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.

Re: "They are on the innocent massacred citizen side in Gaza."

Since Hamas is supported by more than 90% of Gaza voters, I am thinking there are not many innocent citizens to kill in Gaza.

Were the Germans who elected Adolph Hitler Chancellor innocent citizens?

In fact, they were not even a majority.

“At this point, what difference does it make?”


That’s funny, coming from people who constantly go on about the “lessons of history” regarding Neville Chamberlain.

So for the advocates of NATO troops in Ukraine, what are the “lessons of history” from the July Crisis ?

"You jump around from being ‘facetious’ to being snarky to being just a jerk. So why should I take anything you write seriously?"

So asking someone a question, then offering the question a second time after their denial that there was even a question asked, brings us to you calling me a jerk? And even now, in your third response to me, you've ignored the original question claiming some BS excuse. Okay, I get it. Like a good little backer of Biden's plan to bankrupt this country, fighting another proxy war with Russia in a country 5,000 miles away, and the size of Texas, you don't want to answer the question.

We’re encroaching on Russia while Russia backed the US anti fracking protests and communists and Marxists are destroying our nation.

Why set up shop in Mexico when one can set up shop in New York City?

Ask an advocate of having NATO troops in Ukraine. I am not pushing that.

You havent asked a question that doesnt already pre suppose you own answer. I am not going to argue with someone who assumes beforehand my positions and asks me to defend positions I havent taken. That would be a waste of time. You have a position, state it. Dont presume mine. You do that in every post.

Our CIA set this in motion years ago by overthrowing the Ukraine and installing their NATO puppets.

Still pushing that lie? Typical Soviet style propaganda. The Ukrainian government was elected by the people in two separate elections, not installed by the CIA.

Re: "Adolf Hitler was not elected."

True - just trying to keep the issue simple.

The Nazi Party elected the most seats in the Reichstag in 1933.

By tradition, the Party with the most seats nominated the Chancellor.

Hitler was the leader of the Nazi Party.

Hitler was appointed Chancellor by German President Hindenburg.

Serbia was attacked by Nato in 1999.
Democrat tool Wesley Clark wanted to fight Russia then.
These posters are hold out oldsters from the cold war era.

“You think WW1 was worth it over Serbia ?”

Hitler won referendums giving him dictatorial power by very large margins.

It makes sense that they idolize Churchill.

Churchill wanted to go to war with Germany and Austria as soon as the July Crisis started. He didn’t care what the reason was, as long a there was war.

Just like the NeoCons, and Russia.

Start looking at my posting history before you start slinging mud. Abandoning countries to Russian aggression has never been a conservative principle and there are plenty of conservatives who support Ukraine.

Whats the obsession with the “July Crisis”?

Military lessons arent all that different in underlying principles from one century to the next. Weakness invites challenge. Strength deters aggression. War is an extension of politics, and politicians come in all flavors.

If you can avoid war through solid deterrence, you should. If war comes to you, you cant negotiate with tyrants.
