It's a shame it's only a war game- it if were real perhaps they could pick up some muzzies & send 'em back home where they belong

NATO is keeping Europe safe for its leftist, progressive, statists in Brussels to run their massive social-engineering schemes.

Hurray.

[chris37]

No “presumptive nominee”?

How strange.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Who are they pretending to fight?

If the UK decides to leave the EU then they will be able to determine what monetary & social benefits scroungers,”refugees”, asylum seekers will receive.

FFS-even the frikkin’ Dalai Lama has piped up on this-why can’t the EU face reality?

Financial Times poll shows ‘Leave’ is trailing by 2%, but the gap is narrowing =>

There are almost no muslims in Eastern Europe. Muslim invaders go to countries like Sweden or Germany who pay them generous welfare. They don’t want to go to Eastern Europe as these countries are still relatively poor and there is no free money.

Czech Republic recently gave asylum to some Christians from Iraq. They were caught going to Germany after a week and were deported.

This is some sort of a psychotic attempt to start a major war against Russia, which could roll NATO up in 36 hours...

[1rudeboy]

LOL. Russia? It would take them half that to sober up.

[Krosan]

Ganeemead, do you mean the RAND study? That study said that a surprise attack by Russia with 27 brigades would reach the outskirts of Tallinn and Riga in 60 hours and concluded that placing 7 brigades in Eastern Europe would be enough to counter it.

Sending a message to Putin who is no doubt quivering in his boots.

With laughter.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Who are they pretending to fight?"

If the war games are going back to the way it was in the 80's my guess is they are fighting the "Red Army" who have a lot of soldiers with the name of Ivan coming over the wire...

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"This is some sort of a psychotic attempt to start a major war against Russia, which could roll NATO up in 36 hours..."

These same type of things were said in the 70's and 80's. It's funny how those vaunted Soviet tanks never came rolling through the Fulda Gap. It wasn't for lack of willpower. What Putin could do is easily overpower the Baltic states who were former properties of the Soviet Empire and are now NATO members which means we would be treaty obligated to go to war if they were invaded. Showing a strong presence in Eastern Europe would be a good guarantee (IMO) that we never have to face that.

Back in 2013, I was one who was all in favor of moving our heavy brigades out of Europe. They were no longer needed. The invasion of the Crimea and subsequent destabilization of the Ukraine changed everything. I agree with Trump that our NATO partners need to increase their defense budgets and some of them are showing signs of waking up to the threat, but we can't abdicate our responsibilities.

[McGruff]

Meanwhile the real invasion goes on

[thesligoduffyflynns]

i could see this- these are mobile troops

[blueplum]

Good question. Why is NATO continuing to expand east ? Church members are admonished not to pray out loud so as not to offend any inbred muslim curr within earshot, yet we thumb our noses at a nuclear Russia for whom? Albania? nuts!
