NATO starts deploying troops as Russia races to win
Asia Times ^ | 4/26/24 | Steven Bryen

Posted on 05/06/2024 10:09:00 AM PDT by hardspunned

NATO is starting to deploy combat troops to Ukraine. Soldiers from Poland, France, the UK, Finland and other NATO members are arriving in larger numbers.

Although Russia says there are over 3,100 mercenaries in Ukraine, these newly arriving troops are not mercenaries. They are in uniform, home country proclaimed via insignia. They mostly are concentrated in the western part of the country, although in some cases they are close to the actual fighting in the east.

War-mongering NATO is the source of this whole problem. I don’t blame Russia. I don’t blame Putin. I blame NATO and it’s stupid policy of expansion.

So, NATO has declared war on Russia.

“If true this is not good.”

France denied yesterday’s report from this same source, that they were deploying Legionnaires.

Soviet troops in North Vietnam. These SAMs shot down a lot of my brothers.

The Ukraine is a border region. Everyone wants to expand into it.

Historically, it is part of Russia.
It is not part of the North Atlantic. NATO has no business being there.

Yes, the ones defending against an invasion must be the war mongers, not the ones who actually invaded. Such stupid logic.

You will be quite surprised by the number of NATO planes to be shot down. NATO’s learning curve in the air and on ground will be brutal.

Last summer I suffered much criticism about my fear of an “Inchon” landing near Odessa. The French NATO brigade is there in Romania and that’s who’ll lead it. Bay of Pigs type catastrophe. They will do it to try to counter Russia’s beginning offensive.

You make a silly point. An appeal to emotion to make a nonsense propaganda point.

I'll see your photo, and raise you a photo of US and Soviet soldiers meeting on the Elbe

Smart people make strategy on today's situation. Propagandists for the deep-state promote logical fallacies.

NATO is an defensive alliance of countries, not a nation. Expansion of a club’s membership is not the same as stealing a country.

Historically, the US was native America. We have no business being here. /s

Has this situation now become, by definition WW3?
Most first world countries teaming up against a singular opponent, for their own individual reasons.

Just when I thought it was winding down, due to weapons depletion, and a lessening of the flowing billions continually showered onto the Ukraine.
That would be most unfortunate.

It will be a ‘war’ of their own making. A concocted conflict, in Russia’s territory. One we did not need to jump into.

I hope it’s not true, but if there are any non-negotiables for “The West” it is a pause in the spread of “The West”.

Historically is was also a part of Poland. Oh wait, it as also historically a part of the Mongol empire, as was Moscow. This nostalgia for past empires leads to war. What is important today is that the Ukrainians are a separate people from the Russians. Historical imperial Russian rule does not justify Russia trying to reimpose its rule today. The way to peace is for the Russians to fully accept Ukrainian independence.

Now, French, Polish, Baltic and Romanians IN UNIFORM are in country. They are filling in to stem a beginning rout. Check the beginning of the Korean nightmare. It’s the same deal. As I said, the West’s penultimate double down.

Speaking of NATO, from another of its member nations...

Forged signatures would not invalidate candidacy The National Electoral Commission's rulings on the validity of presidential candidacies are final, even if signature forgery is discovered.

Funny this. Must have touched a nerve from someone on this forum.
Fact is. These pigs cheering for this war are going the experience flag covered coffins returning from a war they cheered for and desired.
There is a site on YouTube called timer tribun. It shows drones being flown directly into Ukrainian bunkers. It shows those young men being blown to hell for some pigs demented desire to kill, so they can increase their wealth.
