"Operation Atlantic Resolve"; I'm taking that to mean that eventually, Jim Crow Joe's gonna be shipping off Amerikan boys and girls to the brand new Sandpit™ location in Ukraine.

Ya that was my question. Wtf is Operation Atlantic Resolve???

[Update]
Found it I think. It's Amerikkkan bravado shit. Purely a defensive alliance 🤡.

3k troops is literally nothing. The only thing it shows commitment to is virtue signaling. I think this is a PR stunt off the back of the nato summit.

Yeah, it's pure posturing given that's what Ukraine goes through in like a week right now.

What is the reasoning for ordering reserve soldiers instead of repositioning active ones?

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Reserve soldiers are active, they just have to activate them every so often.

What are these activated troops actually going to do in Ukraine? The briefing was light on details

[–] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago

They are not going to Ukraine, they are going to Germany. This is a routine troop movement that people are hyper focusing on.
