With permission requested from Mods: a re-post with new commentary - yes, an American brigade should be forward posted in Poland

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

We do need 'forward' posted units in nations bordering Russia, and not just in Poland.

Findland and Sweden and the Baltic Republics should request American posts in their countries.

They would serve as 'tripwires' in a Russian invasion comes, engaging American troops that would bring US and NATO to that nation's defense.

It will be necessary to post American units in Ukraine as well before long.

[Thank you, Litwin] Army spokesperson Col. Roger Cabiness II told Army Times, however, that “forward basing of an ABCT is not a simple task.” Doing so would require diplomatic and legislative approvals both at home and abroad.

The report’s authors also recommended that the Air Force station an additional F-16 squadron in Germany; increase anti-submarine warfare capability and air defense forces; bolster stockpiles of prepositioned equipment and ammunition; and continue modernization, cyber, space and security cooperation efforts

Army should permanently station armor brigade in Poland, report argues​

The Center for Strategic and International Studies said the Army should reduce its Europe rotations in favor of permanent bases.

Only if Ukeland sends them "comfort women", the Poles and 82nd got the first batch.

Let those countries pay the USA for the security provided. The USA runs on a deficit.
Do not raise my taxes to pay for this.

Spend spend spend money on DEFENSE. Look at the chart. Don't help the vet's or the homeless.
Give the WAR MACHINE all the $$ it can spend. Make them defense contractors RICH.

Sergeant Bill makes a valid point. Another point to factor is that battles would be fought near Cracow and not Philadelphia.

Exactly. Look above I updated my post. The USA spends almost 4 times the $$ than the closest country on Defense.

I should say I could see us helping other countries that have our same basic bill of rights,,,

this protecting countries that dont allow their own people basic rights is a no go for anything needing money or american lives

Don't try to sound so silly writing such things.

I was fourteen the first time I was a target of a rival gang.

That was far, far different than in the military and getting shot at.

And you know it.

We need them on our Southern Border.

Not to worry France says they gonna send troops to Ukraine start WWIII and we will all be glowing soon.

I am tired of the USA being the worlds police man. We have no money for this. It is cheaper to rent. Provide it as a service.

No shit?
These elected officials would rather BANKRUPT this country paying to protect other countries borders rather than securing the US border.

No more subsidizing Eurotrash Socialism by paying for the welfare queens defense.

Shows they dont give a damn about us.

Not our circus, not our monkeys. We have our own invasion to deal with, and that's not a "potential" invasion.

We just need to better fund Ukraine with the arms they need. Letting them continue to degrade the Russian military is the best money we can spend.

The Biden admin made a mistake waiting to long to get into the game. They've been playing catch up ever since.

Remember. Ukraine gave up it's nuclear capability as a deal after the collapse of the Soviet Union. I say give them the same capability they had before.

That will end any thoughts from Vladimir using the nuclear option. In the meantime we continue giving them long range missile and drone capability to hit deep inside Russia. It's about time the Russian population start feeling effects of Putins war crimes.
