By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 121 and 12304 of title 10, United States Code, I hereby determine that it is necessary to augment the active Armed Forces of the United States for the effective conduct of Operation Atlantic Resolve in and around the United States European Command’s area of responsibility.

I have read that the 101st Airmobile Division is deployed to Western Europe, and I think 1/3 of the 82d Abn Div is currently in Poland - that is approximately 40 percent of the XVIII Airborne Corps. Democrat presidents since Carter have been a disaster for the military; Biden being corrupt is worst than Clinton or Obama. Whoever is calling the shots on US foreign policy are Marxist NEO/NATO-Con’s.
Biden preparing the setting for war? Yes. Involuntary draft next as Biden sees advantage to ramping up the Military Industrial complex. More weapons and ammo, more money in Biden’s pocket and more opportunities for Biden family members to cash in.
You have perfectly described 1/2 of the truth but revealed the real reason for the war, your dream of destroying Russia. This was dreamed up by Woke before Woke went for broke. Russia is going to end this war on terms that NATO will accept. The US has tried to keep Russia separated from the EU and suceeded with this war. However, Russia is aligned with India, Brazil, China thru Brics which will further subplant the PetroDollar with a gold back currency. The days of the US dictating to the world who can buy what or from who are fast coming to an end because of Obama and Biden.
President Trump reactivated V Corps and moved its European headquarters closer to the Russian threat, from Germany to Poland.
Currently, the 101st is manning V Corps headquarters, previously it was the 82nd.
I would agree with you on that actually.
As for the BRICs currency scheme, it suffers from the problem that the primary members cannot and do not trust each other. Even now, for example, Russia has a large balance in rupees on deposit in India but no practical way to spend it or convert it efficiently into a transactional currency like the dollar.
Russia is a gulag nation. From the Tsars to the Bolsheviks.
A brief break from their brutality with Gorbachev and Yeltsin.
The Russians are used to being enslaved. If Putin goes, there's a good chance he'll be replaced by another strongman.
Kennedy sent ‘advisors’ into Vietnam ...
My innate sense of optimism leads me to wish that I could dispute your point, but I know all too well that you are correct.
😁 I grant you license to use it as you choose.
Truman sent advisors to Vietnam in Sept. 1950 (MAAG), Eisenhower kept them there during his two terms and they were doing fine under JFK until......JFK expanded on those and sent in 16,000 troops.
Downstream of when recruiting has been far below required minimum AND everyone is getting out because they don’t want to work for this admin.
All I knew were 4+4. I don’t deny 6+2, I just don’t know anyone…
I do not believe any honest, honorable and moral man would willingly serve in this evil, Godless government.. Those days, for this nation, have come and gone.
The good guys are on the outside looking in and thinking dreadful things about this wretched government. :(
Yes, IF the orders actually get cut. It’s a process: Appropriation does not mean authorization and authorization does not mean implementation.
See my response to post 30: authorization does not mean implementation.
Since no sound minded young person will accept the kleptocrat Joe Biden as commander in chief, enlistments have fallen.
Calling up reserves is necessary
I’m going fishing with Larson!
NATO caused this situation and 100 percent responsible. Your one-sided view of history sounds exactly like the Biden Admin MSM talking heads who stole an election and have spied on all Americans so that they can keep control of the country. The reasons you present might have passed the truth test before 1991. Since then those hostile roles have reversed and it is the West who is hostile to the East. Even a horse isn’t as blinded as you DNC trolls.
Well you’re right he’s not calling anyone up and neither is his staff. The reserves are all already on active duty all around the US. Trump Federalized them all 3 years ago.
