5000 troops? vs Russia? THAT’S IT? That’s not a threat, that’s an pre-emptive offer of surrender.

It’s not even that many. 1000 troops. That’s it.

5000 troops? vs Russia? THAT’S IT? Not only, that is the Americans being sent, in ADDITION to the region's own permanent military forces , plus the contributions of the entire 28 nation defensive alliance of NATO.
Doesn't anyone remember how defense of Europe works?

No, it’s more like a tripwire, just like our troops in Korea. For whatever reason, there are people in government, usually liberals, who love to risk our troops at every opportunity.
