“Then all the people on this site will finally be happy to get their nuke war and they will cheerlead as Americans and Canadians get killed until its their turn. They disgust me. They know who they are.”
Ohh Rah!
That is the current Scuttlebutt...
The National Guard has been in Europe on an rotational basis for years. You do know the Florida Army National Guard was in Ukraine when it kicked off last year? I’m sure Russia knows that well and isn’t come catalyst to start anything.
“I live in the flight path of a large military airfield. Before biden, conversations outdoors were frequently interrupted waiting on a plane to fly over because it was so loud. Now, I seldom see any planes flying. I mean DAYS go by with nothing. Used to have Chinooks and other Army helicopters flying all the time. F22 Raptors...lots of other jets. Big transport planes. There is NOTHING flying anymore.”
My wife and I were talking this morning about the lack of military planes flying over our area since Biden.
We live about 50 miles north of Gay Frisco, about 50 miles west of Sacramento and we seldom hear nor see a military plane overhead.
One of our DNA sons and his wife flew back from SeaTac to Sac the week after Labor Day on a civilian plane, South West. That plane was basically the only plane in the air covering supposed major military fields from 10 am to
when it landed at Sac.
It took off on time and landed 20 minutes ahead of schedule.
One of the pilots told my son, that was often SOP on the west coast since Biden.
I’m not saying they don’t want the ability. They don’t have it, and the with their cultural taboos about losing face, I don’t believe they will ever pull the trigger on one. The odds of being thrown back into the ocean is too great a risk. If the PLA looks vulnerable it is dangerous for the CCP’s security, and a loss like that tends to disappear Party members.
“Why, why are our national guards being used outside of our country?”
Everyone take a breath and step back.
These training exercises are completely legit and everyday, as budgets allow.
In 1986 I was regular Army, attached to the Wisconsin Army National Guard and we went on a REFORGER exercise (REturn the FORces to GERmany). National Guard units have deals/compacts/treaties (?) with various countries in Europe. We’re given a window of time (sometimes only 30 days!) and we need to be packed up and ready to go and on the ground over there with manpower, equipment and weapons to show them that they are our Allies and that we CAN get to them quickly if they need our assistance.
It was a blast. A once in a lifetime experience. :)
This is nothing more than that. They’ll be bringing back all of the equipment; we’re not GIVING it to them!
“Why, why are our national guards being used outside of our country.?”
It is not at all unusual. The National Guard has both state and federal obligations.
Crying parents tell their children
If you survive don’t do as we did
A son exclaims there’ll be nothing to do to
Her daughter says she’ll be dead with you
While foreign affairs are screwing rotten,
Line morale has hit rock bottom
Dying embers stand forgotten
Talks of peace were being trodden
Stand or fall, state your peace tonight
Stand or fall, state your peace tonight
Is this the value of our existence
Should we proclaim with such persistence
Our destiny relies on conscience
Red or blue, what’s the difference
Stand or fall, state your peace tonight
Stand or fall, state your peace tonight
It’s the Euro theatre
It’s the Euro theatre
It’s the Euro theatre
An empty face reflects extinction
Ugly scars divide the nation
Desecrate the population
There will be no exhaultation
Stand or fall, state your peace tonight
Stand or fall, state your peace tonight
It’s the Euro theatre
It’s the Euro theatre
It’s the Euro theatre
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall
Stand or fall

This escalation is an attempt to frighten the Russians into submission. This will clearly not work. I doubt the new resources will be of much value once this goes nuclear.
) but the military threat they pose is way overblown.
/\
Really ?
You did hear about the CCP demanding boarding rights on anything in the Taiwan straights didn’t you ?
That’s a defacto naval blockade.
You strike me as one who wishes to lull US to sleep over the CCP military threat.
Without those Taiwan chip manufactors our military is in deep crap.
stop being such a verklempt drama queen
there won’t be any nuke war
“Ummm, Finland is not a member of Nato, it hasn’t been voted on yet. Turkey is not ‘all in’ on that Nation joining.”
Ummm, you’re late to the dance. Both Turkey and Hungary voted to approve Finland’s membership and the official ceremony was a couple days ago. Thus, Finland is now officially a full NATO member.
Civilians, LOL!
See my Post #47.
I’m sure, but this is obviously unique and designed to create big media attention.
Big difference between “Regular” and “Extraordinary”.
“The US will send F-35, F-15C, F-16 fighters and A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft to Europe in the largest transatlantic movement ever”
Yep...
“This is a direct act of war against Russia.”
No, it’s not. It’s a deployment to Europe for an exercise, which we do all the time.
“This idiot we got is going to go start WWIII.”
I despise Biden, but your hyperbole is unwarranted.
“The scuttlebutt is already hinting of full direct U.S. deployment against Russian lines.”
Ah, scuttlebutt: Otherwise known as S**thouse rumors.
Pick up the entire Bible, not just the NT, and study to show yourself approved. Maybe even learn to read Biblical Hebrew, or use a Concordance. It is fascinating
Our problems are not physical, they are spiritual. We need OT understanding AND the forgiveness of Christ. We are simply in rebellion.
What is the definition of “righteous”?
So who is Biden gonna abandon / gift these to?
Epstein’s island had to close.
