MOSCOW, December 21. / TASS /. The US is building up a forward military presence near Russia’s borders, deploying about 8,000 troops in Eastern Europe, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said at the expanded meeting of the Defense Ministry Board on Tuesday.
"The US is scaling up its forward military presence near the Russian borders. In Eastern Europe, some 8,000 US troops have been deployed. As for the grouping of US troops in Germany, the Command Theater Engagement has been recreated there. Until 1991, it was responsible for using medium-range missiles," the defense minister noted. According to Shoigu, it is necessary to have strike missile weapons.

The memorandum wasn’t ratified by any party. The condition of memorandum was a neutral status of Ukraine it forfeited in 2007 by voicing the intent to join NATO.
Let’s be clear here. Biden didn’t deploy anyone. He’s not that cognizant.
Someone else did, or really wants to see some type of escalation. Biden is just doing as he’s told. He will probably forget they are there next week anyway.
I keep thinking about the reaction everyone had when Trump pulled out of Syria. It wasn’t a normal reaction either. All of a sudden, those who screamed about going into Iraq were against this. Those who screamed about staying in Iraq were against leaving Syria. And I’m not talking about the usual whiners. There were specific people who didn’t want us to leave Syria and went as far as predicting mass slaughters and stuff.
There is a reason Biden is in the White House and it’s not just because a few counties in the US can’t put forth an honest election.
-—100,00 Russians? Kind of like Chesty Puller saying “ the poor bastards have us surrounded”?
Gamble by a bungler — not arguing this.
Could have worked, however.
This is a trip wire, and frankly none of Americas business. Let The Europeans take care of themselves. Fortress America, time to get back to that.
I see your point but the Germans and their allies could not have won the war. There was too much going against them.
Looks like it.
Russian air defense systems are no joke, as my late Father would attest, having lost 18 men from his squadron in one night over Hanoi. Their electronic warfare and artillery are seriously good as well. This isn’t the Soviet army, you can’t key a radio on the Donbass front without an artillery strike on your position in under 30 seconds in some circumstances. And then of course, there’s the matter of nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles. Which we don’t have. Thou shalt not underestimate thy enemy.
There is no such thing as a ‘limited strike’ by Russia against NATO. If the Russians do such a thing then the situation will rapidly escalate and both sides understand this.
“The third and the most reasonable is to consider Putin’s terms and accept the ultimatum.”
Putin can go do something unnatural to his mother.
Communist Russian propaganda source is not reliable. Just normal movements. Besides Biden is too inept to challenge Putin, and will cowtow to him for more money for Hunter.
this news has brought Liz Cheney to her knees...
...furiously masturbating
These are normal movements, and are less than were there under Trump. The Chinese are also saying similar things vis a vis Taiwan and Japan. Let’s stop believing Communist Soviet and Chinese propaganda papers.
“The Japanese would not attack the United States without a guarantee from Hitler that he would declare war on the US”.
That’s new to me and I’ve studied WW II for years. Where did you get that?
Pretty much. And the poor bastards regretted surrounding Chesty, didn’t they? Because once the weather cleared he made them pay.
8000 US soldiers will be wiped out. Cheater Joe Biden is dead wrong in ptutting US troops pn the ground.
What Cheater Joe shoould be doingis supplying high tech anti tank ordnance and air craft. like maybe 100 wart hogs with lots of depleated uranium ammo.
But 8000 troops? As if Putin wouldn’t dare? Joe is an ikdiot. So is Milley.
“You have over 100,000 troops massed on Ukraine’s border and you whine about 8,000 American troops?”
Whine? Screw you. It is not our fight.
“American mercenaries preparing ‘chemical weapon’ incident in east Ukraine”
That they will unleash, dear God is this crap old.
You are correct. It would be very ugly....for us.
“Please, PLEASE walk into a barracks room of the 75th and call the first group of Rangers you see a bunch of “woke fags.” “
Their first action would be to report someone is being insensitive and made disparaging comments, then go for a good cry while getting group therapy.
“multiplatform force multipliers.”
I don’t think for a second you know what that phrase even means.
