As Biden prepares to send thousands of US troops into harms way in Eastern Europe, 8,500 additional troops have been placed on ‘heightened preparedness’ over the Russia-Ukraine conflict. You know Joey has to protect Hunter Biden’s pals at Bursima. One little mistake, and it will be World War III with nuclear weapons.
The United States has heightened the readiness of some 8,500 troops in the United States amid tensions between Russia and Ukraine, but no decisions have been made yet to deploy them.
“Secretary Austin has placed a range of units in the United States on a heightened preparedness to deploy, which increases our readiness to provide forces if NATO should activate” the NATO National Response Force, said Pentagon press secretary John Kirby on Monday.
“The United States is deeply concerned about the current situation in Europe,” Kirby said. “We remain keenly focused on Russia’s unusual military activities near the Ukrainian border, including in Belarus, and consulting extensively with our transatlantic allies and partners. The department continues to support diplomatic efforts to deescalate the situation.
