WTF are 8,500 paratroopers going to do that 3 million Germans couldn’t?

A smart thing to do would be to invite an s-load of “neutral observers” to the region, with 24-7 videos all over the Internet. Lots of maps showing unit locations and commentary about what the politicians and spin doctors are saying.

Make “the show” easy to get in Russia, with great clarity who is where on the border. “Oh, look at the Russian tanks running over the defenseless Swiss camp!” Very bad PR.

To make Biden’s poll numbers go up for a wartime President? Just lose your limbs or your life for his ego trip.

Then they’ll become buddies over there again (as McCain going back to Vietnam to smilingly conclude American business deals).

May God protect our service people.

I can’t remember all the times that i heard idiotic libs say that, and yet not one new overseas military engagement, no new deployments. Folks in the military really appreciated that we didnt get involved in here, there, and everywhere if the US did not have a national interest. And here we are a year later...

Don’t underestimate the psychosis of Orange Man Bad.

They’re hoping the 4 years of “Russia Russia Russia” will mean people will be willing to send their kids there to die.

Not only that, but to allow them to paint their opposition as agents of Russia, or Russian sympathizers, and justify jailing them or shutting down their voices.

The people that have the psychosis of Orange Man Bad do not have many family members in the military. Rest of the country does.

I am so sick of what Biden’s Handlers are doing to us!!!!!!!!

Is it the military-age single men illegals Biden's bringing across the border? While he's moving our men out to senseless wars 'protecting' the most corrupt country on the planed?

Is part of the problem?

And that Biden's commie thugs are handing these illegal single men packets with $2,000, plane tickets to staging areas where traditional Americans live?

Or Biden destroying NATO by giving the green light to Russia supplying natural gas to Germany?

and the rest of Europe tomorrow?

Or lying for China about the pandemic?

Or destroying the economy

Or raising interest rates?

Or leaving Americans and 85 billion dollars worth of weapons behind in Afghanistan as a gift to China?

Or appointing Marxists to run our Pentagon? (the equivalent of Eisenhower appointing Nazi's to run the Pentagon during World War II)

Or raising interest rates?

Or protecting the borders of Ukraine - the most corrupt country in the world - and a slush fund for white liberal elite's sons - the whore-monger drug addicted type? and NOT protecting our border?

Or that he doesn't give a damn about the lives of our soldiers and borders?

Or that Biden might trigger a war ON OUR SOIL? Or that we have three more years or hell while he or his Marxist replacement do more... and more and more destruction?
