Biden says he'll move troops to Eastern Europe as top general warns of 'horrific' outcome if Russia invades Ukraine

President Joe Biden said Friday that he will move US troops to NATO allies in Eastern Europe in the "near term," marking a new phase in the US response to Russia's escalation on the Ukrainian border, which US officials fear could soon lead to an invasion.

"I will be moving US troops to Eastern Europe in NATO countries in the near term," Biden told reporters when asked about a timeline for moving the troops, adding that he did not have any updates on the situation in Ukraine.

As many as 8,500 US troops had been placed on heightened alert earlier this week to prepare to deploy to Eastern Europe -- including units with "medical support, aviation support, logistical support" and "combat formation," according to a Pentagon spokesman.

It looks like war is on the horizon.

When your opponents are Biden, KAMALA, Milley, Blinken, you feel emboldened to try anything.

Thanks Democrat voters.

Most new the optics of a frail Biden and affirmative action hire in KAMALA would be a disaster. Visually they look like jokes as leaders and the world sees that.
