The Russian government accused the United States of “escalating tensions” after the Pentagon placed thousands of U.S. troops on heightened alert

on Monday that several of its European member states were deploying additional ships and fighter jets to Eastern Europe and putting new forces on standby.

“The aggressive behavior here is on the part of the Russians,” Psaki said. “This is a defensive alliance, not an offensive alliance. And what we’re doing here is not making a decision … to deploy, but just to be ready.” The leaders discussed “preparations to impose massive consequences and severe economic costs on Russia” for any further aggression against Ukraine, and they “committed to continued close consultation with transatlantic Allies and partners,”Kirby, the Pentagon spokesperson, told CNN on Tuesday that it was possible the United States would put “additional forces on heightened alert in the coming days and weeks,” beyond the roughly 8,500 troops notified thus far.

wonder what the Russian people think about this and the Russian soilder outin the cold away from family.

“We only have 100,000 troops and heavy armor on the border of Ukraine. How dare you put 8,500 of your soldiers on alert.” It seems like the Russian government spokespersons are drama queens.

Keep pushing it Politico. Gotta earn those Lockheed checks

Do not let the Russians lie. Russian has amassed 100,000 troops at the Ukrainian border which triggered all this tension. Lying Russian government and killer Putin. They Do not know the difference between Truth and Lies just like FoxNews and Newsmax siding with Russia. FoxNews

US accused Russia of “ escalating tensions “ after Russia was installing missiles in Cuba in the 60’s according to a friend

Betcha the Nazis said the same thing when we stormed Normandy.

So Vlad & Co mass hundreds of thousands of troops along Ukraine eastern & northern borders in an attempt to destroy a democracy bc he wants to go back to old USSR days but that’s OK. Time to go on Maury Vlad…

Amazingly, the accusation squeezed its way through a thick wall of old Soviet armaments, present day man power and the remains of Russia’s unstolen treasury to reach Western ears.

Tell Putin that Trump and all the yapping 🤡🤡🤡 on Fox have his back, tho 🙄

Exactly what they have done before.
