BERLIN — Ships began unloading U.S. tanks, self-propelled howitzers and hundreds of other fighting vehicles Friday in the northern German port of Bremerhaven, to be moved into Eastern Europe to bolster NATO’s deterrence against possible Russian aggression.

Some 3,500 troops from the 4th Infantry Division in Fort Carson, Colorado, will join up with the equipment, which includes 87 tanks and 144 Bradley fighting vehicles, over the next two weeks.

The deployment marks the start of a new phase of Operation Atlantic Resolve, which foresees the continuous presence of an American armored brigade combat team in Europe on a nine-month rotational basis. The mission is meant to help allay concerns from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and other NATO allies over an increasingly unpredictable and bellicose Russia.

Historically it’s been Germany rolling tanks into other countries.

Except these tanks are welcomed. Not so much by the Putin fanboys though.

Looking back on the last 8 years we got everything we expected from this incompetent, Kenyan fool. Now he thinks he’s going to start a shooting war with Russia with 2 weeks left?

Someone read him his rights.

It'll be nice when Trump's president. His administration won't put all of our troop movements and specific quantities and types of military hardware broadcast by the AP for all the world to see.

We should turn these tanks on the ISIS sleeper cell centers (Uhhh, I mean refugee centers).

As we progress closer to Trump’s inauguration, Obama’s insanity is increasing at a geometric rate.

You can’t move an American armored brigade combat team in peacetime in secret.

They should be more worried about the ongoing Islamic invasion.

Just mark them with "Quarter-Moon and Star" markings and flags. Nobody will notice.

All you guys should be asking where all the German tanks are.

Answer? Look for yourselves at the German tank totals over the last 20 years.
