This just in, from the White House: Biden has ordered select members of the reserve into active duty to augment the US’ European presence.
I presume that has to do with Ukraine’s failed offensive, not Italy refusing to prepare gnocci with ketchup.
Bad news. I’m guessing nobody voted to go die in Europe for a pointless conflict based on deluded neocon fantasies of vanquishing Russia. The order is limited to 3000 troops, but you know that’s just the beginning.
Scary times indeed.
Thanks for this immediate news. Don’t know what brainless and his handlers are up to. He is acting “By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution ...”. Sounds good, but someone should remind the dunce that, “all treaties made ...shall be the supreme law”, US Constitution, Article VI, item 2. He is explicitly limited by many International Laws made, with Senate consent. If “Operation Atlantic Resolve” (not a treaty) was ever activated, it would require congressional declaration of war (assuming we had a functional gov’t), all NATO’s armed forces, all NATO insufficient weapons stockpiles and all NATO insufficient weapons manufacturing facilities. Russia isn’t the push-over dumb-butt expected or yet recognizes, and would probably end in nuclear devastation with mutual annihilation of current level of civilization. Not a worry to dumbutt. Is anyone REALLY serious about wanting this guy to run for pres in 2024?
I saw that. Good job I bought iodine tabs a few weeks ago. Somehow I feel a tad under protected.
I just hope that Russia is more sane, strategic and disciplined than 'our side.'
