BREAKING: Poland’s Vice Premier calls for a NATO peacekeeping mission backed by armed forces to protect Ukraine

— Samuel Ramani (@SamRamani2) March 16, 2022

Someone please put a muzzle on this guy, he's absolutely insane.

---

You do realize we (meaning NATO) are already fighting a proxy war against Russia, right?

At some point, I'm fairly convinced one of two things is going to happen:

1. Putin is neutralized...

2. Some things get a bit too close for comfort for some Eastern Bloc NATO countries, and they go in to help Ukraine...

Short of actual boots on the ground, NATO vs Putin is going down right before our very eyes...everything else is just semantics...

We are basically one wet fart away from this thing escalating further, and I'm not sure any of us can do much about it...

Best I can tell so far, if full scale WW3 broke out, I'm seeing Axis Powers being Russia, Belarus, China, Iran, and Syria, at a minimum...

For those that don't know, this is a big freaking deal. We have prepositioned stock located in strategic locations throughout the world. I remember writing about this a week or so ago on this thread. This is the first time that I can remember this stock ever being issued out en mass. I remember drawing a heavy amount when we were in the early phase of standing up the Iraq QRF while in Kuwait back in the early 2010's, but it wasn't the entire fleet. They're prepping for an engagement big time.

---

You are right until the engagement part. This is likely for 3/1 ID ABCT which was activated on IRF. The COA chosen was to use propositioned stock versus airlift. Still a big deal but we aren't moving into defensive fighting positions. OAR still is a rotational deployment meant to build partner capacity and deter Russia.

---

Could someone translate the bolded for the sleep deprived civilian please? I feel like I should know what this means...

Yes, and it's madness. I have absolutely zero interest in starting WW3 over a regional dispute along the Black Sea. How many American lives are you willing to spend to prop up a ridiculously corrupt Eastern European country with little to no strategic value to us?

We are being plunged headlong into war by the most intense propaganda campaign in probably human history and most everyone seems hunky dory about it. Moreover, this lunatic Pollack seems to think that the best way to save Ukraine is to start a world war there.

This.

Keep sending in equipment and providing the Ukes with as much help as needed but don't get Americans killed over this.

Tell Poland if they decide they want to get involved, we'll support the same way we are with Ukraine but we're not sending American troops.

Until Putin attacks a NATO country we need to stay out.

It's terrible but what is happening but we're not the world police, it's not worth getting American boys killed over this.

Ukraine and Russia have made significant progress on a tentative 15-point peace plan including a ceasefire and Russian withdrawal if Kyiv declares neutrality and accepts limits on its armed forces, according to three people involved in the talks.

The proposed deal, which Ukrainian and Russian negotiators discussed in full for the first time on Monday, would involve Kyiv renouncing its ambitions to join Nato and promising not to host foreign military bases or weaponry in exchange for protection from allies such as the US, UK and Turkey, the people said.

The nature of western guarantees for Ukrainian security and their acceptability to Moscow could yet prove to be a big obstacle to any deal, as could the status of Ukrainian territories seized by Russia and its proxies in 2014. A 1994 agreement underpinning Ukrainian security failed to prevent Russian aggression against its neighbour.

Although Moscow and Kyiv both said on Wednesday that they had made progress on the terms of a deal, Ukrainian officials remain sceptical Russian President Vladimir Putin is fully committed to peace and worry that Moscow could be buying time to regroup its forces and resume its offensive.

Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, told the Financial Times that any deal would involve "the troops of the Russian Federation in any case leaving the territory of Ukraine" captured since the invasion began on February 24 namely southern regions along the Azov and Black Seas, as well as territory to the east and north of Kyiv.

Ukraine would maintain its armed forces but would be obliged to stay outside military alliances such as Nato and refrain from hosting foreign military bases on its territory.

An assassination was a spark but the reasons for ww1 were much more vast than a simple political assassination

Ukrainians know that "neutrality" just means Russia will invade again later when their CF of a military gets its **** together. And obviously a security guarantee from the US means absolutely nothing, particularly with a coward like Biden in office.

Russia badly needs a time out to save face and regroup. I think Ukraine is making the right decision to not give that to them.

#Ukraine: Ukrainians are taking vehicle-mounted machine guns (PKT seen) from knocked out armour, adding a stock, trigger & muzzle device to make a infantry weapon. But what's even more interesting is the addition of a Trail 2 LRF thermal optic; extremely dangerous.
