A plan to bring American soldiers to Europe in the event of war between NATO and Russia. This is the scenario outlined by The Telegraph newspaper in a crucial phase of the conflict in Ukraine. Kiev, after the green light from numerous Western countries, began hitting military targets on Russian territory with weapons supplied by its partners. In particular, in the last few hours Ukrainian forces have used American Hi-mars to destroy an S-300 missile system.
According to The Telegraph, NATO is developing a plan to quickly deploy American troops in Europe if a possible escalation were to lead to a head-on clash between the Atlantic Alliance and Russia. The American soldiers would notably arrive at Dutch ports, with Rotterdam the focus of the operation, before being transferred by train to Germany and Poland.
If the ports of northern Europe were not accessible or were targeted by Russian attacks, plan B would be adopted: according to the British newspaper, US soldiers would land in the ports of Italy, Greece and Turkey. Then, off to train transfers through Bulgaria, Romania and the Balkans. In essence, the soldiers would travel quickly towards the eastern front, following itineraries not affected by border controls or forced stops.
The importance of American support and NATO’s commitment were highlighted by the President of the United States, Joe Biden, in a long interview with Time Magazine. “First: the Russian army has been decimated. It is not written about, but it has been decimated. Second, NATO is significantly stronger than when I took office” as president. “And it’s my work,” he said, claiming his role.
Support for Ukraine, Biden added, is vital: “The point is: if we let Ukraine go under – mark the words – then it will be Poland’s turn. And you will see that all the nations that border Russia, from the Balkans to Belarus, they will make their own deals.”
