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.

Yeah, US troops should not be playing the role of the Germans in re-enactments of WWII eastern front battles.
When I was in the 11th ACR (Read: Armored Cavalry Regiment) back in the early 80’s we were called a “speed bump” for the Russian hoards in the famous Fulda Gap in West Germany. I suspect the US forces feel the same way along the Russian border. These politicians disgust me the way they use the military as pawns.
Under the ‘Rat umbrella are a supply of uni-party RINOs like GHWB, GWB, Cheney, Powell, Rumsfeld, [a list of hundreds could follow]
The US military of 1991 was a giant beast compared to the US military of today. Today’s is a joke in comparison. No, todays force could not take on 100,000 Russians on their home turf.
By the way, in the Gulf War, our force was about 500,000 strong, on a flat desert.
Not at all the same as 8000 attacking 100,000k Russians on eastern front WWII battlefields.
I hope our troops are taking notes. They might pick up a few pointers, like what toxic masculinity is all about.
“Even Hitler was afraid of a two-front war;”
Yeah, that’s why he declared war on the US right after Pearl Harbor when things were already starting to go bad on the Eastern Front with the USSR.
Please, PLEASE walk into a barracks room of the 75th and call the first group of Rangers you see a bunch of “woke fags.” Please do that. Your disrespect for the US military from behind your keyboard sure is something.
Hey, if you think it’s so important I have an idea. Did you know you can go to the airport, take a flight to Ukraine, walk straight down an volunteer to help them try to expand their coup to the Donbass and Crimea?
Do not waste another minute! Go today!
During Winter.
“Not at all the same as 8000 attacking 100,000k Russians on eastern front WWII battlefields.”
This isn’t going to be trench warfare or hand-to-hand combat. It’ll be the Russians fighting with 1990’s kit and the US fighting with multiplatform force multipliers.
Besides, if the 8,000 US troops are such a joke then why aren’t the Russians laughing?
Never, never underestimate the enemy.
Yes its easy to see why Russia is alarmed by those 8K troops. They are crack troops, trained in marching in high heels while reciting the Woke mantra on discrimination and critical race theory. Russian Spetsnaz are already looking like they might desert.
“That was before the US military went woke and started with the Covid vaccine mandates.
The mandates will be a strong deterrent to young people who were thinking about joining the military.
Our military is declining—fast.”
I agree. And give it two to six months and the US forces will be less capable than they are today.
But for now...
“even with the US forces going woke the US military can still go through the Russians like poop through a goose.”
Why yes! I bet if we just kick in the front door, the whole rotten house would collapse. We wouldn’t even need to take winter clothes if we attack by June. The Russian nation has a long track record of quick surrender when attacked from the west.
Ukraine is really about NATO?
You sound like you want to fight WW2 again.
Things have changed and so have tactics.
