American expert called on Brussels to use NATO's "Rapid Reaction Force" against Russia

In the event of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, NATO could use against the Russians the "most effective" military instrument of the alliance - the rapid reaction forces created specifically for such situations. This opinion was expressed by American expert Professor John R. Denis in his article for DefenseNews.

According to the author, Europe should respond to Russia's "aggression" with the help of the NATO Response Force - NRC, created specifically to respond to such crises. However, the American expert has doubts that the EU will be able to "adequately" respond to Russia's actions, i.e. use military force.

The rapid reaction forces are much smaller compared to the "tens of thousands" of Russian troops concentrated on NATO's eastern flank, the author writes, but sending them to countries bordering Russia could "calm down" populations fearing a Russian invasion. On the other hand, the application of the NRC requires a consensus among NATO member states, since the forces are multinational. The expert draws attention to the fact that lately it has become more and more difficult to make decisions in NATO, since different countries have different attitudes towards the events taking place.

Despite this, the author calls on Brussels to use the Rapid Reaction Force as a military response to Russia's "aggressive" behavior in Eastern Europe.

Meanwhile, NATO has already stated that Ukraine is not a member of the alliance and that Article 5 of the NATO Charter does not apply to it, so neither rapid reaction forces nor any others will fight for Ukraine. Brussels hopes that the crisis will be resolved peacefully. Otherwise, NATO will express concern and threaten Russia with "taking action."

And in the west now, they only shout that they are defending Europe a new order, and the liberation of Russia from Putin, that Hitler and his sadists brought freedom to the peoples of the USSR and, most importantly, "liberation from Bolshevism, during WWI, Kaiser's Germany liberated Russia from the hated tsarist regime, and in 1242 the Teutons defended Europe from the advancement of the Slavic tribes to the West. Read any memoirs of the Nazis, then from general to private you will find these words. Here are the memoirs of an Austrian, SS Untersturmführer Div. year (a journalist by education), this is one, though controversial, but more or less advectively evaluating WWII.
But he sounds everywhere "The heroes who carried freedom in the east, the liberation of Russia from the Bolsheviks and Jews", in general, angels, and immediately writes "We conducted the tactics of the scorched earth, we took the most valuable equipment, cattle and a lot of bread."
Nothing can be expected from the West except "burnt earth" and slavery.

The professor wants to fight with Russia so much he can't eat? The professor does not quite understand the bureaucratic troubles both in NATO and in the EU, and he does not feel well versed in military affairs either. But the most interesting thing is further

sending them to countries bordering Russia, could "calm down" the populationfearing a Russian invasion

And the professor is aware that NATO troops have long been hanging out in the Baltics on an ongoing basis, and in Ukraine NATO instructors, scouts and other trash cans like fleas on a stray dog. So the question is why there is no calming, but on the contrary hysterical squeals about the "Russian threat"? Eh professor, professor ...

The professor does not quite understand the bureaucratic troubles

To act much slower than the national ones. Now the rift between the United States and Europe in NATO is clearly visible, from this and the desire of the latter to create its own Euro-bloc. Until then, individual members of the alliance will constantly put a spoke in their wheels not wanting to go to the wars of the Americans

No, this is not at all a distinctive feature of mattresses. They are more and more sharpened on dirty tricks, such as pushing someone with their foreheads, adding oil to the fire, pulling chestnuts out of the fire with someone else's hands, but how to expose their cunning face under attack, then they will stand on the sidelines as observers. And now, in order to solve the "muddiness" created by them, they are not eager to send their marines, but are calling on Europe to do so.

Mass media retired generals and politicians and all the experts of the "home spill" want clashes between Ukraine and Russia, but acting generals never want war. There is a good example of WWII when Hitler and Japanese generals wanted war. History always goes in circles, only times change.

... "This opinion was expressed by the American expert Professor John R" ...
Simply put, another chatterbox shakes the air, that's all!
Moreover, he is an outspoken layman in the structure of NATO.
Why should the alliance come into conflict with Russia over a country that is not a NATO member?
And secondly, NATO for the participation of its representatives in hostilities must be adopted by unanimous "approval" by all members.

Abroad in NATO, their total number is 1,5 million. Of these, 990 thousand people. - Americans (30 thousand people are permanently stationed in Europe).

Read carefully. 1.5 million is the number of the combined forces of the alliance (already 1.7 million) The article is about the rapid reaction forces. What does it mean to explain or google it yourself? On the Internet there are tasks and structure and weapons and numbers.
