I was literally just talking to my son in law about this stuff.
He is currently deployed in Eastern Europe. He briefs the division commander every week about the status of our NATO partners…every week.
They are bored. He doesn’t see things getting excited, at least on the short term horizon.
Obviously, they are aware of a lot of the changes happening in Russia, Ukraine, and NATO.
None of the countries he deals with are close to moving towards a “war footing.”
A lot of these stories seem to be hyperbole from his perspective. Most of his peers are looking forward to going to Christmas markets from Vienna to Bavaria to Warsaw.
They seem to be waiting to see what happens in January.
Just two cents from the “ground” level.
That’s interesting. Thanks. I’d like to go to those Christmas markets myself.
Thanks for that report, good input.
