The United States is keeping a close watch on Russian troop movements near the country’s border with Ukraine, describing the activity as “unusual.”

“We continue to monitor this closely,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby told reporters Friday, while calling on Moscow to publicly explain its intentions.

“Without getting into greater detail right now, I think it's really a matter of scale. It's a matter of the size of the units that we're seeing,” he said, adding, “Any escalatory or aggressive actions by Russia would be of great concern.”

Ukraine’s Defense Ministry said earlier this week that an estimated 90,000 Russian troops were positioned along the border and in rebel-controlled parts of eastern Ukraine.

For its part, Moscow has denied any saber-rattling.

I wonder if the Russians consider US military “maneuvers” inside Syria as “unusual”.

For whatever reason - Obama wants the Ukraine. Enough that they rigged the election there back in 2014 and caused a civil war which was when Putin moved in because it would’ve bled into Russia.

Note that NOTHING happened here during Trumps entire term and now suddenly Russia is the giant boogeyman again...

I’ve got no proof of this but I suspect (especially given the Russia, Russia, Russia propaganda of the last 5 years) that Obama wanted Putin to go along with this communist globalist takeover and Putin said no - thus the destabilization of Ukraine.

Russia should at least wait until they fire all the Special Forces operators for refusing the vaccine.

Strange because Ukraine itself is calling this fake news:

>The Ukrainian Defense Ministry announced earlier that it did not record the build-up of Russian troops near its own borders and considered information about this in the media to be an element of special information and psychological actions. National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov also denied information about the activity of Russian troops near the Ukrainian borders.

Russia will invade and take Ujraine. Nato will do nothing and Joe Biden will turn our country into a cream pie for Russia and China.

Pooty-poot is laughing and scarfing down Joe Biden's caviar.

Next comes Red China taking Taiwan for starters while China Joe scarfs down Moo Goo Gai Pan. Why not, the Red Chinese bought all of Hunters art.

Joe is a very, very wealthy man at the expence of America and NATO.

China Joe Biden:

I suspect that Russia and China will attack and seize Taiwan and Ukraine at the same time and dare America to take them both on in a double-front world war.
