Just when it seemed Russia was going to take over Europe without opposition...

Royal Navy ships, British Army troops and Royal Air Force fighters have been deployed in eastern Europe to bolster NATO’s eastern front, according to a statement from the UK’s Ministry of Defence on Saturday.
“HMS Trent is in the eastern Mediterranean, conducting NATO exercises with Merlin Helicopters and RAF P8 Poseidon Maritime Patrol Aircraft,” the statement said. HMS Diamond, a destroyer, will join from Portsmouth.
Tanks and armored vehicles “have arrived in Estonia from Germany, with further equipment and around 1000 troops arriving over the coming days,” the ministry added.
The statement added that Typhoon fighter jets “flying from bases in Cyprus and the UK are now patrolling NATO airspace over Romania and Poland alongside NATO allies with Voyager air-to-air refueling aircraft in support.”
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said: “Our armed forces are once again being called upon in the service of our Nation and I salute the bravery and sense of duty shared by all our personnel who have been deployed to support NATO."
“Alongside our NATO Allies, these deployments constitute a credible deterrent to stop Russian aggression threatening the territorial sovereignty of member states,” Wallace added.

I thought this was going to be about the Dem's chances in November.
 
Putin never had any intention of invading any other European countries.
That's obviously not what Europe and NATO believe.
NATO is embracing 'Proactive', seeing as how 'Reactive' has failed in Ukraine...donations and military supplies arriving far too late.
The Royal Air Force is helping patrol the skies over Poland and Romania...

God Save The Queen!

They would likely improve if Biden were to send warships and warplanes to help NATO defend Europe.

The United States was the largest importer and the third largest exporter in the world in 2020. In 2021, the United States was the largest partner for EU exports of goods (18.3 %) and the second largest partner for EU imports of goods (11.0 %).

The top export categories to the EU included aircraft, machinery, pharmaceuticals, optic and medical instruments, and electrical machinery. The United States also exported more than $11.5 billion in agricultural products to Europe in 2016.
