Some countries still use mercinaries. Looks like they’re still up for it. They are there for training purposes. Do you actually think 350 or 700 US Marines could hold off the Russians? Did you read the article?Â* The 300 or so Marines were there for six months on a NATO training exercise.Â* Now Norway wants to more than double the number to 700, make the deployment a five year gig and locate them near the Russian border. And you think 700 U.S. troops near the border will stop the Russians from invading if they so desire? They don't have to do that, what with the way Trump is ****ting on the Western alliance, crapping on NATO, and dumping on our long-time allies, all the Russians have to do is sit around and wait, and, from their perspective, watch Trump weaken the West. 1. Who said the Marines are there to hold off a Russian invasion? The point (and my question) was ... if Norway feels the need to have 700 Marines permanently located near the Russian border, why do they have to be US Marines?Â*Â* Norway can certainly train and equip their own forces. 2. This question has absolutely nothing to do with Trump.Â* It seems Â*Â*Â* you just can't help yourself in taking any opportunity to Â*Â*Â* bring him up in any discussion.Â*Â*Â* Next you'll be telling Tim Â*Â*Â* he won't be able to fix up or upgrade his pontoon boat because Â*Â*Â* Canadian aluminum will be too expensive due to Trump. It's called crosstraining. As for Tim's aluminum pontoon boat, well, the aluminum might fetch 20 cents a pound. 6 months is crosstraining. 5 years is a permanent deployment. |

Perhaps you should imagine you are imagining something else...perhaps a motorcycle built in this century. |

Unfortunately, no "profit," but I'm not looking for one...but I do like one of the newer model Hondas, a bike more appropriate for tooling around in southern Maryland. |
