The Pentagon announced Monday they placed around 8,500 U.S.-based troops on “heightened alert” for rapid deployment to assist NATO if needed.

Thinking from a logical standpoint as someone who has been in nato excercies before I think Russia will play a political game before a war game. 28 countries preside in nato and many of those countries have powerful military force. Obviously russia vs Ukraine is a slaughter but Russia vs 28 countries. Not as easy. They will play politics to gain the trust of Ukraine long before invasion.
Microsoft: Notice me senpai!
Russia:
Here we go again Deep states send our troops to do their dirty jobs.
Leave them alone, none of our business. We can't even keep our own ducks in a row here at home.
Here we go
Don’t forget it’s all a play just to depopulate 😂 Never in my life would I think both sides would tell each other when there about to invade 😂
The thumbnail had me thinking these guys were laying down a beautiful melodic techno set. All jokes aside- let’s avoid war, mkay? There is nothing to gain.
Well you never know what's going to happen when the fake news won't ever tell the truth anyway. ABC Always Broadcasting Crap.
Biden always fails to amaze me.
Russia should leave Ukraine alone, not good USA coming close to Russian borders, last time Russian electronic weapons turned off American ship. Ha ha ha 😂

Lol….fn thieving aholez are about to find out they are paper tigers turned to ashes
Putin has already won. Remember, his intention all along is to get the US and the EU to treat him and Russia with more respect and to discuss the matter of Russia's security against NATO. He has achieved both objectives, so far… and more… Just with this move, he has shown the fracture lines among NATO nations and their not-so willingness to defend their ally and interest (if not potential member). It also has shown the seriousness of Germany's energy dependency on Russia and the length some German politicians and military leaders would go to protect such energy line.
To Putin, Ukraine is not the real objective, but only an excuse to get on the world stage and being taken seriously… those are his the ultimate goals. What will come may not the endgame for Putin, but might as well be for NATO and the US… because they have been being played like a fool with their set objective as the defenders of Ukraine's territory and sovereignty.
The US, EU, Russia, and Ukraine included, should get together and look into the possibility of creating a "Neutral Ukraine " – another Switzerland or Austria!
Then; if successful ; there should be some form of "national reconciliation " effort. To "include all and exclude none!"
What other options are there for a peaceful resolution? We cannot let this mess fester! Too many people have died!
This mess can get infinitesimally worse! If there's a miscalculation that leads to a nuclear catastrophe.
What would this mean?
It'll mean that in minutes, hundreds of millions of people will die!
It'll mean that in minutes, whole cities will be erased from existence!
It'll mean that our soils and water supplies will be poisoned by fall-out.
It means that the good earth's flora and fauna will be permanently damaged or killed off and so,so much more.
No protection for our own border.
# the whole world is watching putin#🤥 pic 💩
Put Putin in jail … treason to his own country.
They are working together, the world is a stage.
Brandon spending billions to defend border of foreign country but can't defend our American borders let's go brandon
Germany is actively preventing arms flow into Ukraine… Keep your eyes on Germany.
We're going to end up fighting the Germans AND the Russians… Germany is not onboard with supporting Ukraine against Russia… Keep in mind, Angle Merkle is an EAST GERMAN, she speaks fluent RUSSIAN, no English… I served in the USAF at Ramstein AB, Germans are.. indifferent at best toward Americans… WATCH YOUR BACK !
USA + England+ NATO = 🪦☠ï¸Â💀 everywhere…………….In planet ðŸŒÂ
Let 8,500 soldiers go to ukraine war, to defend western value democracy, they will sacrifice their life as defender of freedom, die as war heroes. Hero medal made of brass and ordered from china are ready for them, its cheap only $3 a piece.
another day where our dept of "defense" is operating thousands of miles away from our border. lol. wouldn't even be a thing if we just stop the NATO expansion, how else are they going to react if we're constantly installing pro-us govt circling Russia? our lesson from the cuba missile crisis is that we should set up military bases and arms surrounding every country on the planet. lol. who cares about de-escalation.
Just send in Biden voters
Oh by the way, the US should and must award the Cold War Victory medal to our Veterans before they all go quietly into the night. WE can't let that happen. Just think how pissed Putin and Dumbo Donny would be if this happens. It's Treason if this doesn't happen. Start taking care of OUR Veterans.
