Biden Issues Order To Send 3,000 U.S Reserve Troops To Europe
WASHINGTON DC (WSAU) - The Pentagon will be able to call up to 3,000 military reservists for deployment to Eur...
Man, the replies are shilled as hell. There's a war of aggresion in Europe, and nobody can afford to be a bystander. We have paid bitterly for inaction against dictators in the past, and we must not let history repeat itself. No amount of fake handwringing or nuclear sabre rattling will change the fact that Ukraine is a free and sovereign nation, and that Russia has no right to have any territorial pretensions towards it. As for the paid trolls and contrarians - history will not remember you kindly.
The less we push against Russia now the more aggressive it will become in the future. Playing nice has led the world to a global crisis and Ukraine to a bloodshed filled with war crimes.
Russia's government is evil and there's no middle ground between good and evil that isn't evil.
The less we push against Russia now the more aggressive it will become in the future.
There's this certain line of argument that says that the best thing to do for peace is to let Ukraine fall, or at least force them to cede occupied territory. That thinking is so ignorant of history. When a country gets expansionist and the response is timid, it just means that they're going to continue later.
I can't believe how many tankies I had to scroll past to find a sane comment.
The tankies are in your walls.
The troll farms are very happy with the fediverse movement. It's much much easier to exploit and deceive compared to big regulated tech companies. The neckbeards behind Lemmy are also typical 'marketplace of ideas' naïve idiots, making it that much easier for groups to spread their misinformation unopposed.
So by your logic the US should directly commit troops and provoke a declaration of war from Russia? You do realize that would bring all of NATO (nuclear powerful) into a hot war with Russia (also nuclear powerful) over a few regions they can't seem to hold in Ukraine?
Sorry, that's crazy.
You're right, Ukraine is a sovereign nation. They have every right to defend themselves and I am in no way defending Russia's invasion. That being said, other sovereign nations should not be expected to put their people's lives on the line so Ukraine can win in their conflict with Russia.
Everyone seems so concerned with the appeasement aspect of trying to contain Hitler in WW2 they forget the lessons of WW1 bringing the world into a pointless bloody and destructive war through alliances after the assassination of an archduke.
Not to mention the situation today is vastly different than the eve of WW2. Literally the only similarity is a territorial conflict which is true of the majority of the worlds conflicts. Let's compare
While Germany was invading the sudatenland, Chamberlain persued a policy of appeasement, trying to befriend Hitler. During Russia's invasion of Ukraine there was almost universal opposition with countries lending indirect aid to Ukraine instead of just standing by.
Part of German expansion was the systematic stripping and denial of personhood and rights to anyone deemed undesirable creating a crisis where refugees could not leave without proper papers they could never get. Compared with today where Ukrainian refugees get to use the fast pass lane to enter the US through Mexico.
Most importantly, Germany never developed the nuke. They tried, but didn't get there before the end of the war. There was zero nuclear consideration to worry about. Compared to Russia today which is a nuclear powerhouse on par with the US.
History will only remember if we don't nuke ourselves out of existence because of this. Too many people alive today don't know the fear of mutually assured destruction. Never thought that old cold war vestage actually served a useful purpose in the minds of the people.
We have paid bitterly for inaction against dictators in the past
We have paid, and are paying, for inaction against this particular dictator. Wars of expansion like this have to be met with defense from the entire global community. We tried appeasement, and they showed us that appeasement will be treated as weakness and a sign to continue expansion.
A free and sovereign nation owned by Blackrock.
I do not like the direction this is going.
Is that a quote from Putin?
And you like how this is escalating dangerously? What arms manufacturer do you own or are you working at the Pentagon?
3k sounds like a detachment of instructors. Good support.
3000 troops of Biden
The 6,000 Hands of Dr. B.
Just openly declare war on Russia already! I would love to see US troops get slaughtered in Ukraine.
this does not sound good
It's like an extra 4% buildup, doesn't sound extreme.
yeah, but still, it's the US doing this
after offering to give Ukraine fucking cluster bombs (and after decades of the US doing the same warcrime shit during every invasion they do), I have zero confidence that they're not going to make the conflict so much worse
It's OK guys, America isn't provoking a war or anything like that.
Just tell, has a war EVER started because America was sending troops and building military bases where they shouldn't?
Provoking war with whom. Russia is already at war with Ukraine lmao. Maybe dont start a war if you dont want war provoking bla bla
A guy walks into my house and stabs my wife. He starts eating the food out of my refrigerator. I don't call the police, because I wouldn't want to provoke him.
Fuck entirely off shill.
Taiwan #1
it kind of tends to be a pattern in retrospect
US sends troops to other country saying that they're doing it for good and benevolent reasons -> a decade later we find out that they did war crimes there
"where they shouldn't" it's not like they land in Germany and demand to build a fucking base. It's a mutual contract between the two nations dumb ass
You say that but if China established some "mutual contracts" with Cuba or Canada and started placing thousands of troops there and even moving nukes near the US, you guys would start an all out war.
This is exactly what you do if you want to give Russia a reason to attack NATO.
If they didn't attack non-threats, then they wouldn't have attacked Ukraine.
Have they ever waited for a reason?
Russia is getting it's ass kicked by NATO toys delivered via slow roll. They really aren't stupid enough to actually attack NATO.
Oh I completely agree... But you can be the biggest baddest dude on the planet... Backing a honey badger into the corner isn't a good idea.
I doubt Russia could ever "win". But it can sure fuck shit up on it's way out. And if it feels that NATO is a threat, then that might be the direction the munitions go. I'd rather not see any war at all. I just simply don't see what 3000 more soldiers will accomplish EXCEPT to act as a threat to Russia, which is just shoving them further into a corner.
Sending 3000 reservists to Europe?
Shit, I'm going there on vacation in a few weeks, that's definitely provocative.
I wish they'd try something, they need to learn a lesson about screwing around in Europe.
Surprised russia sending troops "on vacation" to Crimea wasn't a reason for nato to bomb half of Russia to shit.
I'm pro Russia in this war and I want Russia to attack NATO. Hopefully cucktin will get deposed and a proper hawk will take his place.
Congrats. I hope you live in a country that espouses the values that you preach here...
But just so you know... Every single country with those values live significantly below the typical western country.
Also, Russia's performance against Ukraine alone already has proven that Russia cannot win a war against just about any other country on this planet. Forget the aggregation of the top countries on the planet.
Nukes or not... Russia can't "win" against Nato. The only question becomes how much damage could Russia do before it gives up. And I would even suggest that Nuclear response is likely off the table for Russia, there's serious concerns that Russian nukes haven't been maintained and thus no longer viable.
I’m overjoyed then.
Yes, more senseless war! Ukraine is in the right to protect their territory. But outright wishing for senseless war is stupid as hell.
deranged comment
I'm guessing you are in voluntary reserves then, right? Because to advocate for sending others to die in a needless war, when you yourself aren't volunteering to do exactly that, is hypocritical and frankly ghoulish.
Nuclear Armageddon is good actually!
