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

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.

The absolute sheer insanity of this move goes without saying. I catch much grief because I’ll post the Russian point of view as reflected by Tass. This, I think, is a factual recounting of the event. Compare the Tass report with the over the top, warmongering CBS version.

Republicans in Congress need to get the message that the base will not tolerate American troops on the ground in Ukraine. Period.

> they’re fully prepared to cross the border into Ukraine,”

I predict it will be near a town called Gleiwitz. Something about a radio transmitter.

This is ridiculous.

My son in law is the 101st. There is zero concern about him being sent to Europe.

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 .

Lunacy. Refighting the WWII eastern front battles with our guys in the Nazi role, with minimal artillery and armor. Our MBA JFK school of government generals at their best again.

There have regularly been US brigades on maneuvers in Poland and the Baltics and Romania. And if there is a Russian “attack on Nato” then what country that unit enters is moot.

I dont see anything at all different about this than at any time in the last twenty years.

The US (Obama/Biden/Soros) violently overthrew the elected Ukraine govt in 2014. There has been war since then.
