NATO 'land corridors' will rush US troops to front lines of any future European war, Telegraph reports
The Kyiv Independent ^ | 6/4/24 | Chris York and The Kyiv Independent news desk

NATO is creating a series of "land corridors" that would be used to rush U.S. troops across Europe to confront Russian forces in the event of a major conflict with Moscow, The Telegraph reported on June 4.

Warnings that the Kremlin could attack a NATO country in the near future have increased in urgency in recent months.

Eirik Kristoffersen, Norway's top general, said the military alliance only has two to three years to prepare, Bloomberg reported on June 3.

"At one point someone said it'll take 10 years (before Russia reconstitutes its offensive capacity), but I think we're back to less than 10 years because of the industrial base that is now running in Russia," Kristoffersen said.

At a NATO meeting in Vilnius last year, NATO leaders agreed to develop new plans to ensure the alliance could provide "300,000 troops at high readiness."

According to The Telegraph, U.S. troops and armor would land at one of five ports in the Netherlands, Greece, Italy, Turkey or Norway from where they would travel through land corridors to NATO countries bordering Ukraine.

These land corridors would be free of bureaucratic local restrictions which in the past have held up the movement of troops and armor, leaving them stuck at borders.

Previous NATO plans only allowed for U.S. troops to land at Rotterdam in the Netherlands, but Ukraine's experience of long-range missile attacks since the launch of the full-scale invasion has prompted a rethink.

Expanding the number of ports and having multiple land corridors would mean if one was hit, others would still be available to use.

"Everything is created in a way so the necessary resilience exists – robustness, reserves and also redundancies," Lt Gen Alexander Sollfrank, the chief of NATO’s Joint Support Enabling Command, told The Telegraph.

Classic Biden— wrong war, wrong time, wrong place. But it doesn’t help to have jumpy european generals panicking at the thought of a Russian onslaught. geez, what a mess.

I’m no Forest Gump military genius, but there is a risk that fast traffic flow through “land corridors” can end up being the enemy’s. Massing forces in fixed, pre-known, confined areas also creates dandy “kill zones” for an enemy with lots of artillery, missiles, drones, and bombers. The Russkies must be alarmed by these briar patch opportunities. And that’s all I have to say about that.

Let’s see the ‘land corridors’ to send U.S. troops to the Southern border to stop the ongoing invasion.

NATO is planning to start WWIII and the US is supplying the troops. That wrong-headed thinking is enough to cause the re-writing of the NATO treaty and removing the US from direct support.

Why should the U.S. shed a single drop of blood for the islamic nations that constitute Europe/NATO?

We have more reason to be allied with Russia than we do with the degenerate globalist Europeans. Europe, with the exception of Poland and Hungary, is no longer our friend. As the headquarters of globalism, it is actually our, and the world’s, greatest enemy.

Our troops will link up with the Swedish troops for the final deathblow against Russia, according to Pentagon planners.

They’d get their azzes kicked.

The elite can't see what they've done. Our view from ground level looks pretty bleak.

Actually Obama, as you know Just think how popular Biden would be here and abroad if he negotiated peace between Russian and Ukraine instead of escalating the war.

A war would give Biden a temporary “rally ‘round the flag” boost. The trick is to time it right, and make it look like we were attacked. A false-flag operation in early October would do just fine.

It is bad tactics to try to use a floating pier in the Mediterranean when the wind and wave conditions exceed the design parameters of the pier, too. So what? We are the US high command. We always win, so shut up.

We used to build mine fields and leave some open for this reason. Create a funnel, a kill zone. This is even easier, they don’t have to set it up.

I think that they just want white man to off each other. We’re the most uppity.

One carrier, hit by rockets, rolling over and taking a crew of Americans to Davy Jones Locker—all on videotape—would do the trick.

Not only that - dumb-ass neocons and their corrupt Uniparty puppets have also overthrown our main strategic foundation since the 1960s - do not allow Russia and China to become allies against the United States. Even Zbigniew Brzezinski in his book "The Grand Chessboard," which neocons love to cite in their efforts to neuter and control Russia, warned that attempting to flip Ukraine would likely unite Russia and China (and the Islamic world) against the USA.

China can not believe its incredible luck. Stupid Americans are destroying Europe's economy, blowing out their own debt, while trying to occupy a still western-looking Russia.

China are loving it. They can sit back and watch the show. Its a win-win-win for them.
