Certain journalist are not impressed with the 82nd deterring Russia on Ukraine

Will he leave Poland last?

Donahue, CO of 82nd Airborne Division is sent to Poland as part of anti—Russian forces. He was the last US soldier to leave Afghanistan on Aug 31, 2021 following a 15 days withdrawal effort & a bloody 21 years of active COIN engagement in Afghanistan. https://t.co/tw955mn3Ru pic.twitter.com/XM3eglG6Nr

Ooooh burn! Paratroopers, Light Infantry, Marines...hell even Stryker Brigades are just speed bumps at worst and trip wires at a very worst to situations like this. You need a fully capable armored task force with sufficient supporting fires and air support. That would be a deterrent. The deployment of the 82nd is theater (can't lie...for events like this I'd like to see Marine Corps units involved), but as far as actually being seen as a threat (especially with the statements that have come out of the White House) and a sad joke.

Side note.  Russia ain't gonna make a push into ANY NATO country. Moving troops and ships around is wasteful and not to be taken seriously.
