NATO Commander Says US Troops May Be Deployed To Europe Over Ukrainian Crisis -- RT

The United States Air Force commander in charge of the NATO alliance’s military presence in Europe said on Wednesday this week that US troops may soon be deployed to the region as tensions continue to worsen near the border between Ukraine and Russia.
