Is the US Planning an Attack on Crimea?

Editor's note: The buildup for a direct war with Russia continues with the New York Times putting out an obtuse article titled "U.S. Warms to Helping Ukraine Target Crimea." If there are any remaining real US military analysts or historians who can see this for what it is your last chance to avoid this has been revealed. This is the end of the western (American) empire so get used to it as the US empire strikes out in desperate anger: The Oldest Lie and Why the End of the American Empire Was Delayed.

US Extends 101st Airborne Deployment in Southeastern Romania

Soldiers from the 101st have been conducting drills near the Ukrainian border

by Dave DeCamp | January 22, 2023

The Pentagon has decided to extend a troop deployment in southeast Romania, which is part of the US military buildup in Eastern Europe that was ordered around the time Russia invaded Ukraine.

The US currently has about 4,000 members of the US Army's 101st Airborne Division based out of the Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base near the Romanian city of Constanta on the Black Sea. The New York Times said the base is just "a seven-minute rocket flight across the Black Sea from where Russian forces have settled in Crimea."

As part of the deployment, some of the 101st Airborne members have been simulating war with Russia, just miles from the Ukrainian border. The troops there have been conducting exercises with Romanian forces involving artillery, launching helicopter assaults, and digging trenches similar to those on the front lines in Ukraine.

According to the Times, the 101st Airborne troops will leave Romania in about two months but will be replaced with a different brigade from the 101st Division. The next deployment is expected to last about nine months and will be led by senior officers, including a two-star general.

The pressure on Russia is ramped up by Estonia by cutting off the Baltic Sea to Russian shipping. It is speculation but if Estonia follows through with this threat it may be considered an act of war by Russia. This very well could be a threat only.
