The Pentagon on Monday placed 8,500 U.S. troops on “heightened preparedness to deploy” to eastern Europe as tensions grow on the Russian border of Ukraine.
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby made the announcement Monday during a press conference. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will deploy the troops at the direction of President Joe Biden.
When asked if troops would deploy within the next 72 hours, Kirby responded: “Today we’re not talking about deployment orders. We have no deployment orders to speak to… I’m just going to leave it at that.”
The thousands of troops include “additional brigade combat teams, logistics personnel, medical support, aviation support, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance,” according to Kirby. more
Great googly-moogly! Would ya just watch that dog wag!
It is those politicians who send the military to fight and die for personal political gain rather than to safeguard our country whom I HATE THE MOST.
Drop Bidet in first . . . from 10,000 feet.
Repeat after me . . . Wag The Dog.
Under the direction from obama , there fix it for you.
As long as we’re sending only the newly minted admiral and his crack team of gender confused gi’s.
They can always try to kill them with laughter.
I’m hoping Putin realizes what a dangerous situation this is with these weak sisters. This ain’t good.
Do we even have 8,500 troops available? Seems as though this admin has gutted the military. What flag will they be wearing on their uniforms…a rainbow flag? Good grief!!
If Biden is trying to convince Putin “not to do it,” he’s failing. Russia is not going to allow the Ukraine to join NATO, and frankly, I don’t blame them. We shouldn’t trust the bulk of Europe as far as we can throw them – either! (Exceptions are Poland, Hungary, Italy and maybe a couple more.)
The 1st Rainbow (Gay) Brigade (8,500 personnel, but 7,500 are cooks) is going to take on the Russian Army, Navy, and Air Force.
Brig. General Frank Weiner: We’re going to kiss, er, I mean kick Russian ass and my troops are just dying to take a stab at them.
From a person (newly retired from the Army) I follow on Twitter, the troops are already on their way.
Did Biden send some Taliban, too?
Fuck You, fix it yourselves.
Ukraine & Russia: both mob run Shitholes. (Like Chicago)
100,000 vs 8500 , as Cornel S. Trautman said “ Bring a lot of body bags”
@Toenex: The cross-dressers are there for entertainment purposes only. Burlesque is back!
Kirby is a lying little cock sucker. I’d like to kick him in the balls if he had any.
I wouldn’t waste a drop of blood on Washington BS leaders. Time to bale out by refusing the jab. They are not worth dog doo.
Maybe we can trick Putin into taking 5000 POWs, then surrender. Let Putin figure out we sent commie luvin democrats from Washington D.C.
8500 real men, well a few trannys & gays to be diversified & taunt the Russkies. Other countries will be joining forces to make it 8525 men.
Biden is using this as extortion on the Ukraine for more money.
Out of the 8,500 hundred there are only 1000 Combat troops. All the rest are are support Specialists.
Bullshit Biden response that could have disastrous results.
The so called commander in Chief, Milley and the Joint Chiefs are incompetent.
Afghanistan times 20.
They are doing this purely with an eye on the ‘22 elections. They want to portray Dems as fierce defenders of freedom, opposed by feckless, unpatriotic Cons.
The Late Great El Rushbo taught us to always view the Dems through a lens of the next upcoming election
Send all the transvestites first, with Lloyd Austin and Miley out in front.
Chicken hawk Joe reporting for duty. Five deferments from Vietnam!
Remember all the times Trump did this?
Yeah. Me neither.
Zero wars. Real peace.

You are a fool, at best.
An enemy of America, at worst.
Add both together and it makes you an enemy of America.
No wonder you are anonymous.
I’ll wager you are anonymous to your neighbors, also.
You are afraid of getting punched in the face because you know you deserve it. So you are anony in all of your interfaces with life.
Loser.
