I wonder if they have the equivalent of the Russian battle police who shoot you if you don't follow orders.
I don't know about boots on the ground, but I remain convinced that France might lead an effort to establish an umbrella over at least part of Ukraine if the US wobbles under a Trump Administration. Poland and Romania would probably be okay with forward bases on their soil. I can see deploying enough assets to make taking Kyiv or Odessa impossible for Russia.And will this get Macron to start thinking about sending in French troops again. I know he got a lot of push back before but the situation seems to be getting worse no matter how much the West tries to appease Putin. (Which is what many of us have been saying-Putin only understands force.)
I think I read where this was the second highest level of casualties since the war began.
Over 40k last 30 days. Putler is throwing everything left before winter and prospect of not being able to get Trump elected.

“87 tanks, over 150 infantry fighting vehicles, and 18 self-propelled howitzers will be stationed at the American base in Powidz,” the report states.
POWIDZ, Poland – Now that operations are underway at the newest, most modern Army Prepositioned Stocks worksite in the world, the next step in the process is inventorying the thousands of equipment pieces, there. This includes Abrams tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles as well as dozens of 20-foot storage and shipping containers full of equipment stock, supplies, shop parts, and tools, and a multitude of other tactical and combat wheeled and tracked vehicles, plus more.
"The United States military is relocating armored vehicles from Germany to a base near Poznań, Poland, as part of efforts to strengthen NATO’s eastern flank, reports Radio Zet.
Residents of the Lubuskie and Greater Poland voivodeships have observed increasing tanks and combat vehicles on local roads. However, regional authorities assure that “this transport is not caused by any current events,” according to the report.
The movement is part of a planned operation to relocate US Army military equipment. The US Army is currently moving equipment and vehicles from military bases in Germany to warehouses in Powidz.
Previously stored at a military warehouse in Mannheim, the transferred equipment will significantly bolster the US presence in Poland.
This relocation is part of the US armed forces’ effort to strengthen NATO’s eastern flank. The Powidz base’s strategic importance is highlighted by its proximity to an airport, “which makes it possible to instantly transfer equipment by air along with ammunition if necessary,” according to the report."

Awesome! I'd have it playing The Flight of the Valkyries, or the music they played every time Darth Vader enters a scene.
C'mon, he's a tough cookie who rules with an iron fist. What's not to love about that?And all of these American idiots who support Trump and don't think Putin is a bad guy apparently cannot comprehend how many hundreds of thousands of Russian lives he's wasted here.
This is what you'll get in America if you put a dictator in charge, who has no respect for the lives of any of his/her constituents. Or the military members.
It is hard to root for the country that bans non-white cars. It is nice that they have continued to expand their access to markets, but that is a rugged part of the world. Physically and politically.
