Because I’m a soldier. Europe doesn’t have many combat troops ready to go to war. They’ve relied on America to protect them. And because of DEI, these troops won’t be much of a fighting force when they meet the Russian meat grinder. DEI has no place in the military. They’re supposed to be warriors!
LOL I said that. Active troops are what counts. It takes a long time to train troops to be battle ready. And Europe is going to hastily learn this. America isn’t going to save your arses, until you all give some blood up and have troops coming home injured and dead. It’s time that Europe remembers what war is, too many generations in between have forgotten.
That’s correct, and they’re the active brigades available. I’m a soldier, it takes months to have troops ready for combat, at a minimum 6 months of training. Just because one has a relatively large military means squat. What counts is how many can go to war immediately.
Why would Russia want to invade? If NATO stays out of adjoining countries they won’t need to. Imagine if Russia or the Chinese put troops in Mexico or Canada, what do you think the US would do? Get a damn clue, you’re extremely naive.
I don’t agree with that number.
EU Combat Troop Numbers The European Union has established EU Battlegroups, which consist of battalion-sized forces reinforced with combat support elements, typically comprising 1,500 troops each. As of 2023, eighteen battlegroups were operational, with two being ready for deployment at any given time. Additionally, a permanent European Union Rapid Deployment Capacity (EU RDC) consisting of up to 5,000 troops (the size of a brigade) is to be operational by 2025. These forces are under the direct control of the Council of the European Union. 🌐 en.wikipedia.org Defence forces of the European Union - Wikipedia 🌐 en.wikipedia.org EU Battlegroup - Wikipedia 🌐 boell.de The never-ending debate of the European Army and why it is unhelpful | Heinrich Böll Stiftung 🌐 en.wikipedia.org United States military deployments - Wikipedia 🌐 en.wikipedia.org European army - Wikipedia 🌐 eeas.europa.eu EU Battlegroups |
OK, do you math at any one time 2 battlegroups are ready to go, that’s 27,000 and not all combat troops. LOL
I’m not moving the goalposts. I forget that I’m talking to civilians. It takes more soldiers in the rear to support soldiers in the front. So the % of combat troops is the tip of the spear. The total number of troops means little, it’s the number of troops that are the tip of the spear. The EU has little in combat capacity, and most of the equipment has been destroyed in Ukraine. So what are they going to fight with?
Son/kid That’s not all combat troops. I’m referring to boots on the ground, combat troops. How many rear soldiers do you think it takes to support 100 k soldiers? I bet you have no Fricken clue … Look deeper.
Have you been to Russia recently? Didn’t think so. The most corrupt country in Europe is … Yup Ukraine.
Uh no. I’ve done my research, now do some yourself. Learn to fish grasshopper.
The EU doesn’t have the troops to put in Ukraine. At the best, they can muster a little over 100k troops. A lot of peope don’t realize that the EU is demilitarized, pretty much. They wouldn’t do very well against a peer military. lol
What evidence do you have to prove that Russia broke 2 peace agreements? If you’re referring to Minsk 1 and 2 that wasn’t Russia who broke them. It was France and Germany, both leaders of those countries at the time, are on record indicating that The West never intended to honour those agreements. It’s hard to find the evidence in Western media as it’s been scrubbed (this alone should alert folks) but I found a reference in Ukrainian Pravada via Yahoo: https://www.yahoo.com/news/putin-disappointed-merkels-words-minsk-140859136.html
That’ll never happen, NATO is the USA. Europe doesn’t have the military to anything without the US. Sorry, but that’s the reality of the situation. Face it, Ukraine is finished, the Banderites destroyed what was a great country.
Zelensky should be kicked out of his leadership role. Ukraine needs elections because an unelected leader cannot agree to any terms, simply because he doesn’t represent the will of most Ukrainians. Bear in mind, he was elected on a platform of peace and immediately went to war.
I see many upvotes — You do realize this is because of Trump’s DOGE …
Tuta is a front for a western intelligence agency from what I understand. Came out in an espionage trial in Canada recently. It was in the news.
@[email protected] That’s my experience too, a bit of a lag — I can live with that.
LMAO sure.
