* Zelensky chided world leaders for their public statements, saying 'we don't need this panic' and condemning the withdrawal of diplomats
* Chairman of Joint Chiefs Gen Milley warned of 'horrific' consequences if Russia put its 100,000-plus force to work on an invasion
* Russia has amassed more than 100,000 troops around Ukraine after a steady buildup in the region and may be planning an invasion in February

President Biden said Friday evening that he will move US troops to Eastern Europe sometime 'in the near term'.
However, he said they would not necessarily be deployed as part of a NATO force.
'I'll be moving troops to Eastern Europe and the NATO countries in the near term. Not too many,' Biden said as he got off Air Force One after a trip to Pittsburgh.

If Biden had NATO support he would trumpet that fact. What Biden said is really unthinkable. America is rushing to defend NATO members from Russia intimidation without NATO(Germany) support.
ReplyDeleteThat means NATO has failed.
No, it means that Biden is insane. His goal is not to protect Ukraine. Biden's goal is to destroy America, plus distract the American public from anti-Democrat voting in 2022, so as to hasten the destruction.
ReplyDeleteIt simply isn't that Biden is terrible. He is. It also that "the field work ahead of planting" was done. Dems encouraged European socialist to think they could denigrate Trump and the US and 5 years later there would be no problems?

ReplyDeleteSome NATO countries will not accept more US troops. Some will accept them gratefully. Putins aim might not be to invade Ukraine. It could be a massive operation to fracture NATO without firing a shot. Forming an EU army to replace NATO might also fracture the EU. Time will tell. If Putin does invade Ukraine, NATO will stand on the side lines. All of the EU politicians making a killing in the status quo will quiver like jelly when the Ivans start shooting. There could be another run on toilet paper. Keep ducking 🙈
ReplyDeleteUnknown, they already have strategic reserves of toilet paper :)
ReplyDeletePutin has already won by exposing the seams in NATO. This was apparent after the Afghanistan debacle and Putin just followed through on it. Biden's career track record in foreign policy disasters shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that he continues to do that.
