Damn. He’s putting a speedbump in front of the Russians.
1000 men to die or be captured so he can have a war with Russia,
biden has already proven untrustworthy.
oo doubt he will accrue that many at all.
Just sayin'.
a tripwire is a tripwire, doesn’t matter the gauge of the wire...
I’m still wondering if this whole thing isn’t being overhyped to give Biden a fake “win” when nothing happens. The Ukraine president is saying that nothing significant has really changed in recent weeks.
Smoke and mirrors. Nothing the U.S. is doing, whether it’s 1,000 or 8,500 troops represents any material deterrent with 100,000 plus Russian troops on Ukraine’s borders, plus thousands of pieces of Russia’s best military hardware.
Russia-China is keeping Biden diverted and off balance while China completes its Taiwan invasion plans, and executes them after the winter Olympics, after which there will be no Russian invasion of Ukraine, just Russian-China business and military deals.
The inept Biden admin is being played.
Biden has failed here - NATO has already fractured and many of the states in the pact won’t help because they fear retribution from Russia because Biden won’t back them up.
This is all political theater. There is an U. S. Army airborne brigade based in Italy and deployable any time. Brandon is pimping out the Ukrainians and tanking their economy to boost his poll numbers.
Ukraine will go down the memory hole now that there is a race baitable SCOTUS vacancy. Dems will want to focus on a “win” there for the midterms.
I hate to admit it but employing a ‘coalition of the willing’ makes a lot of sense. And if Europeans don’t care enough about their own backyard, why would we backfill for their unwillingness?
Dementia Joe isn’t gonna do squat unless he gets full agreement from NATO.
American woke wimps have no chance beating Russia...ask Hitler how his millions of soldiers fared 1941 to 45.
He’s trying to wag the dog and everybody knows it.
All just to get his poll numbers up..................
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.
If Russia does not invade the democrats and media will have orgasms over Bidet’s “leadership” and standing up tough to Putin.
Total bs
Eventually, it will just be a Scout troop with sharpened sticks.
Nodding to the posts here. I’m starting to think that standing up to Russia on this Ukraine issue is not the issue. (especially since we are the instigators) Looking around for the alternative issue. Several candidates named on this thread.
But 2500 troops was too high a military personnel to secure the air base and secure remaining Americans and US supporters in Afghanistan.
I say he practices on someplace like Afghanistan first
Oh wait. Nevermind.
