U.S. Colonel Says Troops Watching Outside Ukraine 'Ready if the Call Comes
BY FATMA KHALED ON 12/22/22 AT 11:34 AM EST
 
American troops in the 101st Airborne Division positioned near Ukraine are prepared to respond if the war with Russia reaches allied territory, U.S. Army Colonel Ed Matthaidess recently said.

The troops are positioned in a way that allows their artillery to be within easy range of Ukraine. The proximity also allows members of the division to gather intelligence and monitor fighters around the Black Sea, according to Stars and Stripes, a U.S. military news organization.

Matthaidess said on Monday that troops are "ready if the call comes."

"We are ready for whatever comes our way, and I'm very confident that we will accomplish any mission that's given to us," Major General Joseph P. "J.P." McGee, 101st Airborne Division commander, said recently during an interview at the Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base headquarters in Romania, according to Stars and Stripes.

Russia extends twelve time zones, and the US has A UNIT ready to pounce.  Am I supposed to be impressed by that? :shrug:

Maybe we should send a unit of transgenders to Ukraine. The Putinists will be shaking in their boots.

Nice operational security asshat. Samuel Morse couldn't have telegraphed that any better. Our nation's leadership has become such a bunch of catty little mean girl cheerleaders that we think we can just bully, bait and bravado and our enemies will just cower down in tears.

If we haven't learned from history to not screw with Russia unless you absolutely have to, then hard lessons will be learned again. Proxy wars are one thing, going head-to-head and enflaming all of Russia into a war of resistance might result in a whole bunch of ugly if they lash out in blind anger and go scorched earth.

@Free Vulcan

You ain't just a-woofing! Going up agains the corrupt neo-Soviet leadership is one thing. Hell,it is probably THE most popular activity of the typical Russian citizen. You should hear the jokes they tell to trusted family members and friends.

Going up against "Holy Mother Russia" is a VERY different thing,and one of the worse mistakes you can make. You will unite the people with the party,and be facing a VERY different enemy.
