NATO starts deploying troops as Russia races to win
Asia Times ^ | 4/26/24 | Steven Bryen

Posted on 05/06/2024 10:09:00 AM PDT by hardspunned

NATO is starting to deploy combat troops to Ukraine. Soldiers from Poland, France, the UK, Finland and other NATO members are arriving in larger numbers.

Although Russia says there are over 3,100 mercenaries in Ukraine, these newly arriving troops are not mercenaries. They are in uniform, home country proclaimed via insignia. They mostly are concentrated in the western part of the country, although in some cases they are close to the actual fighting in the east.

None of the NATO county governments today (including the US government) could sustain the personnel loses resulting from a peer-level military conflict. After the loss of their first thousand casualties in a month, every one of these countries will withdraw and leave the Ukrainians to an even worse fate.

>> The French NATO brigade is there in Romania and that’s who’ll lead it.

The FRENCH will be the pointy end of the NATO spear, you say.

It’s not silly. It is simply true.

It’s not in American strategic interest to see a Russian empire gather back all the Soviet republics against their will, either.

I’m all for peace. Let both sides stop fighting. If the Russians left Ukraine, the fighting would be over.

If this sh!t starts before November, President Trump’s election is certain, and he’ll stop it the day after inauguration.

Otherwise — after he is elected in November — this stupid sh!t WON’T start.

“Soviet troops in North Vietnam. These SAMs shot down a lot of my brothers.”

You can thank Macnamara for that. It was hands off and the SAM sites were never cleared. Terrible circumstances, and the traitorous scum were never hanged for their treachery.

May those who perished rest in peace. My blood still boils when I think about that.

Boots on the ground 2 1/2 years late?

Going on 2 1/2 years of winning-yet it supposed to be over in 4-=6 weeks.
https://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=RUB&to=USD&view=2Y

Ruble still in the toilet.

The Russia 1 Year Government Bond has a 15.980% yield.

Day 23 still no follow up to the Iranian “fake” attack.

Week 3 no nukes despite them hitting maybe two weeks ago.

When it comes to acuity this account is the worst case nightmare scenario.

How about NATO force those member countries like Germany, that aren’t funding the required amount for their defense budgets, to get their houses in order before they decide to get us into WWIII.

LBJ briefed every morning on the target list. Would yea or nay them, all from the White House.

Every decision based on politics; nothing on military objectives. Men died due ot this interference.

Best book on this is Going Downtown: The War Against Hanoi and Washington by Jack Broughton

I take it you both know someone who has a golden ticket to one of the nuke-proof bunkers that our “fearless” leaders will be hunkering in until Nuclear Winter abates?

Yesterday Macron announced: France is sending the Foreign Legion to the front lines in Ukraine. Their claim is that only the officers are French The rest are foreign, and many of the troops are Ukrainian and Russian.

How is that going to work out??

You’re the war-monger. How much more money do you want the taxpayers of this country to pay in order to fight yet another proxy war with Russia, like we’ve been doing for the past 71 years since The Korean War?

A NAO Incursion should not even be a "strategy" as it is meant to be a defensive pact.

However, the wargames outcome of "Winner: None" implies that it will escalate to nuclear conflict. Even if it doesn't, I would really like to know if anyone defined terms of an exit strategy.
Here we go again.
Forever wars.

They are not pointy anything. They are the obvious trip wire to draw us in. Can’t you ever figure out what’s going on? They are supposed to be smashed and those Euroweenies will oblige. The bloodier they are, the better to enrage the West so American boys can die there for nothing.

There's actually 3 parties directly involved in this fight.

Let's not pretend there are not.

That should be tribun timur..if you want to see how nasty it really is over there.
I saw one clip the other day where the camera caught to look on a Ukrainians face before the drone hit him.
But, accordingly, war is heroic according to the PC warriors on here.
