President Joe Biden plans to send another 3,000 troops to Europe amid continued tensions between Russia and Ukraine.
Biden is sending about 2,000 troops from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to Poland and Germany this week. The president is also moving about 1,000 soldiers based in Germany to Romania, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing administration officials.
“They are trained and equipped for a variety of missions during this period of elevated risk,” a senior defense official told the Wall Street Journal.

The Pentagon has put about 8,500 U.S.-based troops on higher alert for possible deployment to Europe. Officials have said the additional units could be put on higher alert soon. The U.S. already has about 75,000 troops in Europe as permanently stationed forces, according to the Associated Press.
Some of the additional 3,000 troops could be used if the U.S. military is asked to help evacuate about 30,000 Americans living in Ukraine, the official told the Wall Street Journal.

That poor puppy has been wagged so much it’s whining. Elections have consequences, stolen ones have catastrophic consequences. Abysmal performance for 12 months has created a need to defer attention. Had we not a catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan it might be a good ploy. Russia is not going to invade Ukraine. Ukraine IS NOT part of NATO nor should it ever be.
Russia supplies 46% of Europe’s natural gas. Today, Russia closed a major pipeline to bring some pain to Europe. The U.S. says it will send Europe more Liquid Natural Gas (LNG). Bottom line – Americans will pay more for natural gas AND for electricity because of interfering in this, since 50% of electricity comes from natural gas. I don’t know anyone who is in favor of defending the most crooked nation in Europe.
After Afghanistan, I wouldn’t trust Biden to mow my yard.
Another article here says that 50% of Americans now support his impeachment.
We send troops to secure border in a foreign country while our borders are WIDE open?? Impeach of TREASON.
