As tensions between NATO nations and Russia are increasing even more, the United States has moved to deploy the 101st Airborne Division, also known as the “Screaming Eagles,” to Romania three miles away from Ukraine in the event the war expands even further.
CBS Mornings broadcast a purported exclusive look at what the 101st is doing while in Romania, training with NATO allies. “We’re ready to defend every inch of NATO soil,” said Deputy Commander Brigadier General John Lubas.
4,700 troops from the 101st were dispatched to Romania.
In June of the is year the U.S. Army said in a statement that the division arrived at the Mihail Kogălniceanu Airbase to “reinforce NATO’s eastern flank and engage in multinational exercises with partners across the European continent in order to reassure allies and deter further Russian aggression,” The Trends Journal reported.
Being here, so close to that fight [in Ukraine], is exactly where the 101st Airborne Division is destined to be.
Major General JP McGee, 101st commander, said
However Russian outlet Sputnik reminded readers of what President Joe Biden had said previously:
President Biden said many times that US troops are not going to get involved in Ukraine. Unfortunately such statements are worthless because history has shown the US does not abide by its commitments and promises.
For example, the US promised to not expand NATO. They did, right up to Russia’s border. The US committed to the JCPOA agreement with Iran. President Trump tore up the agreement. President Obama promised there would be ‘No US boots on the ground’ in Syria. US troops have been there since 2015, stealing the oil from Syria. The US reneged on all these commitments.

NATO’s illegal expansion is something the Trends Journal has covered before, along with the United States’ hand in the demise of the Ukraine in 2014:
Six years ago, back in April 2016, the Trends Journal reported that U.S. European Commander chief and Supreme NATO Commander Air Force General Philip Breedlove was stepping down after enthusiastically overseeing a level of military confrontation between the U.S., its NATO allies and Russia unprecedented even during the darkest days of the Cold War.
To replace him, President Barack Obama, selected Army Gen. Curt Scaparrotti who has made clear that he too was determined to rush down the same fateful road toward Russian confrontation.
In testimony to an uncritical Senate Armed Services Committee, Scaparrotti said he was determined to maintain the forward presence of U.S. naval vessels in the Baltic and Black Seas despite the close encounter between Russian combat bombers and the Aegis missile cruiser USS Donald Cook on 12 April of that year.
From a military perspective, we should sail and fly wherever we are allowed to by international law, and we should be strong, clear and consistent in our message in that regard.
He insisted
Scaparrotti was equally unyielding in his determination to support the chaotic, corruption-filled and Nazi-militia-supported regime of President Petro Poroshenko in Ukraine.
I believe that we should continue both assistance and aid in the kinds of assets that they (the Ukrainians) need in order to defend their country, their sovereignty and their territorial integrity, and that we ought to continue building partnership capacity to help them do that on their own.
Scaparrotti said
TRENDPOST: These facts that we presented are totally ignored by the media. We have greatly detailed America’s role in overthrowing the democratically elected Ukraine President in 2014. Scaparrotti openly acknowledged that the U.S. has provided military training and assistance to Ukraine.
As we have been reporting, the western media no longer reports on the U.S.-backed overthrow of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. Elected in 2010 to succeed Viktor Yushchenko, who was championed by the U.S. when it ostensibly launched the Orange Revolution in 2004 that put him in power, Ukraine’s Central Election Commission and international observers declared that the 2010 presidential election was legitimate and fairly conducted.
Also completely absent in the Western media reports is the role Washington and Victoria Nuland, the Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs at the time, played in the overthrow of its government in 2014.
A report from 2014 in the Trends Journal laid out the political maneuvers at the time in Ukraine: “Washington’s coup in Ukraine brought not only a threat to the Russian population in Ukraine but also a direct strategic threat to Russia itself.”
Nuland, who speaks Russian and French, boasted that Washington had invested $5 billion in non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Ukraine.
Allegedly, the purpose of NGOs is to “teach democracy.” Ukraine, however, already had a democracy. In reality, the NGO organizations are U.S. fifth columns that can be used to organize protests and to provide support for Washington’s candidates for the Ukraine government.
Indeed, in early February 2014, a recording was leaked of Nuland, telling Geoffrey Pyatt, the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, that the UN was on board to “help glue” the plan to replace Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovych with Arxeniy Yatsenyuk. “Yats is the guy,” Nuland informed Pyatt, urging her to move quickly because “the Russians will be working behind the scenes to torpedo” the deal.
“F*** the EU!” Nuland told Pyatt. “Exactly,” he responded.
Shortly thereafter, Yanukovych was overthrown and “Yats” became president.
TRENDPOST: Long forgotten was the U.S. and NATO’S pledge not to expand into Eastern Europe following the deal made during the 1990 negotiations between the West and the Soviet Union over German unification.
Therefore, in the view of Russia, it is taking self-defense actions to protect itself from NATO’s eastward march.
As detailed in The Los Angeles Times back in May of 2016, while the U.S. and NATO deny that no such agreement was struck, “…hundreds of memos, meeting minutes and transcripts from U.S. archives indicate otherwise.” The article states:
According to transcripts of meetings in Moscow on Feb. 9, then-Secretary of State James Baker suggested that in exchange for cooperation on Germany, the U.S. could make ‘iron-clad guarantees’ that NATO would not expand ‘one inch eastward.’ Less than a week later, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev agreed to begin reunification talks. No formal deal was struck, but from all the evidence, the quid pro quo was clear: Gorbachev acceded to Germany’s western alignment and the U.S. would limit NATO’s expansion.

These psychopaths are doing everything they can to stir the pot and foment WW III. I think it’s a safe bet to assume that will happen in the future, but time will tell…

I pray we have World War III, America, Ukraine, and the world deserve it! China and Russia are the belligerents.
And if anybody in America thinks while WWIII is raging and/or being built up America will be living in their pleasantville – esque world with fancy suburb houses and everyone’s driving an SUV, going to their church buildings to celebrate their phony faith then go eat at Applebee’s or Fuddruckers and then go on a shopping spree at JCPenney and then watch TV and/or idolize sports and everything is flowers and rainbows…America is in for one ruthless shock!
America is going to be getting slammed and shattered socially and economically while civil unrest and maybe even a civil war brew up on the home-front and the economy crashes.
