Hundreds of 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) soldiers are gearing up to deploy to Europe as Russian troops have amassed on Ukraine's borders, positioned for a potential invasion. The soldiers from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, are expected to deploy soon and will include a mix of support personnel and ground combat units, a spokesperson told Military.com. It is unclear which European countries these troops will deploy to, but mobilizations of U.S. combat troops to Europe have been concentrated in Poland and Romania, with some support personnel sent to Germany. In total, roughly 6,000 U.S. soldiers are expected to be in place

Six thousand US troops someplace in Europe will deter one hundred and fifty thousand Russian troops!

To deter Russia from ending their drills?
To change the media narrative, like bye.dims tried to do by vaporizing those 9 children?
Now that the pandemic can’t be milked any more they need a new crisis (inflation is not what they had in mind- they need a new crisis caused by Trump aka Vladimir Putin).
I hope this isn’t a crisis because I don’t believe a word from bi.den psakoryisis or the lamestream media. They are clowns trying to distract from the sick deeds of their masters.

6,000 troops to deter Russia. Russia has over 100,000 armed, supplied, and heavily equipped soldiers on the border. They can move over a million more in, in a matter of days, (handy for them right there). Anyone who thinks 6K of our light infantry can deter that has seen way too many movies. This is theater. "Russia with over a thousand tanks on the border and its entire Air Force for support didn't invade because they were SO AFRAID of Biden and 6K soldiers with small arms weapons!" It would be too ridiculous to be a move plot.

How about a short trip to our southern border?

Oh thankfully we have adults in the room now like Uncle Joe who sent a handful of troops -after- the Russians started going home from training exercises.
Way to stand up to those bullies, Joe! Without your deterrent troops sent after it was clear you were full of it all along there would have been ww3 for sure over a place with zero strategic value to everyone involved.
No one believes you, Joe. Not even your own party and biased media.

Any of you comparing troop and equipment numbers and types are entirely missing the point. When the US shows up and starts lobbing truth bombs about Intersectionality, BIPOC, Trannys, & Midget rights, you can rest assured those godless Ruskies don't stand a chance.

I cannot avoid being cynical about this situation. There was no way in hell I wanted our women and men in uniform to be involved in yet another war. If and when we can trust our leaders again, then we can talk about "necessary wars." If we had good leadership, we wouldn't be in this position to start with.
Why are we in debt to China? Why are we buying petroleum supplies from Russia? Why are we not goods and energy independent? Why are we not trading only with freedom-loving, human rights-respecting nations?

This deployment is for Biden’s State of Disunion speech in 2 weeks in which he will proclaim a decisive victory over Russia. Expect to hear “I took action to stop Russia, something my predecessor would not do for fear of offending Putin”. Will allow the 25 or so Democrats permitted to attend to give Biden a standing ovation for his mock bravado. Dems will be joined by Romney, Cheney and Adam Kinzinger(sp?), with Adam crying for the camera.

As we said in Operation Desert Shield - 82nd and 101st are speed bumps. We haven't been serious about defending Europe since the early 90's. No more heavy armor units, prepositioned stocks of weapons/equipment sets, and no REFORGER (Return of Forces to Germany) exercises. These deployments are like paper masks - Biden's Theatrics (all show, and NO GO) - and Putin knows it.

Anybody in intelligence (and I use the term loosely) tell them the Russians are going home?

Russia pulls Biden's chain. Getting him to send troops to Europe for more ruin of America, paying for a supply line of 10,000 miles, while Russia's supply line is only a few miles. Russia can take over Ukraine anytime with their secret police adding their nuclear poison pills to the tea of anyone they oppose.

Who knows, at this point if behind the scenes, that Russia and Ukraine have not mutually agreed to enough of Putin’s demands to make a military action unnecessary?
One thing is for sure, if no military action takes place before March 1, Biden will attempt to take credit, claiming that he caused Russia to back down on their planned military invasion, when he reads off the State of the Union speech that was prepared for him and his trusty teleprompter. You can safely bet on that!

"101st Airborne Soldiers Head to Europe as US Amasses 6,000 Troops to Deter Russia" - somehow 6,000 just doesn't seem to overwhelm 130,000 or maybe that's diapers new math and he knows something about troop strength and deterrence that we don't

You have 6,000 American troops, who have been indoctrinated with "wokeness" and are too scared to do anything out of offending someone. They have been trained in feminist studies, how not of offend homosexuals, and how never to offend any minority group. All wasted time when they should have been learning to fight and kill and win.
Meanwhile you have over 100,000 tough and macho men on the Russian side who could care less if they offend anyone. They were trained to fight, kill, and die if necessary. The Russian military has never been the best trained, but they make up for it in massive numbers. And the training they have gotten is sadly better than what US troops are getting today (since they are wasting so much valuable training time on the PC garbage).

When the dust settles it will be told that this is a regularly scheduled training deployment. But why state that now when fear porn clicks so much better?

They'd do better serving on the borders of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.

Watch a few T2T ads. Don't risk that (or worse) so this traitor can play his money games.
