US division ready to enter Ukraine in case of attack on NATO — TV
Tass ^ | 10/21/22 | Tass

Posted on 10/22/2022 8:38:35 AM PDT by hardspunned

WASHINGTON, October 22. /TASS/. The US Army's 101st Airborne Division is ready to enter Ukraine in case of further tensions between Moscow and Kiev or an attack on a NATO member state, CBS News reported, citing the division’s command staff.

"We're ready to defend every inch of NATO soil," the division's Deputy Commander Brigadier General John Lubas said, as cited by the media outlet. Commander of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team Colonel Edwin Matthaidess, in turn, noted that his troops, deployed to Romania, have been "closely watching" the Russian forces, "building objectives to practice against" and conducting drills that "replicate exactly what's going on" in the war.

"In all, about 4,700 soldiers from the 101st Airborne's home base in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, have been deployed to reinforce NATO's eastern flank," CBS News noted.

"The commanders told CBS News repeatedly that they are always ‘ready to fight tonight,’ and while they're there to defend NATO territory, if the fighting escalates or there's any attack on NATO, they're fully prepared to cross the border into Ukraine," the media outlet added.

It’s the same article I referenced and link in my post, Post 98.

If you want to talk to someone about how many times the 101st has been to Europe, tell CHARLIE D’AGATA, STEVE BERRIMAN, TUCKER REALS that they’re all wrong and that they should amend their article.

Russia makes its living by exporting.
And its got huge assets just hanging out there, in the US and Europe. And it cant really repatriate this. Its not set up to be a hermit kingdom.

Yes its going to pay.

I said, "They did on Jan 3 2021. They had the speaker of the house conduct the vote for Jan 6. Which that is the States job by US code"

you said, "You have no idea how any of this works do you? Your confident ignorance is staggering."

What part don't you understand? Pence supposed to conduct the vote not Pelosi. Jan 3rd they took that power away from Pence. That was the coup d'état. Though Pence went along with the Coup.

They used covid lock down rules for the insurrection on January 6 2021. Covid rules only allowed eleven members from each part on the floor. Which wasn't enough on the floor for an audit if things didn't go there way on Jan 6.

Bull. This thing is going to end in some sort of stalemate at some point. Most likely with Russia holding rather less than its got now, and exhausted.

And then Russia will have to face rebuilding its economy, in a condition of collapsed energy prices, while everyone hates them. They will deal.

The differences between the Russian trolls/Tass version of the report, and CBS version is yes, of course political point of view, but also a discrepancy in facts.

Factually, the tactics in the mission of the military excercise of the 101st Air Borne division is not to “enter Ukraine” (not a NATO member) but to defend NATO members on NATO’s eastern flank (like Romania) should the Russian was esacalations invlove a NATO member. Doing that is not political, just good strategic planning vis a vis contingencies.

The Tass report is no different than North Korean claims that joint U.S.-South Korean exercises are “provocations”.

I was reading this thread from the bottom up and hadn’t seen your post 98, that other thread is much better than this silly one.

Our woke-ass military will prance into Ukraine and determine the level of diversity and environmental awareness of the Russian army...

The report will be due in 180-days...
There will be hell to pay if the Ruskies are below acceptable standards...

Ok...lets try this one. Maybe not so silly

HISTORIC DEPLOYMENT: CBS News has been given exclusive access to the Army’s 101st Airborne Division as they are deployed to Europe for the first time since the last World War. They are now the closest U.S. forces to the fight in Ukraine.

So, again, feel free to contact CBS News and let them know they have their timeline off a bit.

"The US was using their naval fleet to help shut down oil supply routes for Japan."

Again, that was a trade sanction that Japan deserved with their barbaric empire building in China and Southeast Asia and trying to control the seas in that area.

If you recall correctly, the US and Japan were still having talks about those trade sanctions/embargoes when the Emperor of Japan ordered Yamamoto to a first military strike on American soil. There was NO first American military aggression. We were still negotiating when they attacked Pearl.

One of the biggest mistakes ever made by a cruel imperialistic nation.

Isn’t it funny? rrrod and the other Zelensky-fluffbois aren’t on here telling everyone how they’ve decided to join the fight against tyrannical Putin. How they’re done with being a cheerleader from the sidelines and from behind the comfort of their keyboard.

They just go right to calling anyone that isn’t drooling over Zelensky, actually gives a sh*t about our money and equipment being flushed down a Ukrainian drain, and don’t feel like propping up a foreign government run by some of the most corrupt folks on the planet, a Putin Fluffer or whatever.

No different than any liberal calling anyone that doesn’t agree with them some any type of ‘ist’ or accuse them of some ‘ism’. Tired. Very tired.

More likely this involves Romania reuniting with Moldova and evicting the Russian “peace keepers” there.
