News reports on Monday, January 24 state that President Biden has begun to put US troops on high alert that they may be deploying to Eastern Europe and that US troops will be symmetrically deployed to the west of Ukraine opposite Russian forces, thus surrounding the beleaguered nation on both sides.
Nine hundred miles east of the Cold War’s Fulda Gap, Ukraine has become the 21st Century version of the contest arena for the latest test of wills in Europe’s long history of power struggles between the children of the Caucuses.
As of this week, the United States and the European Union are in a race

For nearly a half century, we lived in fear of a Cold War, but we never had a Hot War with Russia. We won the Cold War by driving the Soviet Union to moral and financial bankruptcy.
So now, Dems, Neocons ( aka never-Trumpers), and the deep state oligarchs WANT a hot War with Russia.
No thank you.

I think the commie “squad” should be put on the front lines to protect Ukraine. They are useless group of c*&$$ so give them their cause to die for.

CNN (January 24, 2022, 6:51 p.m. EST): "Up to 8,500 US troops have been put on heightened alert for a possible deployment to Eastern Europe as Russian troops mass on Ukraine's border, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Monday.
"But, sources have told WRAL News' Fayetteville reporter, Gilbert Baez, that Fort Bragg troops will be going to Europe. The public affairs officers for Fort Bragg's 18th Airborne Corps and the 82nd Airborne Division said the White House will have to confirm any deployments."

I disagree with this article.
Putin will not make a full scale military invasion into Ukraine.
Rather, he’ll foment unrest in that country, using Russian paramilitary troops (little green men”) to help move things along, resulting in the overthrow of the current government and replacement with a Putin-installed government.
This new Russian puppet government will then “invite” the Russian military in to “help restore order” and consolidate its control.
There will never be a military action that can be countered with NATO military force, just a series of apparent internal struggles that will eventually bring Ukraine under Russian dominance.

I sooo miss President Trump. NO new wars for 4 years. A MAN who understood diplomacy.
Being an Orthodox Christian, should the Pretender Biden wish to foment war against Russia, a formidable 1st world military force protecting it's own homeland and what it sees as ethnic and religious Russians in Ukrainian territory, I will NOT support him, period!! And I will pray, march, protest and do everything in my power to prevent American blood or treasure go toward the "increase Biden's poll numbers fund" which is all this is about.
And if that carrier group the Pretender has parked in the Med needs air clearance from Orthodox countries, I beg them to remember 1999 and Clinton's carnage to Serbians on Pascha!

Biden moves 8,500 troops, Putin raises with trainloads. Biden sends our airborne divisions. Putin has more at his disposal than Biden can send and support. He’s the home team. Now, what’s NATO going to do? Enter Ukraine and start a war? Respond with hot lead to a Russian invasion? To what end? An exchange of nukes?

Worst inflation and economy in decades. Check.
Massive invasion by illegal aliens. Check.
Continue massive fear about Covid. Check.
Start World War 3. Almost there.
If biden gets that World War 3 box checked, he will believe that he was the most successful president in history -- given that he would have succeeded in doing everything he set out to do when the election was stolen for him!!!

It's called deterrence. You make the risk too high for the reward....and the bad guy backs down.
But you have to be credible to be a deterrent. Traitor Joe has very little credibility.

I predict Joey will call moving the troops just an exercise and then cave to every demand Putin wants.

Face it, we’re about to be completely embarrassed not because of a righteous protection of our friends but because an old mentally unfit yet arrogant human being is a complete and utter failure. This worthless sack of cells continues to make some of the most illogical and insane decisions which have resulted in nothing but complete and utter failure yet the fact that he proceeds down the same losing path is incredible. The man is a wrecking ball.

Nothing is more dangerous than an incompetent ineffective democrat, trying to get his street creds. What happens when an American soldier kills a Russian soldier? China would love that!
America is not ready for all out war on anybody and would face certain defeat. We may have the weapons to destroy the world but we will never have the guts to use them to defend another small country that for centuries has been aligned or part of the Soviet Union. Biden has gotten himself into a corner on this one. I certainly don’t want a single American to die because this Bozo has no idea how to run a country or international relations.

The democrats, more communist than Putin, want war as a diversion from the miserable governing failures. War to preserve democrats should be resisted at all costs and in every way possible.

#9 - The deterrence here is facing the NATO Europeans. They have a growing dependence on Russia for essential commodities, including gas and oil. There is nothing backing up Biden's bravado. No one is mobilizing much of anything - a few fighters here, a ship to two there, far from the trouble. NATO is near going all-in...and they aren't holding cards that matter. If NATO backs down, it's done. If NATO stands to fight over Ukraine, it will be done, exposed as the weak conglomeration depending on the US for its effective defense...while the Russians shut off the gas. And if any shooting starts involving NATO, how long before the tactial nukes are deployed? Who goes first? This episode is much more about NATO than Russia and Ukraine.
