Can you imagine Obama going toe-to-toe with the Rooskies in nuculer combat?

When did Ukraine join NATO? I guess I missed that development.

They’re going to possibly deploy in Eastern European countries. Like Poland. Estonia. Romania. You know, members of the NATO alliance.

Wesley Clark is better at using tanks against women and children, like at Waco.

Send out an AF General to rattle a sabre or two. Put the fear into Vladimir.

Good grief.

We got a crew of morons blundering about.

I wonder if they’ll be allowed to carry a gun, or one
without bullets. Will they have to read the Amanda rights
to a ??????? before shooting it?

Let me tempt you to read the article.

Oh, and I think you mean Miranda rights.

I don’t see a problem with deploying troops to these places.

Like from Demnark, the Netherlands, Norway, or Italy, let’s say.

I DO have a problem with sending US troops, however. It is far past the time that Europe start taking, and paying for, some of its own security.

The quote from the General was involvement by any country wouldn’t be ruled out including the US. I’m sure the Europeans will participate.
