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.

When I read the headline I thought it said destroy instead of deploy

Exactly.
WE need to concede this to the Sov, er, Russians. This looks too much like an invasion.

"coalition of the willing"

Rumsfeld said the Iraq war would take 5 months in 2002.

But does NATO want Ukraine as a member?

NATO for decades was 1 sugar daddy and a buncha dwarphans. NATO did basically what the US wanted. It asked those kinds of questions when Turkey wanted to join.

Now, NATO is probably full of wokesters who wouldn’t know the historical lessons of Sudentenland if it bit them in the backside.

The situation is probably where the answer to your question looks like a Bidenesque yes-no-maybe-It’sTrump’sFaultIfItGoesWrong.
