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.

With biden carrying the football one has to believe most of the coordinates are pointing at USA Citizens. This is democrats wet dream
Never listen nor take directions from a baby killer.
Luciferian forces. Demon possession.
Of course the ‘troops’ could just say NO. And, I wouldn’t blame them. Enough of this.
Biden's failed to meet his quota. Management is not pleased.

Right. But some vague Congressional resolution might. Then armed with that resolution, Biden and his handlers could do whatever the hell they liked.
That’s the way it’s done these days. Congressional declarations of war are so last century.
Russia invades Ukraine, China invades Taiwan. Feckless Brandon
I do not believe that Biden is calling the shots here. He just reads what his handlers put in front of him. And not very well at that.
The Obamunist Cabal that actually runs the government needs something to distract the population from their COVID-19 debacle. A nice little war would be a traditional method for doing that.
They are convincing themselves that it will only be a minor incursion which they can control. This is Hubris, to be followed by Nemesis.
The Cabal members are just as prone to wishful thinking as the rest of us. The difference is that we are the ones who usually pay for all their mistakes.
This ends with a lot of them dangling from highway overpasses.
Correct.
Where are all the anti-war protesters?
Yes.

>>Surely he would not do this<<
I think this would be a huge mistake.
Here we go again...
If he does this, he will drop even further in the polls. It would only highlight his hypocrisy of securing Ukraine’s borders while allowing chaos on his own.
Well said. I think you've nailed this propaganda precisely for what it is.
What happened to the congressional members powers of persuasion? Haven’t heard a word about their trip since they returned or IF they returned! Could be because I stay away from the news as best I can!
Love that meme.
And yet we do not protect our own borders.
Ukraine should refuse any “help” from this degenerate WH. The Ukraine will be a smoking ruin. They are better off dealing with Russia themselves.
“Are we the only ones who recognize this.”
They see it, and know *exactly* what they are doing. This has been going on for decades. That’s how the demonKKKrats and RINOs operate.
