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.

Start looking at who orchestrated this fiasco known as Ukraine and my assessment stands.

Please clarify. The present war in Ukraine or the existence of Ukraine as a nation?

Are you even an American ? Plenty of EuroWankers here supporting PedoJoe and Hillary, just asking because you fit the profile.

” Whats the obsession with the “July Crisis”? “


The “obsession” with the July crisis is that a border conflict in the Balkans was escalated into a continent-wide war that killed millions, destroyed three Empires, allowed for the establishment of the world’s first Communist State, and set up for an even larger war twenty years later.

And many of the diplomats in the July Crisis used the arguments of “confronting aggression” etc.

When the sensible answer was that who rules in Belgrade was not worth the destruction of the continent of Europe.

Similarly, who rules in the Donbass, or who rules in Riga is not worth dragging North America into YET ANOTHER European war.

Canada out of NATO NOW !

Why would you blame your master? You’d be out of a job.

It seems to me that the U.S. is happy to fund anything that depletes Russia’s arsenal and troop level.
**********************************************
And China is happy that we deplete our arsenal and bankrupt ourselves to deplete Russia’s arsenal. Taiwan and much of Asia is not so happy.

I forgot to respond to this previous question of yours: "Are you suggesting that all the money spent fighting the communist Soviet expansion of the 50’s and 60’s through to the fall of the Berlin Wall and collapse of the USSR was wasted?"

While we were fighting the commies overseas, we took our eye off the ball at home, and domestic communism blossomed, and has flourished here ever since. So how did spending all that money in proxy wars with Russia and China over the past 71 years, stop this country from becoming a commie $hithole? Please explain.

The West supposedly spent all that money to win the Cold War, but it was Russia that became Christian, and the West which became communist.

So what does the West “losing” the Cod War look like ?

Excellent comment, but Magnum44 likely won't respond, or will attack you for making that very valid point.

Look at my posting history, which goes back to 2005, and ask that question again. I am not supporting either Biden or Hillary. I am supporting the Ukrainian people against Russian aggression. There are plenty of conservatives who do the same. These personal attacks come straight out of Alinsky's playbook. Avoid the issues and attack the person. A popular tactic with the pro-Russian crowd. But what else can they do when the truth is not on their side?

Aren't you the one who replied at #7 to ClearCase_guy, feeling compelled to correct his post at #3 on the NATO thread?

Do you really not hear yourself? I blame NATO Russia and its stupid policy of expansion. Fixed it.

They know the West is finished, so they want one last war against Russia before Western Global dominance totally collapses.

In a way it makes sense that they idolize Churchill. Since Churchill was willing to sacrifice the future of Britain for one last war against Germany.

I blame those awful, Poles, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians! How dare they not want to live another 60 years under Moscow’s thumb? How dare they seek a security alliance that might stop that?

Your picture of the “win” is from the 1980’s.

Your pictures of the loss is from current day.

We don’t live in the 1980’s. We live in 2024 now, and the loss is what we got..

I explained. You still speak English, not German, not Russian, not Chinese. So you still have the freedom and opportunity to fight aggression remains a blessing. Its up to you to fight the enemy within as well as from outside.

You did not seem to comprehend my reply so I hope this further clarifies.

If you think that life was intended to come at no cost, thats naive and not even Biblical. We fight evil every day and evil wont go away until the judgement comes. You seem to argue that we have become the evil. Well, define the evil 'we' and go after that. Blaming those of us who are fighting it for not having solved it is annoying.

England and the allies won. So your comment makes little sense, except that the allies did sacrifice to fight and defeat the evil of that day.

I will go further and state that those that followed Churchill’s lead remain the greatest generation.
