Exactly, as an ex 82nd Airborne trooper I am disgusted by senile Joe’s poking the bear. As well trained as the 82nd and 101st is, a brigade of us ( the standard rapid deployment brigade force) would not have a chance. If a combat parachute assault would be attempted, we are only combat effective only for 3 days without rapid, constant re-supply. All show.

“ Keep poking the bear.”

Yes. In order not to irritate Putin and the Russian aggressors, the 101st should have been deployed to Namibia or Paraguay.

During the Cold War, we had troops positioned right next to Soviet client state borders. Ukraine isn’t even a Russian puppet yet.

Looking at it historically, Russia is primed to attack preemptively. These NATO forces will be the trip wire that starts WWIII. That is precisely why the warmongering maniacs in DC have placed them there.

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

#2: "Keep poking the bear."

Should the Russians send their airborne divisions to train along the Mexican border? You can tease and taunt an animal only so much before it snaps back at you.

Russia: As a matter of personal ego and honor and patriotism we will wipe out all human life in World War III.

USA: Ditto.

“Keep poking the bear.”

It’s just an exercise. Unlike Russia NATO has never tried to pass off an invasion as a routine exercise.

And if that doesn't work, he'll hit'em with his purse..!
