NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg said Friday (Feb 25) the alliance was deploying its rapid response force for the first time ever to bolster defences in the face of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"It is still a fluid situation. What we have seen is that the Ukrainian forces are fighting bravely and are actually able to inflict damage on the invading Russian forces," Stoltenberg said after a video summit of NATO leaders.

"Yesterday, allies activated our defence plans and, as a result, we are deploying elements of the NATO Response Force (NRF) on land, at sea, and in the air to further strengthen our posture and to respond quickly to any contingency."

yup it is.
time to buy caviar boys!
Start worrying when Defcon goes to 4, then 3.. And especially when all military frequencies go quiet or encrypted.
“Is this team a bunch of diplomats?”
No, this is going to be a whole world of pain for Russia is they screw around.
Activating this response force comes with a set of protocols for local commanders. Essentially if they take fire from the Soviets then they don’t need any permission to defend themselves and then advance to destroy the attacking force.
IMHO this is going to impact naval fleets far more than ground pounders or the chair force.
Watching Tucker Carlson pivot to this being a humiliation for Biden which diminishes America.
Why should I support anything that Biden & Pelosi & the “intelligence” community are for?
They’ve done nothing to earn my support. Quite the contrary.
weird how you wake up when things go dark.
A single combat brigade and it will take them 10 days to muster.
And they’re Turks, not Europeans.
Laughable. Worthy of derisive laughter.
Why the US is a member of this clown show is beyond comprehension.
What, me worry?
“IMHO this is going to impact naval fleets far more than ground pounders or the chair force.”
Not in the Black Sea.
“Not in the Black Sea.”
Hmmm. If Russia attacks another Turkish ship in the Black Sea then yes, it affects the Black Sea. It’ll be party time for the floating targets flying Russian flags.
I’m deeply disappointed in Tucker Carlson. He’s been wrong all along through this crisis and the damned fool won’t shut up.
And I like him and I’m saying that.
Actually they have a specialized alternate strike force that can be ready in 2-3 days.
Chair Force huh. Keep talking shit faggot.
There is no evidence Russia attacked a Turkish ship.
And if ships start sinking, the nukes will come out on a truly grand scale.
We have to protect the Biden Family Bribery Funds!
“Actually they have a specialized alternate strike force that can be ready in 2-3 days.”
what have these clowns been doing since Crimea?
boondoggle...
Hey bus driver, I’m a Marine.
