People are wondering what this Biden order of military reserves to Europe is all about

During the NATO summit this week, President Biden promised Ukraine President Zelenskyy that there would be no end to U.S. assistance to his country. 

Coincidentally, perhaps, this announcement has appeared on the White House's website:

So, what's going on what that? 

Something's up.

Nothing to see here. Just Biden calling up the reserves in preparation for World War 3 against Russia over a tinpot puppet kleptocrat in Eastern Europe. https://t.co/8Wwx7HWuvd— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) July 13, 2023

Biden Expands the War for American men and women.

Reservists ordered to Active Duty after Zelensky asks Biden for more American money and troops. https://t.co/w7k92VIxZw— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) July 13, 2023

Huh.

Ordering the Selected Reserve and Certain Members of the Individual Ready Reserve of the Armed Forces to Active Duty https://t.co/bB6g8G6cU3 via @whitehouse— The🐰FOO (@PolitiBunny) July 13, 2023

Anyone aware of a declared war or national emergency?
This is being rolled out a a little too quietly tonight

This isn’t good..

JUST IN - Biden orders selective US military reserve units to active duty for deployment to Europe.https://t.co/Xh6Q6DbcOp@disclosetv— 🇺🇸Chelle🇺🇸 (@hottamali02) July 13, 2023

Yeah, you'd think this might be a bigger deal, right? But then again, the mainstream media just trusts the process nowadays. 

YOU decide: Here's the presidential order, published on the White House website on Thursday:

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.  In furtherance of this operation, under the stated authority, I hereby authorize the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a service in the Navy, under their respective jurisdictions, to order to active duty any units, and any individual members not assigned to a unit organized to serve as a unit of the Selected Reserve, or any member in the Individual Ready Reserve mobilization category and designated as essential under regulations prescribed by the Secretary concerned, not to exceed 3,000 total members at any one time, of whom not more than 450 may be members of the Individual Ready Reserve, as they deem necessary, and to terminate the service of those units and members ordered to active duty.

 This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

Yeah, something's up (as usual).

We’re in the “the president needs to activate the inactive reserve force” phase of the military recruiting crisis

Good thing Biden recently announced to the world that the U.S. military is low on ammo, right?

If you think they will not bring back the draft, think about the recruitment numbers and where we are heading https://t.co/n0aGpvcwTT— Peachy Keenan (@KeenanPeachy) July 13, 2023

If you want to know how bad the manpower situation is right now, 450 of these troops are from the Individual Ready Reserves.

They’re not active reservists—they’ve completed their contracts and are living their lives but are on a muster list in case of emergencies. https://t.co/1nDUjR02RJ— James Hasson (@JamesHasson20) July 13, 2023

Stay tuned.

Here's the Atlantic Council's description of Operation Atlantic Resolve:

Defense.gov reports that this operation will be designated as a contingency operation, said Army Lt. Gen. Douglas A. Sims II, Joint Staff director of operations, during a press briefing today.

"This new designation benefits troops and families with increases in authorities, entitlements and access to the reserve component forces and personnel," Sims said.

"This [executive order] reaffirms the unwavering support and commitment to defend NATO's eastern flank in the wake of Russia's illegal and unprovoked war on Ukraine," Sims said.

So, first Abrams tanks were 'no', then F-16s were a red-line we wouldn't cross, then cluster bombs were a war-crime, and now as close to 'boots on the ground' as we have been in a war against Russia?

Many questions arise about this action - Why reservists and not active military? (is it somehow less 'boots on the ground'-ish if they are reservists?) Why now? (is another major Hunter Biden headline about to drop?)

At first blush, this may appear to be nothing significant to the casual observer. Maybe the reserves will just be there in a “support” or “advisory” capacity. But they will be there.

And as Lincoln Brown warns via PJ Media, one must ask oneself if a precedent is being set.

It takes an act of Congress to declare war. Historically, the president must go to the legislature and ask for a declaration. But Biden is taking advantage of his office to mobilize select portions of the military and send them to Europe, bypassing the need to even so much as consult with Congress. Is it an attempt to hide or secure something? Or is it merely an act of a self-obsessed and deluded president and cabinet?

Whatever the case may be, one should be disturbed at the thought of Joe Biden and his advisors pushing toy soldiers around a map of Europe. All the while oblivious to what is at stake. Not just for the nation but for the world. In a worst-case scenario, this is not going to be like D-Day, as horrific as that was. This will not be General Patton racing across Europe with his tanks to be the first to cross the Rhine. This will not even be like Vietnam or any of the recent conflicts in the Middle East.

This could potentially be unlike anything we have experienced before.

Nothing that Biden does is good. Nothing.

“...Many questions arise about this action - Why reservists and not active military?...”

By sending reserves, we can lose a large contingency of “sacrificial lambs” thereby getting the war that we seem hell bent on and not lose whatever readiness our regular, active duty personnel may have.

I’m checking to see if Trump has chimed in on this.

Seems SloJo is panicked; as is BO (his puppeteer) The walls
are closing in on the two of ‘em with BO’s involvement substanuated recently. DS is attempting to cover their ass
by starting a war between countries, if not a civil war. The
only way they walk free is to make certain WTP, citizens of the world have something other than ‘them’ about which to be concerned. With NO CONSTITUTION, we have no freedoms whatsoever. US loses this war, we've lost it all.

Have seen/heard nothing in regards to that. Have you reason
to believe he is? Read just today that Grassly and crew have
in their posission documents proving BO and several members of
his administration were planning to ‘torpedo’ the new POTUS (Mr. T) when he arrived at the OO and begin to govern.

“”””BREAKING: Joe Biden Just Activated The Army Reserves!””””

False alarm, that is one of those fake sites.

The military has been authorized to call up to 3,000 Reservists, not the full 800.000 or so, I also don’t think their branch of the military has been identified.
