Gaetz Resolution Would Force Biden to Reveal How Many U.S. Troops Are in Ukraine
Breitart ^ | 17 Apr | KRISTINA WONG

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) will file a privileged resolution on Monday to force President Joe Biden to reveal how many American troops are deployed in Ukraine, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.

Gaetz’s resolution comes after a leak of classified documents from the Pentagon indicated there were at least 29 Department of Defense personnel there last month, including 14 U.S. special operations forces.

Biden has repeatedly implied that he would not send U.S. troops to Ukraine to take part in the war, going as far as to say that would be “World War III.”

“The Biden Administration and other allied countries have been misleading the world on the state of the Ukraine war,” Gaetz said in a statement to Breitbart News on Monday.

“There must be total transparency from this administration to the American people when they seem to be gambling war with a nuclear adversary by having special forces operating in Ukraine,” he said.

The resolution would request Biden and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to transmit to the House of Representatives copies of all documents indicating any plans for current or future military assistance to Ukraine and documents indicating whether any United States Armed Forces, including special operations forces, are currently deployed in Ukraine.

If the resolution passes, Biden and Austin would have to send that information to Congress no later than 14 days after it is adopted.

The resolution is privileged since if it is not reported to the House floor within 14 days of its introduction, Gaetz can make a motion to call it up on the floor as privileged business.

The safety of our GIs is a priority. Probably would be best if Congress reviewed the information in camera.

And why keep a secret the US spying on Ukrainian officials?

As well, why would the UN obfuscate concerning US troops being in Syria? Par for the course?

Biden said he wouldn’t send tanks to Ukraine, because it would cause World War III.

Gee, I wonder where it will all lead....

“The safety of our GIs is a priority.”

If it were any kind of a priority they wouldn’t be in harm’s way in regional border disputes to begin with.

That’s aside from the insanity of embracing another “Well, it’s just some advisers” type lie which ended up wasted 50,000 American lives in 60s/70s.

They are just there to act as cannon fodder to try to start a wider war. The Dirty T-shirt Dictator has zero compunction about killing Americans to save his ass just as when he targeted Poland for a deadly missile attack, said “Putin did it!” and demanded the US start WW3 to retaliate.
