You might want to look at what comprised French Indochina, since it was one heck of a lot more than just Vietnam. Ever hear of Dien Bien Phu

IIRC wasn’t Germany’s offer to Mexico to retake the SW partly what prompted Wilson to get into the war.

Meanwhile, General Milley and the Fighting Sodomites of the 69th are stateside, lecturing others on their gender preferences, pronouns, artificial hormones, and surgical mutilations of their genitalia.

This was intended as a reply to comment #6, but it's appropriate for both of you.

Yes. Ever heard of history across more than a short period of time?
Thanks, however, for the link. In the article those "gooks" THERE were called nationalists. Yeah, the French "pulled out," and then, as the article YOU reference stated, "The United States would not pull out of Vietnam for another twenty years."
War lost. Some of my buddies died there, so go rattle timber to someone who thinks you a wise historian. Repeat: The United States would not pull out of Vietnam for another twenty years."

The 101st can’t do parachute assaults.

Germany's offer to Mexico was for it to declare war on the U.S. and to retake the Southwest, Texas, and California. But that happened in January 1917, and the Brits, who deciphered the so-called "Zimmerman Telegram," gave it to the U.S. State Department on February 24, three weeks after the Germans' re-commenced unrestricted U-Boat warfare and sunk several U.S. merchant vessels.
The Zimmerman Telegram
So that's not a very good analogy at all.

Good to see the 101st Airborne in Romania to help our allies against the same cancer that spread into Europe and threatened us the last time. Don’t bow to nuclear blackmail from a terrorist state.

And the Biden regime and its J6 committee and FBI have locked up hundreds, and the Biden regime and its DOJ are arresting anti-abortion activists, and the Biden regime and its CDC/FDA are making mRNA experimental drugs part of the childhood schedule, and the Biden regime and its drag queen storytime in schools and school libraries is just fine, and the Biden regime and its push for transsexual surgeries paid for by the US military is just sensible, and the Biden Regime and its allies are subpoenaing President Trump, and.... The one who casts the first stone....

American troops in a NATO country is NOT a provocation!
————-
American troops in a non NATO country is provocation. The US has built, funded, training bases in Ukraine since 2015 and we have manned them, to the point of the Ukies having the largest army in the EU ( until this conflict- they have been whittled down immensely), 600,000 troops was the pre war Ukie Army manpower. The US has gone way to far, time for a smack down?
YES.

Wasn’t straw when the U.S freaked out about a Mexico/German alliance. The U.S is going to face the situation of China clients on the doorstep. Funding freakshows in Ecuador won’t prevent it. Military action might. But isn’t that what Russia is doing
To: Timber Rattler
I’ve known a few guys that were at Dien Bien Phu, one showed me the opening of a Champagne bottle with a regimental sword, and one I spent time with (trained with) was still on active duty.

There is no doubt in my mind that the US pushed Russia into this. Yeah, Russia invaded, no doubt. But there were many multiple ways this all could have been avoided. And there is little doubt that this conflict would have never happened under a Trump administration.
But Biden and the neocons are doing everything in their power to walk us into WWIII.

When President Trump reactivated V Corps he also moved it forward from Germany to Poland.
The 82nd was manning the V Corps European headquarters in Poland and just recently the 101st replace them.
