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.

That is the a great visual
Look at Ukraine.
Note THERE IS NO WAY TO SUPPLY ANY NATO TROOPS WITHOUT GERMANY.
“So democrats are now part of the war machine?”
I don’t think so. I suspect as many Dems will be screaming as those on the right, but what this proves is that Biden is a puppet and those behind the curtain are calling the shots.
This is total BS. My bets are on Russia. O-Biden will fold.
Can you post that at CNN?
Meanwhile millions cross our border. F all these people
Democrats and RINOs have always been the war machine. They play with the lives of American troops because they are greedy and stupid.
What is Congress doing ? Huh? Where the hell are those lowlifes? Hiding under their desks? They sure are brave when sending our kids to die for their idiotic causes aren’t they?
Bingo.
And that is exactly why he will do it. Send in the Woke Battalion.
Biden will use this as an excuse to declare a national emergency and declare Marshall law so he can cancel the midterm elections. That way everybody stays where they are.
What? And tear all those soldiers away from their CRT and Woke studies? Don’t think Gen. Milley will approve.
Too, many americans arent taking the death shots
He wants a pretext to launch an emp weapon over the usa and really wipe us out by damaging the grid
Then claim its russia or china
I know you don’t think this is a good idea.
Fill Ukraine with NATO weapons. They don’t need our troops anywhere near there.
What about sending troops to secure our own border?
Are we the only ones who recognize this.
No. Just no.
Just in time for midterm distraction.
Idiot sh!tmuffin.
