Biden's new military boost in Europe foretells a new censorship state for Americans

Just what the most repressive U.S. administration since Woodrow Wilson's ordered: a military buildup to draw us closer into a hot war with Russia, which will have the bonus for this Despotic Clique of providing the excuse for FBI head Christopher Wray to order a ruthless crackdown on political dissent, not to mention refusal to comply with congressional oversight requests.

Here are the lede paragraphs in Politico's report on this startling development of a U.S. military buildup. Not that this just happened to occur hours after word broke of House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan's letter to Wray calling for release by July 27 of documents concerning the FBI surveillance, via Google, of staffers on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence — surveillance believed to been in retaliation for the Intelligence Committee's probe of the FBI.

President Joe Biden has authorized the military to call up 3,000 reserve troops to support operations in Europe after tens of thousands were sent there last year after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a top general said Thursday.

Although it is not clear whether Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin plans to actually deploy these reservists anytime soon, the move suggests that the U.S. military's training mission in Europe, along with the deployment of several new brigades after the invasion, has stretched active-duty forces.

The Politico report goes on to provide a rationale how the move is needed to protect he eastern flank of NATO — which of course is a euphemism for saying that NATO, in recent decades, has expanded eastward into the former countries of the Soviet Union's Warsaw Pact. Politico also mentions what might be news to most Americans: that Biden sent an additional 20 thousand troops to Europe at the start of the war in Ukraine, bringing the total now to 100,000...

The point of the article is that this could set up the Biden regime to arrest Trump for interfering by opposing the war.

They want The Mother Of All Sedition Acts to criminalize any and all opposition. It will be Woodrow Wilson on steroids.

Any old-timers out there remember a similar proxy war with a Communist regime?

We will probably have to reinstitute the draft to get some "real men" in the ranks.

Biden, knowing the truth about JFK, knows very well not to cross the alphabet agencies.

Fake news - its actually a rotation.

What Biden’s Troop Call-Up Order To Europe Really Means

With a strained force in Europe, the order could recall hundreds of people who left the military to take the place of deployed troops.

The Ukraine has been destroyed. It will take 100 years to rebuild and Putin is comfortable with that. The monies given to Zelensky is done to placate him and not for the benefit of the people..Most of the aid money went into Ukrainian pockets...Putin will give the Ukraine to the Muslims because he can control them at minimal expense and they don’t mind living in squalor because Allah says so.
