As many as 8,500 US troops have been put on heightened alert for a possible deployment to Eastern Europe as Russian troops mass on Ukraine's border, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said Monday.
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin issued the prepare to deploy orders at the direction of President Joe Biden, the latest step the US has taken to prepare for a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine that officials have warned could be imminent. Kirby said that the"bulk of" US troops placed on heightened alert were intended to bolster NATO's quick response force, but said Austin also wanted to be"postured to be ready for any other contingencies as well.
Jen Psaki makes ridiculous statements that Fox News falsely portrays the Biden Admin. as soft on crime. I could cite many examples that prove Fox is truthful in their reporting but I'll simply cite 1 really good example...'Open Borders' illegally allowing criminals to invade!
I'm an Independent, who likes most Progressive policies. I can also state that Biden is a real flip- flopper and panderer. Used to be called a n'er,-do-well in old Guard Republican and Democratic circles./per my staunch Rep. Grammy. RIP
I admit that I have been unfairly treated in Ukraine, but there is no perfect country in the world. I don't want ordinary civilians in Ukraine to be harmed by the war.
Dictator Biden does not care if people hate him, because like Putin, he rigs elections, & blocks investigations (like on his son), so what the people think does not matter SenateGOP HouseGOP HouseDemocrats TheDemocrats SenateDems

Quick question isn’t Russia a member of g z and member of nato why is it that they think that they not a part of this group
Deployment now, not later
Why are you even considering getting involved ? This will never end. America are not the world police.
What about our borders joey?
Russia ain't taking no bullying by the west and its partners.Russia is teaching the world to stand up to bullies and land thieves.
...such incompetence in the white house...
I wonder if Germany and the other countries that are relying on Russia for natural gas will help the Ukraine Biden gave the Ukraine small weapons and hand guns last year He left behind more weapons in Afghanistan for the Taliban
Biden’s fabricated and unwarranted war to deflect and distract from his failed policies. How many American support another war.
just be careful, biden, and use your inhaler.
Yep. Gotta protect Hunter’s interests.
If the Ukraine wants to join NATO that it’s business not Putin’s. If Russia feels threatened thats too bad.
this where i get cnn without the helicopter version?
JoeBiden FLOTUS Dear Jill, there is a huge storage of REAL ANGER in-store for US continuous interference worldwide. Remember WMD proving to be non-existent whilst over half a million Iraqi's are dead? You are the cleverest person to sleep in the WH in over 50 years - don't
And CNN fulfills Hearst’s desire for “yellow journalism “.
PUTIN...it's time for WW3
😂 May rush continue playing mind games....those troops wait for years
se
U. S Pentagon planners stupid as always think Russia is another Vietnam or Iraq not realizing they are starting WWIII. 🇺🇸 U.S, UK 🇬🇧 and EU 🇪🇺 supplying weapons and building forces with nuclear capability in previous Russian state Ukraine. Clear provocation to Russia.
🇺🇸 U.S, UK 🇬🇧 and EU 🇪🇺 supplying weapons and building forces with nuclear capability in previous Russian state Ukraine. What is U.S doing want WWIII to start
If Ukrain is not part of NATO maybe we should stay out of it.
I would be for this if he was sending them to our southern border.
Until it start raining nuclear missiles in each neighbourhood, citizens will not call their respective politicians into other. The only winner in the game of war is nobody. Or maybe the ...........
But, of course. Elections are coming and Dems have done little of nothing with all three branches of govmt. Pls don't talk abt the defective dem duo, the 'executive' pen is mightier...
Usa couldnt win wars against Vietnamese or Afghanistan inspite of huge difference in capability technology. Now they wetting feet in Russian backyard. Well bloody good luck
Just stop it we back off any aggression of Murder First we bring in Nato of course
I bet it Sucks being a soldier under this administration
All of the people crying about supporting allies and that we should mind our own business are the epitome of “weak men” after good times. They spent the last 20 years making up problems after US’s strong economy has sheltered us from harsh realities of the world.
Got to have another war in time for the next quarterly earnings report
Honestly, such money can be better use for local educational and health care
We need some adults running this administration, not a group of jumpy, pimple faced adolescents! Please, will someone grown up start coming to work?
Here we go , the start of it .....
Where were those troops in Afghanistan?
8,500? Why not just send thoughts and prayers?
Whatever is your wish you will never win the war with Russia. It is like a war between the nation(which is spiritually and morally dead) and the living.Full of rust and rottenness, deep darkness and ignorance,headed by senile creature.The rusty to be taken by surprise. Ending.
Biden getting ready to pull out old reliable after failing so hard. Going to war. Can’t wait for this colossal train wreck to occur. We won’t have to worry about COVID anymore so there’s that.
说了半天原来是部署到东欧，昨天还以为是乌克兰
Send troops to the dead.
As an American this is infuriating!!! No no no
Can’t we just be like Switzerland.
I voted for him and now I’m sad about it. We don’t need another unwinable war that will drain every resource and just make the war mongers richer.
Biden always supports military action putting troops in harms way. Warmongers
Mind your own business Biden!
We dont need troops on alert Ukraine not part of NATO, and also belongs to Russia with all their military equipment
Kinda understand why Russia doesn't want foreign forces in the Ukraine. Kiev's about 350 miles from Moscow. Reminds of when Russia put missiles in Cuba, kinda pissed us off. Everyone's playing with fire here, hope we can talk this one out.
So what will normal Americans get out of this? Its their tax money anyway.
We about to see who joined the military for the college money…
No more wars. If we ever have to fight , bomb the hell of our opponent. No more American soldiers deaths.
Why? Israel is occupying Syrian land. Should the US show strength and impose sanctions?
The dems want war with Russia. You voted for this America.
Don't forget to pay your taxes, this will not be for free.
Biden supporters should step up and enlist now in the tofu brigade🤷♂️
Why should the US get involved ? Why should we allow anymore Nations into NATO! NATO- as it stands today - is not needed. The end of the Warsaw Pack should had bee the change of NATO.
We the people , BUY ammo Now
What if maybe we protect our border…. You know.. the one that’s being invaded on a daily basis….
Muh war profits must go on
Aquaraye14 Allies need to commit. The 8,500 should indicate others must enjoin. Not alone! NOT again.

