US general calls Ukrainian, Russian counterparts over reported Russian troop movements
AMN ^ | 3/31/21 | Radio Free Europe

A top U.S. general called his counterparts in Russia and Ukraine on March 31 amid reports of a buildup of Russian troops along Ukraine’s border and in Crimea, the Pentagon confirmed on March 31.

Defense Department spokesman John Kirby confirmed that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley called top military leaders in Russia and Ukraine and said the Pentagon is aware of Ukrainian military reports concerning Russian troop movements near Ukraine’s borders.

“Russia’s destabilizing actions undermine the de-escalation intentions that had been achieved through an OSCE-brokered agreement back in July of last year,” Kirby told a briefing, referring to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and a cease-fire it brokered with Ukraine and Russia.

“We are discussing our concerns about this increase in tensions and cease-fire violations and regional tensions with NATO allies,” Kirby said.

The “de-stabilization” catalyst is Joe Biden.

Just wondering how long it will be before Joe orders the US Army Europe to deploy V and VII Corps to the Ukraine?

NATO will engage Russia from position of strength.

Putin sees a brain dead President in the Oval Office and his troops are on the move. Simple.

Our enemies are on the move now. They see a very sick dementia jerk as president and they are hitting us from every which direction including the crisis at the border. Wake up people we’re under attack for the survival of this nation. Keep your eyes on China that is the next chess piece to move. Taiwan is a very important strategic piece of real estate they want.... Conquer Taiwan and they are on the move for sole world domination. I really believe we do not have gut power to defeat China. And they know it they’ve got spies in the Pentagon and in DC ...they know this country is run by weasels money hungry stupid officials Who are weak knee and would rather surrender this nation than fight. Dangle millions of dollars in front of their eyes and they will sell their souls to the devil along with their children’s future too!

“called top military leaders in Russia and Ukraine and said the Pentagon is aware of Ukrainian military reports concerning Russian troop movements near Ukraine’s borders.”

“Of course you’re aware. We assume you’re not completely ignorant. If we didn’t want you to know, you wouldn’t.”

Both of the generals probably told Miley to “go worry about the trannies...men are talking here.”

This is the debate with Biden that Putin promised. Russia will have all the gas producing region of Ukraine within 2 days if they want it. Nobody can stop them. Ukraine is wonderful Tank Country.

US Sec Def:
“We are noticing a lot of troops deploying inside your country, near your border. We thing that is VERY strange behavior.

Russian Defense leader:
“Yeah, now that I think about it, YOU probably would find it odd to use your troops along your border”.

The Zimmerman Letter comes to fruition 100+ years late.

And our dullards in DOD and DC think pushing NATO to within about 50 miles of the Kursk battlefield is just business as usual.

As a rule of thumb, we have no business fighting anywhere that has a WWII eastern front battlefield named after it.

That incompetent, General Milley, couldn’t even protect DC from BLM and antifa, and whined when asked to do so. And now he is going to take on the Russians, on eastern front battlefields.

Von Manstein couldn’t do it, but this clown Milley thinks he knows just what to do? I really need to get some SPF 5 million sunscreen. Like that white stuff lifeguards put on their noses.
