on maneuvers in Poland and the Baltics and Romania. And if there is a Russian “attack on Nato” then what country that unit enters is moot.

I dont see anything at all different about this than at any time in the last twenty years.

It’s called prudent planning and training.

This particular US military endeavor, or whatever we want to call it, literally on the opposite side of planet earth, will be modeled after recent success stories of such efforts, of which there are no examples.

and while they’re there to defend NATO territory, if the fighting escalates or there’s any attack on NATO, they’re fully prepared to cross the border into Ukraine

TASS is using quotation marks to infer that the US commander stated that we are ready to cross the border. In the original article there are no quotation marks around that statement and it is clear that those are the reporters words, not the US commander’s.

“ The US Army’s 101st Airborne Division is ready to enter Ukraine in case of further tensions between Moscow and Kiev…”

“…The commanders told CBS News repeatedly that they are always ‘ready to fight tonight,’ …if the fighting escalates…, they’re fully prepared to cross the border into Ukraine,” the media outlet added.

***************************************************************************

I sure as hell hope the Globalists controlling Biden don’t have him order American troops into Ukraine “in case of further tensions between Moscow and Kiev” or “if the fighting escalates”.

Of course our STUPID resident warmongers would be thrilled at that escalation of American involvement and boast of Biden’s “wisdom”.

US division ready to enter Ukraine in case of attack on NATO

Excellent!

War with the Russian Federation, just what we need.

And we'll be needing to suspend elections in this emergency.

Why would they enter Ukraine? Why wouldn’t they enter the NATO country being attacked?

"We're ready to defend every inch of NATO soil,"

Except the southern border of the United States..
