The US Military (Active, Guard and Reserve) have sent units to Europe since 2020. One of the many exercises is called Defender. It is a mini version of the REFORGER (Return to Forces Germany) from 1969-1993.
Defender 2022 is having its final planning conferences about now. I believe NATO should work together and get it going, NOW!
Russia has two Army Corps (About 6 Divisions) next to the Ukraine Border.
NATO has a QRF/quick reaction force made up of 40K soldiers from all over NATO but I believe we should lead by example instead of leading by the rear as we have since Biden was sworn in. President Biden gave
green light to the Nordsteam 2 pipeline so
Russia will soon be able to pay for the expensive cost of this planned invasion thanks to our POTUS.

Last week, Democrats used the 'racist' filibuster to stop Senator Ted Cruz and 54 Senators from passing the motion to tell POTUS Biden to kill the pipeline deal. Just imagine how angry Democrats would have been if President Trump approved the pipeline in 2020? He would be accused of 'Russian Collusion'. Much to my dismay, POTUS Biden approves what former PresidentTrump stopped and nobody in the media and no Democrats care that POTUS Biden is our America Last President. I am not surprised they won't impeach him for that Nordsteam 2 giveaway alone. Animal Farm Democrats. POTUS Trump scolded NATO for not putting 2% toward defense and some actually listened and found the money. Most of the former Warsaw pact NATO members also put up 2% of GDP towards defense. President Biden came in last year and said 'America's Back' and now when times are tough, Biden gives in to Puntin with a pipeline and his party stops Republicans and some smart Democrats from passing a bill with an override. Biden puts America Last now. Why won't anybody accuse POTUS Biden of Russian Collusion?

The iron Curtain was rolled up and now is being shook out for use again. Perhaps we should shut down support for that pipeline and renew our pipeline's support.

Unfortunately, are you at military the trying to Virtue signal instead of being patriotic. Nothing wrong with lgbtq in the military but that was their main emphasis for the recruiting video instead of patriotism. Look at the Russian comparison. The whole point of marketing is a target the largest audience possible not just a small subset to recruit.

My friend LTC (Join to see) i would recommend officially notifying Vladimir Putin if the Russians would not back off from Ukraine border, we would push forward with the "Defender 2022 exercise/partial mobilization."

I think this "crisis" is a biden creation so he can "save" Ukraine from Putin so he can get the Nobel Peace Prize. That's more than obama did.

Maybe it is under way already? At least three transports left in three days time maybe a week to 10 days ago, so troops and/or equipment were being transported somewhere.

If we are serious about defending Ukraine, I don’t think we need to send the B Team.

MAJ Ken Landgren the B team needs the training. Many and the B team are prior service members. Some of them may have combat experience. The bravo team as a mixture of active, reserve and Guard soldiers. The exercise was planned anyway but now it's real world. We wouldn't put any additional soldiers in Ukraine. We already have a couple hundred there with Canadiens training the ukrainians away from the fighting.

Here is something I just found out.

MAJ Ken Landgren President Biden already laid his cards out on the table a few months ago and he walked away from Afghanistan with disgrace. Vladimir Putin was basically telling NATO not to put forces in former Warsaw Pact countries like Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and others that joined NATO. He is trying to bully NATO and President Biden is being Mister Rogers and gave him the Nord stream 2 pipeline. We have lost all credibility. This is President Biden's Darkest Hour.

OK, explain to me why 1. What happens in the Ukraine is of strategic interest to the US? 2. Why do we want to continue to expand NATO around Russia after consistantly promising that we wouldn't do it. 3. Of even better, why does NATO still exist after the fall of the Soviet Union? 4. Why we should go to war with one of the remaining large nuclear powers over the Ukraine?
Frankly, my bet is that Russia doesn't invade. Why bother? They are in effective control of the Donbass, have already annexed the Crimea (anyone that thought they would let Sebastopol, home of the Black Sea Fleet, go to a non Russian country isn't very smart). Why bother with the rest of the country which is now another failed nation.
