President Joe Biden has authorized the military to call up 3,000 reserve troops to support operations in Europe after tens of thousands were sent there last year after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a top general said Thursday.
Although it is not clear whether Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin plans to actually deploy these reservists anytime soon, the move suggests that the U.S. military’s training mission in Europe, along with the deployment of several new brigades after the invasion, has stretched active-duty forces. “This reaffirms the unwavering support and commitment
Uhhhhhh.... how many troops is Canada sending? Germany?

Now that Obama/Biden have queered the military, many if not most ordinary straight Americans don't want to enlist anymore. My generation had to endure a draft back before America had gone crazy. There will have to be another draft, perhaps in an America that has gone politically insane and leftist. No good ending to that.

This is familiar. Mass troops and equipment on a border, tell everyone they're being paranoid, then start a war under a false pretext. I guess covid and the vaccine didnt kill enough people for 'em.

Why aren't average Americans more concerned about NATO in effect fighting a war against Russia through proxy soldiers, and of the possibility of an actual war with Russia?

One more thought: Ukraine is Biden’s (both Joe and Hunter) sugar daddy piggy bank. Of course they are going to want to help them continue the grift. I abhor this poor excuse for a President, and his doper son.

GTH you stupid, brain-dead Chinese puppet. This is how it starts and we will soon be seeing boots on the ground in Ukraine if it isn't happening already. Our government is criminally incompetent.

I'm sure that one poster her who supports Ukraine will be sending his grand children to fight...
And really sad is that too many Republicans in Congress are supporting the unending funding of Ukraine with no oversight and this action.

Trying to get ahead of a psyop pretext a la the Gulf of Tonkin?
Those two events which were CREATED got U.S. into the Vietnam War...
Neither the USS Maddox or the USS Turner Joy were attacked--
The Vegetable and his advisors have nearly depleted "OUR ammo" according to his statements so why would we be publicly be telling ANYONE this kind of information?
There was once a phrase used that said "loose lips sink ships" and we have a brainless blabbermouth as CofC-- where are all the old hippies who said: "Give Peace a Chance"??

Since the LGBTG+ services can’t meet their recruiting goals, what’s next, the draft? Here we go again. Where are the new Country Joe, Edwin Starr, etc. when we need them?
Well come on all of you big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again,
He got himself in a terrible jam,
Way down yonder in Vietnam,
Put down your books and pick up a gun,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun
And its 1, 2,3 what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me I don't give a damn,
The next stop is Vietnam,
And its 5, 6,7 open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
WHOOPEE we're all gonna die

My first thought when I saw this headline was, here we go again, crooked Biden, the warmonger, the military industrial establishment is involving the U.S. more deeply in the Ukraine/Russia war. Is this pay back for the millions paid to the Biden family? As a prayer warrior, we're praying for our country with this lunatic at the helm. God help us!

Just stop this insanity NOW! Ukraine has no chance against Russia. Everyone, except those blinded by greed, knows it.
That some little actor is forcing Joe and company to send OUR money and equipment so Joe can be assured of ice cream cones and sonny boy can have his blow, is beyond comprehension.
In the meantime, supplies to our military are dwindling, just like the Strategic Oil Reserves.
Just think, if someone cannot raise a decent son, how can he be trusted to run a country, except into the ground!?! Lies and greed are not good colors.

Many believed from the very beginning of Biden’s presidency - and especially so as we witnessed his disastrous, deadly and costly Afghanistan withdrawal - that Americans, during his tenure, would face more international danger and uncertainty than ever before, Those countries whose leaders hate America know this is the perfect window of opportunity, for them to undermine, threaten and provoke us. It’s chilling to think of what might happen before his ‘first term’ is even finished. Ukraine deserves our support and help, but his recent directives seem a bit bizarre.
