Maybe it’s a good idea to let the Russians overtake Europe, better than Merkel’s Muslim rapists.

There are more fans at a typical college football game.

hmmm you're right about that but it depends on what those 55,000 men are trained to do.

Think about a well trained 55,000 man force in a coordinated attack on civilian population centers. It's not all about the numbers.

I'll give you 55,000 people in the football stadium and I'll take 3 rifle platoons and a weapons platoon with machine guns and mortars. I'm not going to brag, but I think that ammo would be my limiting factor.

Here’s a frenchfry to go with that ketchup:

http://www.denverpost.com/2016/11/04/fort-carson-troops-deploy-europe-january/

Deployment is in response to rising tensions with Russia and is the fort’s largest since the Cold War

More than 4,000 Fort Carson soldiers will head overseas this winter, the post’s largest deployment of troops to Europe since the Cold War, the Pentagon confirmed Thursday.

The post’s 3rd Brigade Combat Team will arrive in Poland in January to join in Operation Atlantic Resolve, a string of training exercises designed to demonstrate America’s commitment to the region. The deployment from Fort Carson is part of a wider Department of Defense program to beef up America’s military presence in the region amid rising tensions with Russia stemming from that nation’s 2014 intervention in Ukraine, said Lt. Col. Jason Brown, a spokesman for the 4th Infantry Division, which includes the brigade.

“RUSSIA has massed 55,000 troops along their eastern border as they prepare to unleash a “frightening war” upon Europe.”

I thought their “Eastern Border” was the Pacific Ocean?

“55,000 is roughly 3.5 Divisions. Not a huge force.”

Not by modern standards, but compared to what’s left of NATO, they probably roll over the continent in a matter of days.

“55,000 troops is not a whole lot for an imminent invasion.”

Depends - when your only opposition is a few police precincts with cops on horseback, it’s quite a big number.

That’s true.

Many more Muslims are in place than that Russian force. Only a few Muzzies tied up Paris. Europe will hurt if the Muzzies decide to go for it.

Well, if Islamists get in power and have nuclear weapons at their fingertips (our “friends” in Pakistan notwithstanding).....

Great point.

The cherry on top is nuclear capability.

Why would EU leaders suicide their countries for a nuclear Islam?

That’s the question.

Probably the reactivated 1st Guards Tank Army or the newly formed 20th Combined Arms Army.

To learn who your nation’s friend is, look at which nation the Mainstream Media criticizes the most.

If Russia massed their troops on its eastern border then those boys are going to have a long walk before they get to Poland.

If the troops are massed in the Kaliningrad (Königsberg) Oblast, they would be right on the Polish border.
