Russian forces massing on the border with Ukraine have prompted the U.S. European Command to raise its watch level to its highest point of “potential imminent crisis”, according to a New York Times report Tuesday night. On Wednesday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley spoke to senior Russian Gen. Valery Gerasimov about the buildup, according to Russia.
Four Ukrainian soldiers were killed last week in an extended battle in the contested Donetsk Region against Russia-backed separatists. Russian forces that were thought to have gathered for training exercises near the border have stayed and grown in numbers, prompting concerns.
Under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Russia under Vladimir Putin took territory in the former Soviet republics of Georgia and Ukraine. When Donald Trump was president, Russia took no territory. Now with Joe Biden in the White House, Russia appears to be testing his mettle.

10% for the big guy.

On a serious note, “bad actors” know we have an utterly incompetent government. They will take advantage when the weather is nice and warm.
No!!!! We aren’t ready. We need more time to get at least 5 battalions of LGBTQRSTLMONOP.
“On a serious note, “bad actors” know we have an utterly incompetent government. They will take advantage when the weather is nice and warm.”
Wouldn’t you? With the chaos being propagated throughout the government, I’m not sure we could defend ourselves from France.
BiDumb will send his purple haired ambassador out to stop them.................
Biden has given instructions to his military (certainly not mine any more). They read as follows: “From Sloe Joe: Should the Russians cause trouble, you are to 1) give them a lecture on white supremacy, 2) raise a BLM flag to indicate your intentions, and if necessary, 3) fart in their general direction. For further orders, please dial 1-800-666-DaHo.
Oh boy, here we go.
Guess who is going to blink?
And when he does, guess who will amass troops on their border with Taiwan?
And also Iran, and the rest...
And guess what? The idiot will be forced to send in our troops at some point.
Un friggin believeable.
The problem is that anyone that understands history understands this risk is REAL. Americans simply can’t imagine it happening. Here’s the interesting part: We are really a federation of 50 countries. What if just a few of them are taken, e.g. the movie “Red Dawn”. Is New York or even Washington state ready? How about Oregon?
Our government is not incompetent at all… They are carrying out their mission with extreme Percision and success: Globalism/Marxist revolution.
I’ve seen 4-5 articles on this subject in the last 24 hours.
None of them mention HOW MANY troops are “massing on the border”, not mentioning the latest push by Ukraine in the disputed region.
It appears somebody, for some reason, is blowing things out of proportion.
If Russia massed 80,000 troops on the Ukrainian border, we would hear 80,000.
When it’s shoring up a weak sector with 800, it’s “massing troops”, and the number never mentioned.
Just sayin’.
Poking the Big Guy to see how he will respond. Its fun for the bad guys. They recognize he’s a joke, its time for the body bags and a busy Dover AFB. Another Dem war coming?
Yeah, I expected someone to take advantage of our feckless administration.
I just expected it would be China.
(hey there kristinn! Long time no see! Glad to see you are still getting stuff out there!)
The State Department will threaten them with diversity.
Perfect time for the bad guys to run amok.....because Comrade Joe won’t do a damn thing.
They are carrying out their mission with extreme Percision and success: Globalism/Marxist revolution.
They may know how to FORCE their implementation on us, but they don’t really know how to govern - or protect us from external (or even internal) enemies.
We are, currently, laid bare.
A test he will fail
When Donald Trump was president, Russia took no territory. Now with Joe Biden in the White House, Russia appears to be testing his mettle. ................ $#!t, In his condition, he may give Alaska back to the Russians. ????
Sounds like maybe Republicans can get out in front of the chaos. We really should consider anti-war protests starting now. Like NOW! Like no WAR for Oil too!
Seriously as much as Biden damaged the foreign policy already, if we were out in the streets...maybe, just maybe a few of these leftists would get a good shaking wake-up?
