      Lack of military experience and familiarity in media breeds pearl-clutching when context is absent or misunderstood. Size matters.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/817511954616983552 …

      1. Here's a scenario for how things could go badly wrong & lead to war: USA is sending mixed messages to Russia. https://twitter.com/BenjaminNorton/status/817418733954232321 …

      It's not just a question of size but about Pentagon & NATO sending different signals than incoming administration.

          I get that. But Putin knows full well as brigade isn't an offense threat in any way, shape, or form.

          Reforger '88 was 125,000 troops deploying to Germany. We ran that annually from 1968 to the 90s. Putin knows a threat.

          If it gets much beyond a division with offensive capabilities, this moves to a higher level of worry.

          The suggestion I'm reading is that the Kremlin could see this as offensive saber rattling, which is pure balderdash.

          I don't disagree that mixed singles are worrisome. But the numbers are tiny, and the Kremlin knows a genuine offensive threat.

          Hell, Napoleon's Grande Armee was more than 500,000 troops. Hitler needed more than 3 million. Red Square is safe.
