HIGH ALERT – U.S. military forces in Europe have been put on ‘high alert’ as the fighting between Russia and Ukraine escalated this week and additional Russian troops are deploying to the region. The U.S. European Command (EUCOM) raised its threat levels in Europe to a “potential imminent crisis” which is the highest potential watch level.
This conflict has been simmering since 2014 when Russia launched its ‘hybrid war’ with ‘little green men’ covertly invading the Crimea, creating a tense new de-facto border between Russia and Ukraine in the Donetsk Region of eastern Ukraine.
The current ramp-up in violence between Russian-backed separatists and Ukrainian forces signals the failure of the most recent cease-fire from July, negotiated by representatives of Ukraine, Russia and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
Russia’s leader, Vladimir Putin’s intentions are not clear, but many experts believe this appears to serve as an early test of President Joe Biden’s commitment to Ukraine. The problem is that a ‘test’ like this could quickly escalate into something far worse.
The New York Times (NYT) reported that Gen. Tod D. Wolters, the head of U.S. European Command (EUCOM) raised the watch level after four Ukrainian troops were killed in recent fighting in the Donetsk region and Russian troops deployed to the border region between Russia and Ukraine for an apparent set of military drills, but an estimated Russian 4,000 troops failed to leave when the drills ended on March 23.
Russia often uses military drills near Ukraine’s borders to send a message to both the Ukrainian government and other western nations. In February, the Russian military announced it would be holding two major airborne exercises with paratrooper drops in Crimea in March that many saw as telegraphing a fresh Russian incursion.
The target this time, according to the NYT: “water canals supplying Crimea from the Dnieper River in Ukraine.”
Retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Frederick B. Hodges, the former commanding general of U.S. Army Europe, and now with the Center for European Policy Analysis was quoted by the NYT as saying: “This could be posturing, but the Kremlin is testing the new administration,” adding that Russia has “zero interest” in reaching a peaceful outcome with Ukraine as it prefers to keep the country destabilized as much as possible.

ALL of our Allies who knew that America had their backs in any conflict must now be wondering what the hell is going to happen not only in Europe but throughout the world with the Biden Socialist Regime in power. Our Enemies, Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Iran, and of course the Communist Chinese Party all know what to expect, the Biden Regime will do NOTHING. OK That’s not quite true, what the Biden Socialist Regime will do is anything it takes to appease these dictatorships and of course whatever it takes to make even More Money for the Biden Crime Family. Under President Trump, it was “Make America Great Again,” Under Biden, it is, “The Hell With America, Make My Bank Account Great Again.” The Democratic Party, The Best Government Money Can Buy.
Less than three months into this idiot’s presidency – after his training under Obama, Biteme will probably draw a red line and then send MREs and blankets to Ukraine.

Joe Biden and his administration is seen as extremely weak politically, and morally by the world’s foreign leadership. The world’s anti American leadership (especially Russia and China) will, and have been challenging this administration, in various ways, to determine just how weak they are. It will continue, and probably get more intense. Just where is Donald Trump when we really need him??
Whatever test they put before illegitimate joe, it is sure he will fail as he has failed for 50 years on the teat of the US taxpayer.
Better for a face off with Russia now,before joe biden cuts Trumps Military Buildup to the bone – – – Thanks to Trumps Buildup of N.A.T.O we need to give Russia a Bloody Nose !
I personally don’t believe there will be open fighting, because I feel that an agreement has
already been agreed upon.We’re going to be sold out to the Russian war machine.
Biden will be removed because of medical reasons, he will not be able to control whoever is commanding our government and our military
forces.
Why are, “We THE PEOPLE” sitting back, as if
nothing is wrong, but the truth is, everything is wrong.
Biden has 24 states now under Red Flag Law, how many more will fall, when will those who talk of our rights will finally sound off, we need directions, knowledge, leaders.
I feel bad, but I believe the time is drawing closer…..,,. God help us all, God bless America.
Who is Obiden rooting for in that conflict? Follow the money.
