It's important to at least know what is going on in this country so that you make wise decisions in voting no matter what the source is. It affects our daily lives even if you don't vote so that you can plan your life accordingly. Sticking one's head in the sand says to me that one is in deep denial of the truth, a truth we should all care about. It's not that hard to find out what is truth and what is not.

This whole situation sucks big time.
Is martial law scheduled to disrupt elections?
I need to stock up on pet food.
What a bizarre statement. Would you feel the same way if Putin was invading the U.S.? You probably thought Hitler and Nazi Germany was not the bad guys either.

I don't see Russian cities being bombed and Russian civilians dying like the people in Ukraine. How do you support that?

If Biden was looking for a way for the D's to get crushed in November, he just hit the jackpot.

You don't care that the US is being invaded on the southern border?
You're not concerned about all the illegal transactions between Ukraine and the Bidens that have been going on for years?
Any coincidence that billions in US taxpayer money has been handed over to Ukraine?

You think Ukraine and our government are innocent?
You think the small number of Ukraine civilian casualties is worse than the millions that have died from the jab? If Russia wanted to kill civilians there would be a lot more dead.

The swamp is wagging the dog and heading the world into a nuclear disaster.
Hunter is a crackhead and Jeffery Epstein did not commit suicide. Our country is being run by pedophiles. Russia won't play the one world order game. They're not the bad guys.

Yes, Wikipedia says they have been there since June…

In June 2022, Headquarters, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, rotated in to the U.S. Army V Corps' mission to reinforce NATO’s eastern flank and engage in multinational exercises with partners across the European continent in order to reassure allies and deter further Russian aggression during its invasion of Ukraine. The 101st Soldiers deploying to Mihail Kogălniceanu in June did not represent additional U.S. forces in Europe, but are taking the place of Soldiers assigned to 82nd Airborne Division Headquarters and the 3rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division...

1. Congress obviously doesn't think the southern border is a major problem or they would've come up with a compromise solution by now.

2. No, I'm not concerned about any supposed illegal transactions between Ukraine and Hunter Biden. How do you know anything illegal took place? Did Tucker tell you?

3. We have provided billions in aid to Ukraine because they have been invaded by a hostile nation. The U.S. is doing the right thing.

4. Yes, I think Ukraine and out government are innocent. What would they be guilty of? Has Ukraine invaded or bombed innocent civilians in another country?

5. If you're referring to the Covid vaccine, very few people have died from it. Sounds like you're repeating Tucker again.

6. Your last paragraph is beyond belief, I don't know why I bothered responding to you. You really need to stop listening to Trucker and QAnon.

This is a normal forward deployment, along with other NATO countries and this has been happening long before the Ukraine crisis. These forward deployment shows a NATO commitment to NATO countries that are either bordered next to Russia or very near Russia, like Poland and now, the newest members Finland and Sweden.

President Obama and President Trump had visited our Troops that are stationed within these countries, this is nothing new or a threat to Russia. If we are honest, never had any NATO country invaded their neighbor and seized large area of land. These deployments are to send a message to Russia that any threats to a NATO country will be challenged immediately.

Plus, with the Russian beyond poor military response to their own invasion of the Ukraine, Russia isn’t a match with NATO, or even a NATO without the United States. Russia’s military might is in her nuclear forces since her conventional forces are not up to the task of a Soviet era massive invasion of Europe. Plus, Russia is getting a taste of superior NATO firepower, via by the hands of the Ukrainians and they’re not liking it one bit.

Even if Putin gives up, NATO/American forces will continue to deploy to Eastern Europe for at least the next decade and beyond.

With vegetable xoe at the wheel there's absolutely no chance of that happening.

Russia is asking the UN to investigate the US & Ukraine illegal weapons development in Ukraine.
