If only we had an airplane designed to prevent Russian tanks from pushing west into Europe..

I think the bigger point is if only there weren't just 6 NATO members meeting the prescribed budget for military spending they agreed to.

Gotta pay for all that socialized bullshit first.

Yup - but slowly and reluctantly I think they are starting to realize that they actually live in a really nice neighborhood but with some really really bad neighbors...

Did a lot of support missions with the Poles in RC east. They are some ballsy sons of bitches who are not afraid of a fight.

Historically, when the Blitzkrieg, with numerous Panzer Divisions rolled into Poland, the Polish Army went out and battled them... On horseback. Some would call that ballsy.

I wonder if Russia will deploy more troops to protect these Pro-Russia protesters?

(Reuters) - Around 100 pro-Russian protesters stormed the regional government building in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk on Sunday and hung up a Russian flag in defiance of Kiev's pro-European government.

Exclusive: Key General Splits With Obama Over Ukraine

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/04/11/exclusive-key-general-splits-with-obama-over-ukraine.html

"During classified briefings on March 26 and March 27, Gen. Philip Breedlove painted for members of the House Armed Services Committee a bleak picture of Russia’s actions—and warned that the United States was not taking steps it could to help Ukraine better defend itself. On several points—from estimates of Moscow’s troops to intelligence-sharing with Russia’s likely adversaries—Breedlove’s briefing directly contradicted the message coming from other branches of the Obama administration."

Edited: Added a couple of images of the gunmen and another link.
