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.

Yes, the Russians will attack a German Radio Station while they are on-the-air to tell Germans they better buy Russian Gas or else!

Not much one can do with 100K military, right?

well I don't even control that

I control zero troops

so explain again, what wars have I personally started, if I'm a "warmonger"?

In 1968 the US had a lot more than a brigade in Europe. There were five US divisions in Germany, plus other units elsewhere, notably an airborne brigade in Italy.

There was a drawdown and replacement of some of these units just beginning in 1968 in order to provide more manpower to Vietnam, but that was substituted by a reorg to begin the “reforger” system of prepositioned equipment to be used by quickly flown in personnel from the US.

And of course the US maintained large USAF and Naval/Marine units in the region the whole time.

It’s really simple: Democrat Presidents send Americans to war.

If it would not be for the US most Ukrainians still would have a roof over their heads and sleep in their beds. Probably the eastern portion of the Ukraine which has a large portion of ethnic Russians and was constantly assaulted by radical groups would have been annexed by Russia and things eventually would have settled down. The same goes for Europe if they had not jumped on the US bandwagon. The US purposely damaged the gas supply lines making sure that Europe in general and Germany in particular remains dependent on the US like a colony, just in case they may come to their senses and change their mind.

Those days when Russia had any ideas of expansion are long gone and over with and things of the past. All they want is a quiet neighborhood without NATO or CIA manipulation and intervention. Just like the US likes to keep their backyard free of any intruders. But the warmongers within the US government along with their associates and friends keep egging them on, knowing that a peaceful coexistence is bad for the production of war materials, especially the military industrial complex as well as the globalists, cranking out wartime supplies like there is no tomorrow and if they keep it up there may not be one. So, they keep stirring the pot until it will boil over and it isn’t too far from doing just that.

“O’Bidens playing chicken....he thinks...”

I highly doubt that he has the ability to do what you accuse.

Best he can manage is not to drool on himself too much.

Yo, where are all those endless Ukraine ‘winning’ articles and threads at for the last three to four days you and your other peddlers spam on FR instead of rehashing stuff like a Dam maybe being blown up, or rehashing who blew up pipelines, and now rehashing US troops on the borders in Ukraine?

Oh I know why.....my bad.

Because the source of Biden's dirty money and Fauci’s bio labs must be protected. This [protecting Biden's dirty money source and Fauci’s bio labs] is the actual reason the members of the Worship Joe Biden Brigade and the members of the Worship George Soros church are up in arms. This is why both Soros and Biden said, “Ukraine must be defended.” And their disciples chimed in like trained seals. Until Biden and Soros gave their orations, they never cared a twit about Ukraine. It was only when their masters spoke that the servants responded.

The Russians are the true aggressors in this conflict.

The Russians responded to Ukraine moving towards entry into NATO - which would have put a NATO border just over 300 miles from Moscow.

The ones causing all of this are those who knew Russia would respond that way when confronted.

Who do you happen to think pushed that agenda? Hmmm?

You probably think Japan bombed Pearl Harbor without any outside aggression towards them...

It's a world-wide battle for power and control over the future actions of others. Who do you think is most busy fighting for that control? Hmmmm?

It is all so simple if an individual can look past the government/media blinders. You laid the entire situation out perfectly.

I question your loyalties by what you are posting. The Russians are the true aggressors in this conflict. Do you want a larger war to result by not supporting Ukraine in defending itself? Take a look at history. The beginnings of WW2 were a result of a failure to stop Nazi Germany .

Oh, stuff it.

Let Europe defend their own borders for once.

I took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

I didn't take an oath to defend Ukraine or the European Union.

Just as the Nazis responded to Poland allying with Britain and France.

It saddens me that “our boys” are going to be the goat for the American Democratic Party.

The American Democratic Party has long had “a stiffer” towards the Russians, from the time of the anti-Communist legal proceedings of the 1950’s.

Today, 10/22/22, the American Democratic Party has been hard-charging to out-do Stalin, within the hated framework of the U.S. Constitution.

Today, this zame party is waking up to a loud, singular response from John and Jane Q. Public, ‘NO!’ And with the prospect of the American Democratic Party sees its power being ripped from its hands with the upcoming election, its scheming and posturing for war, to carry them safely through the elections.

Innocent? Ukraine is a corrupt government, and the top nation when it comes to stealing personal identities and credit card data for sale on the black market.

What about Ukraine wanting to be in NATO - putting a NATO border just over 300 miles from Moscow?

Do you seriously think that Russia would just sit by and let that happen? Or would they push back against that geo-political aggression?

You see the answer before you...

The US is ready to defend the NATO counties. Are the NATO countries ready to defend NATO countries??? - or will they send a handful of troops and let the US do all the heavy lifting, while sitting back watching the show????

This is no less than two insane men, literally drunk with power, wrestling while wearing suicide vests with my grandchildren watching from the front row.

Bears repeating.

And a couple of power-drunk, insane men in our own country throwing gasoline on the fire.
