“.. I don’t think Beijing Biden has the Cajones
unless he thinks this is the only way he can pump his poll numbers”.

A war with Russia would knock his numbers down to zero.

Second, Joe Biden has announced that six U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are being moved into the Mediterranean Sea to provide air defense missions and the ability to launch cruise missiles well inland into Russia

Not a Biden fan, but no he didn't announce that, you page-clicking hack, Sundance.

Biden did not mention anything about the destroyers being moved so that there is the ability to launch cruise missiles "well inland into Russia". That may be what Sundance thinks, but Biden didn't say it.

Sundance is well known for fear porny writing. He "ups" his game by not writing well. What a hack - just going for clicks.

Going to war with a WOKE military and a completely drained Strategic Petroleum Reserve. What could possibly go wrong?

“Putin can’t die quick enough”.

With the bumbling puppet Biden and his NWO handlers, a Russian ICBM is likely to take you and a bunch more people out before Putin ever dies.

Every time US troops rotate into Europe, the usual bloggers claim some impending invasion of something or other.

“”””First, the U.S. is moving troops from the 101st Airborne ‘screaming eagles’ into NATO allied countries on the western border of Ukraine. This is the first deployment of the Army’s 101st Airborne Division from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to Europe in 80 years.””””

https://www.army.mil/article/256658/army_announces_upcoming_unit_deployments_in_support_of_european_allies_and_partners

‘These deployments are a one-for-one unit replacement which leaves our overall force posture in the region unchanged. The units being replaced will return to their home station.

The 101st Airborne Division Headquarters, from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, will deploy to replace the 82nd Airborne Division Headquarters. Approximately 500 Soldiers will deploy.

The 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, will deploy approximately 4,200 Soldiers to replace the 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division.

The 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, from Fort Hood, Texas, will deploy approximately 4,200 Soldiers to replace the 1st Armored Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division.’

Oh, we’re good to go. Remember our sub drivers have mastered skipping their fast attacks off the bottom? The USS Connecticut is still up at Bremerton getting its campaign ribbon painted on, promoting the captain, etc.

Thanks To Leftist Corruption, U.S. Military Recruiting Is In Total Freefall
BY: CHUCK DEVORE
JUNE 29, 2022

[Excerpt: Please read it all at the link. This, as we gear up for WW3 in Europe.]

As a result of its massive recruiting shortfalls, the U.S. Army has lowered its standards, dropping requirements for recruits to have a high school diploma or GED to enlist, while relaxing tattoo restrictions to allow tattoos on hands and neck without a waiver. These two decisions will result in a less capable force with troublesome discipline issues. The Army is even offering enlistment contracts as short as two years — barely enough time to learn the basics of modern warfare.

The DoD is even reviewing more than 250 disqualifications for service, such as asthma and ADHD. With only 23 percent of Americans ages 17-24 qualified to serve in uniform without a waiver and just 9 percent of those eligible to serve even interested — the lowest since the Iraq War troop surge in 2007 — something has to give, with some experts suggesting that a draft might be needed again. Fears over not being able to meet uniformed staffing levels might have informed the seven Republican members of the Senate Armed Services Committee who voted to require women to register for a military draft in June.

Biden’s defense officials may hope money solves the problem, but they’d be better advised to look in the mirror instead. When you openly accuse the military of being rightwing and harboring white supremacists, insist on schooling them in transgender pronoun usage, and then force them to get vaccinated for a Covid-19 virus that’s less threatening than the flu for the young and healthy military demographic, you shouldn’t be shocked that they don’t want to enlist under a leadership they neither trust nor admire.

We sleep soundly in our beds because pudgy people stand ready to visit proper pronouns on those who would harm us.

This is outrageous. And how many troops do we get at our border?

In my opinion; If it goes bad, Russia has only one option, a massive first strike. If they were to try a limited nuclear exchange we would devastate them. They would not be able to make much of a retaliatory second strike.

agree; if we send cruise missiles into Russia from our warships, we are inviting a nuclear response.
