NATO needs to pull its soldiers from Ukraine
Asia Times ^ | 3/1/24 | Stephen Bryen

Posted on 03/02/2024 10:19:04 AM PST by EnderWiggin1970

If NATO is so much against sending troops to Ukraine, why doesn’t NATO demand that the soldiers already there be sent home?

On Monday, February 26, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that Germany would not provide its Taurus long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine because doing so would require German troops to be sent there to operate them, just as the British are operating the Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles.

The British cried foul and accused Scholz of a “flagrant abuse of intelligence” – meaning that Scholz confirmed what everyone already knows, that NATO officers and trained personnel are in Ukraine operating weapons such as the Patriot and NASAM air defense system, the HIMARS multiple launch rocket system, the British-French Storm Shadow cruise missile (SCALP-EG in France), and many other complex weapons provided to Ukraine.

I hadn't realized how much effort had been put into assassinating Putin, which reflects startling cluelessness among Western elites about Russia. Rather than a replacement being the obsequious toady that they seek, I judge it is far more likely his replacement would smuggle a nuke into DC and set it off as a way of saying "bugger off."

The U.S. already has boots on the ground - unofficially of course.

Guy's an asshole, who cares? Put him and Zel the Clown in a cage, give the a knife each, and let them go at it.

And while they're at it, drop the cage into the deepest part of the ocean.

While I understand the “feeling” of your post, it doesn’t address reality.

Blowback is a very real thing. Attempting to kill the President of Russia could lead to nuclear war.
Just because something hasn’t happened ever before is no guarantee it won’t occur.

The world doesn’t seem reasonable to me.

Putin is a moderate . His replacement quite possibly will be more hardline.

It’s like no one has a clue about the history of Vietnam.

Most Americans are uninformed about everything, outside of celebrity gossip.

The Sh*t hit the fan Thursday and Friday in NATO. NATO leader walked back Macrons comments about putting French troops in Ukraine to protect airfield. Russia threatened to go to War with all of NATO automatically if any NATO troops are sent.

All those Bilateral Security Agreements by individual NATO Countries was for naught.

Do you actually believe that nonsense? GRU must be gloating over how easy it is to fool ignorant westerners. We stopped teaching critical thinking in our schools during Vietnam, and this is the result.

My wife and I met a man who is a member of a band that is popular in Ukraine. He has been there since the invasion and talked about the large number of military “contractors” that he has met there from the US and other NATO countries... It is not much of a secret.

My wild guess about explaining any USA dead from Ukraine would be to announce it as a death by accident or incident from some other region of the world.

Smart people judge the content, not the source.

Like the two SEALS that disappeared in the Red Sea, or the Marines that died in the recent helicopter crash in CA...and many, many others.

Putin being a comparable moderate in Russia, that is my take too.

There’s a difference between mercs from the US, and US troops.