I have always wondered how the US empire will fall. I would never have guessed the reason being a senior moment.
He needs to be impeached🧐
8500 troops that will be ordered to sit there and do nothing while Russia will do what they please with Ukraine knowing Any red line Biden draws will have dirt kicked on it
And you guys were worried that Trump was going to cause WWIII.
American lives are not worth this ….. sorry Ukraine but the EU has abandoned you and our hands are tied. But now we push Putin closer to China though conflict. NOT GOOD. That is the risk … not Ukraine on an EU waiting list for another 10 years !
USA sends troops but england ,germany, and france are not sending anyone, is not fair. Russia will take advantage of the military equipment specifically designed for that territory and weather.
Dottering old man. You can't change my mind.

Troop deployments don't worry me. It's where the submarines carrying nuclear weapons are. If this gets out of hand it won't be conventional warfare it will end up with ICBMs flying over the globe 🙈
Why do you want war in Europe POTUS ? Why don’t you solve your own country problems for a change?
Just wonder if all the 200,000 plus Russian troops will have to wear a covid approved mask during their incursion into the Ukraine. Will the 8500 troops from the USA be required to wear a mask? You know you can't be too careful when you go to war.
potus Biden WE DO NOT CARE IF RUSSIA INVADES UKRAINE. NO TROOPS. ECONOMIC ONLY. THATS IT.
Biden got his ass handed down in Afghanistan and by a group of rag-tag, sandal-wearing, pickup truck riding 'freedom' fighters. Why does he think fighting better a better trained, technologically superior force will be any different?
What is that going to do for Ukraine? What good is it when it comes to protecting their people? POTUS, you are working toward war to cause a new focus of your failing Presidency!
John Kirby needs to get over himself. If John Kirby says 8,500 troops have been put on emergency standby, check your wallet.
I'm seeing a lot of people say 'America needs to mind its business' but that's not how politics work. Remember when U.S called on its allies in 2001 to assist with operations in the M.E? Dependability and alliances is what's keeping the U.S in its position
Just wait until Biden sends a strongly worded letter!
The US military will be too busy hurt by mean words used by the enemy, and the enemy using wrong gender pronouns to focus so much on being able to fight. They can't even handle mean loud bootcamp instructors, they had to be toned down a lot LOL
'Peace through Strength', weakness desires war!
Smh
What's the point of fighting if no OIL is involved
WAR Is not the best solution in European country
The Republicans always wanna start a war, but when Joe Biden tried to make the vaccines mandatory they blocked it
JOE FIGHTING FOR THE FREE WORLD PEACE FOR ALL PEOPLE GO JOE GO
JORGE_C_NY SenBlumenthal JORGE_C_NY POTUS
This should be led by the European members of NATO since it's happening in their backyard. All NATO members should be contributing military aid and that includes Germany who currently is not.
Does Biden being the spokesperson for the USA not scare the shit out of everyone…if not I wish I lived in your fairytale!
What is it with us 🙄🤷 We don't want Hong Kong or Taiwan to be Chinese, we separate Korea into two, we invade and bomb the Mideast at will and now we don't want Russians to have any influence in what is historically Rus. What are these far away places our business
Biden has no power over the military. yearofthetiger
Team America - World Police! 🚨🇺🇸🦅
What is the correct Islamic religion (follow) (see) the Facebook link or the first tweet with comments)The pinned (tweet )
Russian power is a myth. Great show. There are no spare parts. Nothing is working, nothing, it's nothing but painted rust.
Does the opinion of the American people not matter anymore we don’t want another war?
