WASHINGTON ― Republican Reps. Mike Rogers and Mike Turner are urging U.S. President Joe Biden to further arm Ukraine and “deploy a U.S. military presence in the Black Sea” to warn off a renewed invasion threat from Russian forces.
“With the recent massing of Russian forces on the Ukrainian border, we urge your administration to take immediate and swift action to provide support to Ukraine in the form of intelligence and weapons,” Rogers, of Alabama, and Turner, of Ohio, said Friday in a letter to Biden, which was obtained by Defense News. Rogers and Turner are the ranking members of, respectively, the House Armed Services Committee and Strategic Forces Subcommittee.
“We also urge your administration to deploy a U.S. military presence in the Black Sea to deter a Russian invasion,” the letter says, adding Biden’s administration “cannot ignore Russia’s continued threat to international law and Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty.”
“Additionally, we urge you to immediately consider an appropriate U.S. military presence and posture in the region and to initiate appropriate intelligence sharing activities between the U.S. and Ukraine to prevent the situation from escalating further.”

Defend the US border from illegal invaders.
When that is done then worry about the Ukraine.
NO!
Taiwan is another story. But the Ukraine? NO!
I didn’t know that the Ukraine pays taxes to the United States.
You are exactly right. Time to actually do something about the invasion on our southern border. 1000s more en route....
Somebody needs to tell them to pick up their own butts and guns and go if they want to help so badly.
Don’t send our sons for their interest. Especially after abandoning them to the vaccine trolls.
In the FWIW department I think I’ll send them a sharply worded but short letter like, it is Sunday, I won’t say that not today.
Why do we want another war?
Why does it have to be USA troops?
How about sending the damn French and Germans over to Ukraine to defend their Euro interest and keep us the hell out of it.
Worthless NATO!
They don’t care that not sending troops everywhere and defending the border is why Trump is so popular with the base. They can send all the “nice” tweets they want.
Who do they think they’re kidding....our military is already there.
The House Armed Services Committee and Strategic Forces Subcommittee, which these idiots represent, just want more revenue to play with.
Send more aid to Ukraine! After all, Miss Lindsay needs a new pair of shoes!
Ukraine killed itself after breaking ties with Russia after the Soviet Union fell. It is a kleptocracy and should suffer the consequences.
Biden will do what Putin tells him to do...
No reason for us to be there. Ukraine and Russia can work it out.
What??? Who wants to hang with neo Communists who want to exterminate you or use you as cannon fodder in his wars??? Putin is a Communist, is allied with China, Iran, North Korea and Communist and Islamist movements worldwide, and his KGB has funded Communist movements here in the USA.
Two more chickenhawk never in the military GOP whores. Can’t wait to put American soldiers on WWII eastern front battlefields on behalf of globalists.
Half of DC literally truly wants a shooting war with Russia.
They are so delusional they believe they can have a short, sharp and techie conventional war, and Russia will slink away with their lesson learned.
They do not realize that it’s a near article of religious faith over there that no European or westerners will ever humiliate them again and destroy them at home.
Idiots of this McCain camp will get us nukes one day, and I hope DC gets it first.
The DC junta is the home of communism today. Putin is a Christian, has rebuilt thousands of churches, is rebuilding them in Syria, and is building a replica of Hagia Sophia without the moslem minarets. Last week he gave an interview where he said the USA is following the extremist ideological path of the Bolsheviks and warned how terrible that is. He won reelection on a campaign of protecting Russian kids from homosexuals.

But we know that’s all an elaborate act. And that DC and the junta acting socialist is all because they love America and the founders.
5-D chess.
We all miss the cold war, but it’s all over now.
Hey Pubbies, grab your weapons and lead the charge.
