“US is preparing for a special military mission in Ukraine”

Why is this needed, if Ukraine is winning, as the Neocons here keep telling us, over and over?

Well if the Russians can have a “special military operation”, then so can the U.S., or anyone else. It would be dangerous, but might insure that Russia doesn’t dare to fire any nukes. This looks like a great way for the U.S. MIC to spend a lot of money, so it looks plausible.

First the U.S. billions, then the U.S. blood.

Yeah, it’s getting harder to blame this on Trump. What with ambassador Liz Cheney giving orders to Modern Millie I just can’t see what could go wrong? When we hear about US ships sailing into the Black Sea we’ll know that Brandon really, really needs a diversion.

Mr potato head has to get us into a war.
Then he can declare a national emergency...and then the fun really begins.

Here behind a paywall:

U.S. Pledges Another $3 Billion for Ukraine Defense, the War’s Largest Aid Package

Just in case there is doubt about the source. It doesn't sound like its a done deal. Probably figuring out how to spin US troops in Ukraine without a declaration of war. Because unlike Iraq, etc., this will result in an actual war.

That’s going to make the FreeRepublic warmongers happy - WWIII is official now, you reap what you sow. Hope your kids and grandkids go and I hope you live in NYC.

The American oligarchs are desperate to protect their laundry.

Hopefully, it’s the hill they die on.

I hope the senile puppet Sleepy Joe’s desperate far-left handlers don’t, out of desperation, directly insert U.S. troops into two different theaters of war simultaneously - Ukraine/Russia and Taiwan/China.

There is at least one I know of that aren’t on CONUS. Kinda convenient if the nukes do fly.

I do know this, my nephew might already be or is about to be promoted to Captain in the 101st Airborne based at Ft. Campbell l, KY he’s in the air Calvary end of things, my brother told me recently his unit was sent to Louisiana for training and were told by the of the year they would replace the 82nd Airborne in Poland right on the border with Ukraine, I’m hoping this is all a dream and he’s not stepping right into a major war

This is NOT an article from the Wall Street Journal.

It’s from some no-name, unproven website, speculates supposedly from the WSJ. It doesn’t link to the WSJ, but rather to yet another no-name - but this time obviously Russian agit-prop - website (avia-pro.net), that ITSELF doesn’t link to any WSJ article.

I’m calling BS, and think, based on your post title, it should be pulled as misleading.

No, Big Defense contractors, and Big Energy, run America’s foreign policy. The heads of the DoD are just dogs begging for bones. See the US military acting as private security for Conoco gas fields in Syria.
