Poland and the United States will announce next week the deployment of
U.S. ground forces to Poland as part of an expansion of NATO presence in Central and Eastern Europe in response to events in Ukraine. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2014/04/18/u-s-ground-troops-going-to-poland-defense-minister-says/ |

Here we go..... Couldn't go pulling out of Afghanistan without a plan for the future.

I'm so glad we have such strong leadership in the right places.
|
|
Are we to be joined by a British Army of the Vistula and other Western company, or is America the only nation in NATO?

European countries that have cut back on defense spending need to reverse the trends. View Quote ^^^ The most important thing that needs to happen. That said. What's the situation in Belarus? |
|
|
gee, you think Obie wishes he'd had that missile defense shield in place he denied Poland 4 years ago..
|
|
Everyone said if I voted for Romney we would always be at war, they were right.
|
|
It'd be very funny if there was suddenly a revolution in Belarus to dispose Lukashenko...

If you look at the Order of Battle in Janes or STRATFOR yu will see that the polish armed forces are pretty much a match for the current Russian forces by themselves. Putin knows that but too many Americans equate the current Russian military with the old Soviet Union. Putin has used bluff and bullshit as well as any dictator in the past.

If missiles start getting lobbed across the Atlantic, we have bigger issues. Better dig out all my old Deathlands books to learn how to survive the apocalypse. |

Defending Poland from the east has worked out so well in the past.

Those lucky SOBs. Yeah. West Germany was fun times. Bet Poland would rock. The good old days are an ancient memory now. We'll be locked down as bad as we ever were in Saudi, Iraq, or the 'stan. The default reaction by our "leadership" for any location that might end up being fun is to implement curfew, ban drinking, and suck the fun right out of the place. |

You gotta wonder, what's Barry's and Putin's endgame........ Whatever it is, I sure won't be liking it. |

Another trip-wire, similar to South Korea. We're extending our presence while we are drawing-down our military forces.
This will not end well for us. |

|
|
Good.
If we're not willing to do this then we have no business being in NATO.

Against a 2013 Russian military? My money is on NATO. Your money? More like you're betting your life. The Russians didn't exactly have the easiest time subduing Georgians and walked into Crimea unopposed. They haven't faced a peer force in 70 years whereas the US has wiped the floor with every Russian-style conventional military it's met. |

Are we to be joined by a British Army of the Vistula and other Western company, or is America the only nation in NATO? pretty much this... Order of Battle initially would be most of the following. U. S. Marine Battalion Landing Team building quickly to a Brigade sized unit. U S Army S F, Ranger Bat. Armor Heavy Brigade, lots of air support. French Foreign Legion Bat +, Brit mixed Brigade probably Green Jackets, Scotts Borderers, Commando Bat. At least 30 of the latest tanks. German reinforced Panzer Brigade. Lots of aircraft. There are already bets among A F Squadrons on a kill count. NATO units will have a great many folks with real combat experience, Russia doesn't. |

"puts tin foil hat on"
