Of course NATO is planning to use US troops for the initial rapid deployment. There aren’t many nations with significant troops, and most of them aren’t deployable in a hurry.

The British Army, for example, has a total manpower of 80,000. They might be able to put 20,000 in Ukraine, but they’d have a hard time getting more than 3-5000 in a hurry.

The French Army numbers around 118,000. The German around 63,000.

The US Army has 450,000 active duty personnel. And the US, and only the US, has the logistic capacity to move any significant number and support them once they arrive.

More Americans dead for Eurotrash. Washington and Jefferson warned us about Europe 220 years ago. Half the people on the his board would have voted for Adams and supported Hamilton.

Nato is a ticking time bomb. It should be dissolved before it goes off and brings the whole world down.
