Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned Congress on Tuesday during a private briefing that if they do not
pass more aid to Ukraine, it would “very likely” lead to U.S. troops fighting a war in Europe.

The Biden regime’s neocon tendencies won’t play well with the Democrat rank and file, much of which is peacenik. Hillary’s war piggery cost her the 2008 DNC nomination and probably the 2016 general as well: Democrats with hippie tendencies chose Obama in ‘08 and stayed home in ‘16. The cabal that stole 2020 will have to try even harder to overcome the Occupy crowd’s antipathy toward the merchants of death, who apparently control both parties’ establishments.

Now if Biden attempted to send American troops to this clusterf—-that would be the greatest impeachable offense in history.

Sure winning position for Democrats.

Every position is a winning position for democrats. The media scum will back them, and they control vote counting.

“What’s with that dumbazz ribbon-hung medal around his neck? He looks like the President for Life of some African kleptocracy.”

Austin reminds me of Klaus Schwab and those leaders of the WEF, it’s all fantasy and oblivious to the truth.

Bad source.

Title doesn’t match Austin’s comment.

Breitbart’s focus in on provocation and incitement.

“What’s with that dumbazz ribbon-hung medal around his neck?”

Looks to be a Philippine-American friendship medal or some such.

I believe he is reviewing Philippine Marines. The Pass-in-Review has been a military, diplomatic tradition for centuries among nations.

Just some of the stuff a person has to do when they’re in a public position. It’s all usually orchestrated by assistants according to established protocol. I doubt he even picked his tie.

You had a point that Austin’s warning about Ukraine was vague. I’m not sure whether your comment about Latvia was rhetorical. Putin would have to be crazy to attack Latvia.

And what does the GOP have to say about this?

Anything?

Probably salivating, having secret behind door mettings with defense contractors, planning on how to best divvy up the federal moneies and contracts.

... it would “very likely” lead to U.S. troops fighting a war in Europe.

Except that's not what he said, according to the statements by Congressman who heard the briefing.

Good grief, brietbart has fallen so far in journalistic competency.

Congress answer should be…. “Only congress can declare war. You try to do it and we will be visiting you in prison”

BS. This is just the latest Neocon attempt to shake down the taxpayers for more money for their latest grift.

Russia is not going to attack NATO and vice versa. The US is not going to have its troops fighting against Russia. Anybody with even a room temperature IQ knows this is just a scare tactic.

“He’s predicting Russian success will lead to ...”

My view is that an agreement letting Russia have certain disputed territories, and in return Russia promises no further aggression, is reasonable.
