For the first time, the NATO Response Force has been activated as a defensive measure in response to Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Tod Wolters activated the multinational force consisting of land, air, sea and special operations forces from the allies that can deploy quickly in support of the NATO alliance.

The activation of the response troops does not mean that any US or NATO troops will go into Ukraine, which is not a member. US President Joe Biden has been clear that US troops are deploying to Eastern Europe to help bolster NATO countries nervous about Russia’s aggressive actions, and they will not be fighting in Ukraine.

This is a historic moment and the very first time the Alliance has employed these high readiness forces in a deterrence and defence role. They represent a flexible, combat credible force that can be employed in multiple ways and we are utilizing fully their inherent agility,” Wolters said in a statement “These deterrence measures are prudent and enhance our speed, responsiveness and capability to shield and protect the one billion citizens we swore to protect.”

The force has not yet deployed but is on standby. It’s not clear how many troops the response force will contain.

The decision to activate the response force was announced following a call Friday morning with NATO leaders. In a statement on the call, Biden said NATO was staying unified to stand up to Putin’s threats to international peace and security.

“We were joined today by our close partners Sweden, Finland, and the European Union,” the statement reads. “President Putin has failed in his goal of dividing the West. NATO is as united and resolute as it’s ever been, and NATO will maintain its Open Door to those European states who share our values and who one day may seek to join our Alliance.”

Putin miscalculated

sapientia:
Putin miscalculated

Putin has never calculated in his life. He is an ex KGB. He has planned this over the years. He is prepared to take the world including China if China decides to die with the enemies in the West including US, whole of Europe, Canada, Australia. Putin is ready to end the world, after all everything that has a beginning must surely has an end.

If Europe and US continue their nonsense, we will all wake up one day in Hell Fire because Putin will nuke all of us.

Na dem sabi

Do you know that for the us intelligence to know what Putin was planning before he even did it, I bet you they have a plan to contain him if he makes too dirty. Ukraine may just a scapegoat used by the west to weaken russian before they get into a conflict. Everyone knows russia has more nukes than anyone but yet Europe and Nato is not afraid of it. I am certain they also have plan to contain his nukes.

Smh

Hmm...

The show of force by NATO is necessary because if Putin takes Ukraine, what stops him from taking Estonia, Hungary, Latvia & others...

Putin was well within his rights to express reservations about Ukraine joining NATO, but he could have used sanctions to frustrate it rather than war...

Nukie Nukie War Activated

Stupid NATO! Will you Stand there until Ukraine is gone...?
