been deployed as of this hour? >> no. if you understand what the the troops are intended for, they're part of what is called a nato response force, which is a rapid reaction force that nato has on paper. but it's never fully been exercised in all of the countries that are part of nato contribute troops to this thing or promise troops to it. that's what these troops were alerted to do. the problem with it is that the nato response force has never been used and it takes a unanimous consent from all 30 nato countries to be able to activate and utilize it. i don't see the germans getting on board or the turks or a number of other countries. so again, i think we need much more of a bit lateral support between the united states and ukraine rather than whole reliance on nato because they're compromised because they're dependent on russia,
