Spread thin, but we ARE there! Not too long ago it would have been 3500 soldiers, rather than 350. But this was planned under Obama as a show of farce to Russia.

Soon we will be fer more present in Europe.

Nothing to see here. Planned rotation and training exercises. Go about your bidness!

“Yesterday’s massive demonstrations in Romania , where around 100,000 people gathered, were sponsored and organized by Soros financed NGO’s in Romania, and by the Soros funded political party, the USR. They were praised and supported by the openly masonic German president of Romania, Klaus Iohanis, who incited violence and called for a revolution. “

Black Sea Resolve seems more appropriate.

Our presence in Europe will continuously decrease in Europe, and appropriately so.

For instance, neither Romania or Bulgaria will ever achieve 2% GDP on defense. Nor will most of the other NATO countries including Germany and France.

We would be fools to stay.

Last I checked, the US was being invaded from Mexico, millions have invaded through that route.

No one has invaded us from Romania or Russia.

Why is USgov putting so many troops near the Russian borders? I’m all USA and strong military, but I do not agree Russia is doing anything. Who is provoking them? Why?

Perhaps it is time to bring back V Corps and VII Corps with their 4 divisions, 2 armored cavalry regiments, corps artillery and support units from the Army’s list of inactivated units back to active duty?

This tank unit is also known as the “Vampire Killers”. Wonder why?

Count Yorga, Dracula and Harry Reid all asked for visas to Bulgaria.

show of farce

Imagine if the Russians, after great effort, relocated a battalion from the Urals to say Vera Cruz in operation Caribbean Resolve. We would not know whether to laugh or cry. But we could count on the fact that the idiot who excuted the move would be "removed" by Putin.

See this is ours. We put a pawn on it.

In terms of strategic value, the whole thing is noise.

Bolstering Eastern Europe against Islam would be a good plan. Even the soft Western Europeans would benefit. You could take many troops in Western Europe and move them east.

I translate it into Russian as, “don’t worry, Vlad. We’re not keeping a permanent garrison of any size in Eastern Europe. Maybe an advisor or twenty. Go on with whatever it is you’re doing in the Ukraine. We’ll munch popcorn and make occasional angry noises.”
