If this is just a show of force, it's a waste of time. Putin ain't skeered.

They've been ordered to rain hellfire upon the enemy.
Social media hellfire, that is. And only if its not too strongly worded. Or culturally insensitive. |

My guess is that they are headed over to show the flag, and claim credit for stopping the Russians from invading western Ukraine.

The decision to go ahead with the Rapid Trident exercise Sept. 16-26 is seen as a sign of the commitment of NATO states to support non-NATO member Ukraine while stopping well short of military intervention in the conflict. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/09/02/us-ukraine-crisis-exercises-idUSKBN0GX23Q20140902 A sad window dressing of "support" to a country that is being actively invaded.

While I would wish for much more, it is still a significant move against Putin. It is not the number of troops but what it represents. It's an escalation that will give Putin pause hopefully. |

Putin has already called Barry's bluff on more than one occasion. I think it will take real no shit action to make Putin pause anything. ETA: Obummer already lost this hand because it has taken him how many months to do anything. This shows Putin that this is nothing but a weak show of force from a weak man that doesn't want to be involved in the situation to begin with but who is trying desperately not to look like an empty sack. It will not deter Putin at all. |

Didn't we have advisors in Georgia under Bush? I'm not confident this will go as planned, especially with the new putters coming out this month.

Actually if anything I think we shouldn't be surprised if Putin gets more aggressive with this news. He knows America doesn't want and can't afford to square off with Russia over the Ukraine so he knows if pushed hard enough we will look for an exit strategy from the situation. If he plays his cards right he can use this to further marginalize America and make us look impotent.

Quote HistoryQuoted: If this is just a show of force, it's a waste of time. Putin ain't skeered. This. Putin wasn't intimidated by Obama's rhetoric after he took over Crimea, he won't be intimidated now. If we moved the VII Corps to Kiev, then maybe Putin would think twice. But he knows the average American doesn't care about the Ukraine, and Obama and the Dems don't have the guts to start a shooting war over it. |
