US division ready to enter Ukraine in case of attack on NATO — TV

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.

Why don’t you start with looking at the 1976 Reforger units.

Perhaps watching video of the 101st in Germany.

“And we’ll be needing to suspend elections in this emergency.”

Biden has no power to suspend the elections. Elections are held by the states, not the federal government. And neither the president nor Congress can override state powers that are guaranteed in the Constitution.

Finland is about 450.

Helsinki is 676 miles from Moscow (twice the distance of Ukraine), but thanks for playing...

"there was peace before Feb. 23rd"

Factually untrue, there has been a smoldering civil war going on there since before the Obiden sanctioned invation of the Crimea.

There was NO first American military aggression.

The US was using their fleet as a deterrent against oil shipments. No, there wasn't open aggression going on - but it resulted in a large decrease in oil being available to Japan. You could easily call it passive aggression.

Yo, where is your DD-214?

Expose as what?

Someone that doesn’t like our money and resources being poured down one of the most corrupt drains in the world?

Someone that doesn’t like the fact that our military and country is being run into the ground by a bunch of insane radicals and incompetents? Have you listened to any of the statements from the Sec of the Army? Unlikely.

Someone that knows that the US has no interest in Ukraine other than to protect the money laundering operations?

Someone that is worried that US troops will be sent into that place, die for no reason. Unlike someone like you, who will get on an internet site and cheer it all on.

Take it up with CBS News. Not me.

You’re worried about a timeline of when the 101st was there in 1976.

I’m worried about them being there on a doorstep of a war with Russia. And some of those kids dying over there to protect Zelensky.

God help the 101st!

They really belong at our southern border.

2.3 million illegals have jumped the border this year alone. 5 million since Pedo Joe took office.

That’s the whole population of L.A.; twice the population of Chicago!

Not one American soldier should die for Zelensky, the coward who “commands” from a Hollywood set.

Yep. They are being positioned for a move by Belarus into the war. 4,700 is about 2 battalions.

There are plenty on this site and this thread that would have ZERO problem with any of that happening. NONE. ZERO.

Russia bad. Putin bad. Zelensky Good.

That is all that matters.

Call it what you will. The US did not militarily attack Japan. I think Ike made the correct decision by letting the Emperor remain so as not to instigate an insurrection with the Japs.

The politicians in this country are FUBAR.

They allow millions of ILLEGALS to cross our border ILLEGALLY, but send Americans to foreign countries to die sending their borders.

These assholes in DC don’t give a rat’s ass about America.

These sanctuary mayors, governors, lawmakers and President should be tried and executed for murder. End rant.

They’re a trip wire for WWIII, whether they attack or are attacked. Once Russians and Americans start killing each other, sans the proxy, it’s game over. I find it “crap down the leg” terrifying how the maniacs in DC are casually strategizing the fighting of WWIII against the Russians. It appears General Buck Tergidson is charge.

What does the location of Helsinki have to do with anything?

There is the precedent of the 1864 election.

For one, did Zelensky do anything f**ked up to the folks in Eastern Ukraine?

Using your logic the US should be dumping billions and equipment all over the world.

All folks like you do is bring up stuff yet ignoring the fact that Ukraine isn’t in NATO, we have our own problems and we should be paying attention to them. If Europe is afraid of Russia, Europe should be dealing with it. They’ve had over 60 years to get ready.

And, again, when are you dropping everything and grabbing some gear and headed over there to defend Ukraine form a ‘mad dog killer, raping and murdering women and children’ instead of typing at a keyboard?

Since CBS mislead you and you fell for it, you should contact them.

If you read the other thread you will learn the 101st has been to Europe a number of times, even before Trump reactivated V Corps and moved it to Poland.

American troops used to be only a few hundred yards from Russian troops, generations of Americans served on the borders of the Russian empire, and some even fought Russians in Vietnam, not to mention the hundreds that Trump killed in Syria.
