“Europe should be doing this themselves”


Agreed...but it is doubtful that the Krauts could even field 200 reliable panzers.

Frankly, this is all nonsense. Russia isn’t the USSR - it is a Turd World nation with nukes, surrounded by enemies, it is at least 500 miles further east than in 1991, and its population is shrinking. Russia is no threat to anyone but nations that try to poke the Bear close to its borders. Even more frankly, we should be moving toward friendly relations and a potential alliance with Russia (though that won’t be realistic for at least 10-20 years). We have much more in common than what divides us - now that Communism is dead in Russia. Now we have to kill it here - and THAT is a bigger threat to this country than all of Stalin’s armies ever were.

Good post. And about German tanks, I fail to see why I should worry about their well-being more than they do.
And bingo, communism is a treat here at home. Globalism is a threat inside our Army.
