US tests ability to rapidly deploy troops to Europe in a crisis 

Crusader 80

What were they like back then?

@@danielwhyatt3278 Massive. UK would field 130,000 Troops alone. Today's NATO exercises are tiny by comparison.

⁠@@Jin-Ro The same UK that was dependent on American intelligence and logistical support to win the Falkland Islands war? American military technology right now, is leaps and bounds more powerful than anything that anyone could have done in the 80s, including the Americans. They don’t need to deploy and maintain massive armies when they have the greatest air force and greatest navy the world has ever seen in all human history. That may be, not good enough, in the end if conflict does arise involving nato, which it most likely won’t, but neither you or I know that ultimately. They might need those numbers, numbers which they have anyways… but why would nato send and waste supplies on 150+ thousand troops near an active war zone when the USA already has a problem with supplies if it gets into a long term war. The west has an incredible advantage when it comes to air superiority, this isn’t like bombing the jungles of Vietnam and Laos. If war with Russia breaks out and it involves nato, you will have the combined efforts of the USA and Europe fighting war against Russia. The same Russia that is taking over a year to beat Ukraine… the same Ukraine that is only being given supplies, weapons, money, and volunteers… and not even the best technology that the USA has? I hope war never comes between the great powers but it isn’t the 1980s.

@@Jin-Ro Exercise Lionheart involved 130 thousand people because the threat of the red army and Warsaw Pact was astronomically higher than modern Russia. The army of the uk today is barely bigger than 130,000 😂 Past is the past focus on the future. Military technology is unbelievably more powerful than it was in the 80s, and it doesn’t need to involve that many soldiers. Without the superiority of the American Air Force, those 100 thousand+ would be cannon fodder anyways or in eminent danger always

As an ally, or as the boss? If I told you that your body (and mind) were hooked up to an American A.I supercomputer you'd accuse me of being insane, but this is the reality of your situation. This A.I supercomputer is also connected to the internet so knows everything on the internet in fine detail. So as well as knowing everything on the internet it knows all of your secrets and your children's secrets and your neighbours and your grandmothers and so on.

@@stephenoneill2844 Damn that's crazy bro

@@bfte180 Well look at it this way, MK ULTRA started in the 1950's so they've had 70 plus years to master their craft. 70 years is a long time as far as technology goes. Look how far the mobile phone has come along in 30 years, we went from video tapes to DVD's to USB's in a matter of years. Believe me when I tell you that MI5 has gotten too big and needs to be disbanded.

@@stephenoneill2844 You sound very mentally ill from what this and the videos you have uploaded. You should seek some help for that and get off the internet. The internet isn't a good place for people that are mentally ill.

@@stephenoneill2844 would rather have America controlling me than Russia controlling me. Atleast in America we document our genocides eventually. (not saying this is good) China's genocide in Tibet has never really been talked about, Russia's genocide in Ukraine back in the 60's and 2023 was never documented

Not all of us are bots or Russians. Some of us don’t buy the propaganda anymore than we bought the need to invade Iraq

Not single comment pro -Russia in the comment section.. I think you are just a troll.

@@ahmedalsharman both sides use bots. Getting truth is near impossible

that's what I said when they protested against migrants

it would be astonishing to see Washington wiped out by nukes if they tried a direct war with Russia

Tiny in comparison to Reforger and the US had three years to prepare this.

@@caranornalways trying to underestimate usa but it’s ok

@@caranorn True, but compare the combat power of the USSR with Russia today, demographics, GDP... the Warsaw Pact mostly switched sides sans Ruzzia, thus the needs are mitigated.

there is something missing: they need to be doing it under shelling

Good luck 🤞

@@NotTheLastOne cope

@@NotTheLastOne perfect practice makes perfect, never underestimate NATO

Love it, thanks. Macron is the saviour of France against extremism in his two elections, but frankly, sometimes he leaves you scratching your head.

Are you kidding we've been deploying forces over there for over a year now....

That is true but also given the Ukrainian offensive and the invasion in Ukraine it has a certain symbolism to it to say

@@highlander723 cheap symbolism….it’s already tried and tested…..Crusader 80….the Reforger series.

@Take The Trash Out try soldiering in the stead of collecting tattoos

@@mikewinston8709 What the hell is your deal? Yes they do these maneuvers every year There's countless war games that they do all the time. The more you sweat in peace the less you bleed in war. I really don't know what your problem is But I suggest you get over it.

Not a smart person are you

You know what's funny NATO was actually starting to transform into more of an economic alliance and there were actually analysts and experts that were saying that the existence of NATO inits current form was actually going to probably dissolve by 2027.... thanks to Putin and his ridiculous stupid invasion It showed all the NATO countries why NATO existed in the first place and gave everybody a stark reminder as to why they need to have a strong military force in Europe.......congrats Putin Thank you for the slap in the face to remind us who we are and what we stand for.

Well no you wouldn’t being an SNP voter 🙄

You joined/founded nato 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@lachlanchester8142 i I would personally argue that we have no business being anywhere defending anyone because we have a track record of being absolutely disasterous to the people we claim to defend.

@@lachlanchester8142 Ya, that was pretty ignorant of us….no one pays their fair share and we just support everyone all of the time.

@@seth5308 🙄

​@@seth5308 The US is funded by the rest of the world 🤦‍♂️ you are literally in trillions of debt to Europe 🇺🇲🤡

@Aaron_1757 You are aware that the China has the biggest naval lift capacity in the world? Though it is true that it is aimed at relatively short range crossings.

@@caranorn China ain’t a threat to the U.S.A

You do know that the U.S.has nukes right?

@@galvinstanley3235 So do Russia, China, the UK and France. Not that I think the US would be stupid enough to use theirs.

@@caranorn If we feel threatened we will give China or Russia a call.

That would be funny.

It will take a long time before both China and Russia have that ability. We need to be patience.

​@@storage4539Russia tried that already,we threatened them with nukes,they packed up and went home.

Go get out your checkbook. Absolutely no one will stop you but I’m sick of liberal trash offering my money to other corrupt countries when even my trash bill has gone up under Democratic control. America first for a change

We have to put our oxygen mask on first

That is such a ridiculous thing to say I don't even know where to start

Yes we are sooooooo occupied and oppressed right now oh booo hoooo!!

Amen

We don't feel occupied. We abusing the US forces for our own intresse.
