WASHINGTON — President Biden is considering deploying several thousand U.S. troops, as well as warships and aircraft, to NATO allies in the Baltics and Eastern Europe, an expansion of American military involvement amid mounting fears of a Russian incursion into Ukraine, according to administration officials.
The move would signal a major pivot for the Biden administration, which up until recently was taking a restrained stance on Ukraine, out of fear of provoking Russia into invading. But as President Vladimir V. Putin has ramped up his threatening actions toward Ukraine, and talks between American and Russian officials have failed to discourage him, the administration is now moving away from its do-not-provoke strategy.
In a meeting on Saturday at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland, senior Pentagon officials presented Mr. Biden with several options that would shift American military assets much closer to Mr. Putin’s doorstep, the administration officials said. The options include sending 1,000 to 5,000 troops to Eastern European countries, with the potential to increase that number tenfold if things deteriorate.
The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk publicly about internal deliberations. Mr. Biden is expected to make a decision as early as this week, they said. He is weighing the buildup as Russia has escalated its menacing posture against Ukraine, including massing more than 100,000 troops and weaponry on the border and stationing Russian forces in Belarus. On Saturday, Britain accused Moscow of developing plans to install a pro-Russian leader in Ukraine.

“Yeah sure, just fly over France and then go to Syria and then north up thru Turkey.”
That is nonsensical.
Look at a map. Ukraine has a border with Poland (NATO), Hungary (NATO) and Romania (NATO). Germany has countries between itself and Ukraine; it has no direct access to Ukraine. But what Germany does have is US bases for better logistics. I don’t mention Turkey (NATO)because anything from there would likely have to go across the Black Sea, which would expose the shipments to Russian interdiction. Hell, we’re already landing stuff in Ukraine, and as far as I know we didn’t go through Germany (Germany has stated it will not allow any shipments from German soil).
You don’t place much faith in American logistics, do you?
See my post #141.
The leftist will be silent on this issue of he does, They hate Trump so much, they will never admit Xiden can do anything wrong.
Dem presidents always get us into wars
Good one.
This is a move to destabilize OUR country... Biden doesn't give a damn about Ukraine - other than as a place for him and his whore mongering drug addicted son to take bribes and accept payoffs.
Russia would be the mother of all military-industrial-complex contracts.
Let’s see:
Civil War - Republican President
Spanish-American War - Republican President
WWI - Democrat President
WWII - Democrat President
Korean War - Democrat President
Dominican - Democrat President
Vietnam- Democrat President
Grenada - Republican President
Bosnia Intervention - Democrat President
Gulf 1 @ 2 - Republican President
Enough foreign wars. Unless we are attacked or treaty violation which we are signatures to, NO.
He gets out of that shit hole Afghanistan and wants to go into Ukraine against Russia? What kind of pudding is he eating? If he doesn’t get Congressional approval, he must be impeached and removed by his own party.
Our borders are wide open and invaders are crossing by the millions bringing in COVID and God knows what other diseases.
What’s to keep Russia from using tactical nukes?
To the morons who said “TrUmp iS hItLeR”
We now have:
A centralized government attempting to control every facet of our lives.
We have to “show our papers” to go places.
There is non stop propaganda from media and entertainment.
And now we are sending troops to the Russian Front.
You can’t make this s**t up.
Time to get the draft going. If he is going to fight Russia, you’ll need Army’s May the Corp in strength. No, No, No. We don’t need another Vietnam.
Moscow/Russia controlled Crimea from Catherine the Great until Khrushchev gave it to Ukraine in a political deal post-Stalin.
If you don’t know that, you are an historical idiot.
I'm sure DeNiro is all for it.
Sending 5000 troops ANYWHERE is the END of Biden, not that he isn’t done already but sending troops is absolutely STUPID, then again he is this STUPID!!!
You got that right.
Scary thing? Its a major nuclear power and a country many times bigger than ours.
Now if they were to drop one on Washington DC?...
People like yourself asking that question should ask ol pig face himself.
When he is in his right mind of course..which means it will never get asked of him.
That what be ironic but probably not 1 in 100 low info Dem voter would realize it.
They said the same thing about Trump during the riots but he never did it. Biden and his bunch would be more likely to do it.
20% approval coming … Let’s go Brandon !!!
Not one democrat even knows where in the hell the Ukraine is, or what it is for that matter.
