    Thirteen is just the German contingent, but the other countries are sending similarly small numbers for now. However, this small group is a recon mission, not intended as a fighting force. They’re going there to make a plan for their armies, not to be the army

      Yeah sending some troops from multiple european countries is a strong message indeed. I just think Trump won’t be impressed by that and opt for force anyways.
