Biden is now 'planning to deploy just 1,000 troops to Eastern Europe' after putting 8,500 on standby: President is trying to form 'coalition of the willing' with NATO allies to round on Putin as he threatens to invade Ukraine

Joe Biden is planning to deploy 1,000 troops to Eastern Europe to defend it against Russian aggression alongside several Nato allies, a new report claimed on Wednesday.

It comes a day after he put 8,500 U.S. soldiers on alert to go to the region where Putin is threatening to invade Ukraine.

The president is trying to patch together a ‘coalition of the willing’ of NATO members who would each deploy 1,000 troops, according to CNN.

However, some countries are unwilling to take action and Biden is reserving the right to act bilaterally with just the U.S. and a 'handful' of other countries including the U.K.

“While some oligarchs in Ukraine sell the U.S. equipment on the black market, to Russia.”

You know the region well.

American advisors and military equipment, then a few thousand troops to assist the local defenders. We should be out of Viet Nam in a short time. Escalation and a wider war is not anticipated.

Oops, darn it, this is the Ukraine story.

American woke wimps have no chance beating Russia...ask Hitler how his millions of soldiers fared 1941 to 45.

And the careerist REMF yes-men in the Pentagon are fine with this. I can’t call them officers. That would hint at the slightest ounce of integrity.

Bidung’s a mean, nasty little man...... endangering our troops and our ntl security....so he can vent his spleen over Putin.

Bidung can drop his Near Death Dementia Act, his Victim Act, and his Gold Star Father Act.... to do what he does best....be his mean nasty self.

Besides....war profiteering is great for the greedy Biden Crime Family.

I can’t wait until some Russian ships try to attack our ships in the Gulf of Tonkin, er, still Vietnam.
Maybe their planes attack our transports?

Yeah. His domestic policies are such disasters, he needs something more controllable going into the mid-terms. Even the talk of facing off with Putin puts domestic policy news on the back burner.

Politics. That is what politicians wallow in.

Around 30% of Americans support Biden sending US troops to Ukraine in Rasmussen poll released yesterday. Not going to help Dementia Joe’s polls if he does it.

Russia has been “in” Ukraine for 8 years now. They destroyed over 100 miles of border and already move troops back and forth between countries at their leisure.

.
There are Videos of Biden imploring Congress to ignore the Public Will and take the Long Road in Afghanistan. Think long term, no matter what, stay the course.

He then (years later) pulled out leaving Close to a Trillion of Military Hardware and systems to Terrorists.

RE: Gulf of Tonkin....

Amazing footnote about the Doors’ Jim Morrison and his father:
George Stephen Morrison (January 7, 1919 – November 17, 2008) was a United States Navy rear admiral (upper half) and naval aviator. Morrison was commander of United States naval forces during the Gulf of Tonkin Incident of August 1964, which sparked an escalation of American involvement in the Vietnam War. He was the father of Jim Morrison, the lead singer of the rock band The Doors, who died on July 3, 1971.
-—Wikipedia bio excerpt.

Ukraine Black Sea coast to the Dnieper including Odessa. That’s the real objective. Watch. And Kiev will be attacked but not invaded until Zelensky steps down and pro Putin puppet takes over.
