Biden Readies Thousands of Troops for Deployment
Last night we learned that President Joe Biden has ordered 3,000 U.S. troops to be deployed to Europe. Exactly where they’re headed and what the purpose will be, we don’t know. But we know right now the only major war in the world is happening right now in Eastern Europe between Ukraine and Russia. Is Biden about to involve us in that conflict, and if so, are we prepared for the consequences of such a decision?
President Biden on Thursday authorized the Pentagon to tap up to 3,000 reservists for deployment to Europe to augment U.S. troops there in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve.
Biden’s order authorizes the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security to send active duty units and individual members who are assigned to a unit of the Selected Reserve or any member of the Individual Ready Reserve.
Units deployed are not to exceed more than 3,000 total members at one time, of whom not more than 450 may be members of the Individual Ready Reserve, the order said.
The order comes on the heels of the president’s five-day trip to Europe, which wound through the U.K., Lithuania and Finland. The trip was meant to demonstrate the force of the international coalition against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. And Biden appeared confident he had accomplished that mission, proclaiming that he and other NATO leaders showed the military alliance “more united than ever.”
The announcement of Biden calling up reservists to Europe comes just days after we reported that the President agreed to send cluster bombs, F-16s, and high-tech missile systems to Ukraine to aid in the war against Russia, drawing the ire of Vladimir Putin.
What’s also confusing here is that during a speech in Finland yesterday, President Biden stated that “Putin’s already lost the war.” I’m sorry, come again? If Putin has already lost, please explain why we need to send 3,000 troops to Europe. What else is going on? And let’s not forget that President Biden just told the world that the U.S. military is running out of ammunition.
Clearly, this war is not over yet. I’d bet if you asked the people of Ukraine, they’d tell you it’s not even close to ending. It’s very unclear what Biden’s strategy is here, but based on what we recently learned about his failed Afghanistan plan, we’re certainly not going to be sleeping well as Biden continues to involve the U.S. in what feels like another endless war, poking the bear, so to speak, in the process.
Today’s full Sekulow broadcast includes more analysis of this latest announcement from President Biden that he has ordered some 3,000 troops to be sent to Europe – without much detail as to why. We’re also joined by ACLJ Senior Advisor and former Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell, who offers his reaction to Biden’s move.
