U.S. troops being deployed to Eastern Europe will reinforce NATO allies and Ukraine

The Pentagon stresses the nearly 3,000 U.S. forces deploying to Eastern Europe will not be going to Ukraine. Instead, they will focus on helping NATO allies counter growing Russian threats. Retired Colonel Mark Cancian, a senior adviser with the CSIS international security program, joined CBS News to discuss the latest developments.

I'm sure this "expert" isn't being paid at all to out for these specific "opinions"

130k+ Russian troops with support and increasing. We send 3k troops to support the pittance of NATO forces in the region. Proportional?! I think not. Putin is inciting and laughing.

"WAR is a Racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives." - USMC Major General Smedley Butler (1935)

Sensationalism - (especially in journalism) the use of exciting or shocking stories or language at the expense of accuracy, in order to provoke public interest or excitement.

Russia takes first action and that action is deployment of 170, 000+ troops to the front door of Ukraine. US responds by deploying only 3, 000 troops hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away from that same border. Who do you think is the aggressor?? FFS common sense not so common anymore huh?

Our soldiers were never supposed to be used as nato soldiers

[donthomason]

[donthomason]

Why don't you just ask nato they're located in New York City

I really wish political leaders would stop flexing there muscles!! It's like 2 men fighting over a pretty Ukrainian woman . War & violence settles nothing just creates more destruction & more enemy's, haven't we learned yet as a civilization that talking is the only truly successful way to settle a dispute!!!

[heinedenmark]

Most of these soldiers comes from Ford Bragg. Not saying more..

How weak does the West look when they cannot use military force. 🤔 There cannot be European peace without Russia. Europeans understand this point. And the analyst in the segment called Russia expansionist, but sorry America are not? If the West knows how they are viewed by the rest of the world, they would really change their tune. At the moment most people agree that Russia has genuine concerns which Europe should address not America.

[donthomason]

Quit your lying why don't you just come out and say we're gonna have troops in Russia and we're gonna have troops in Africa

[bnbtoys]

This is all for nothing! What a waste of tax dollars!

Okay, whatever you say, Manips. Results have always talked louder than your written texts.
