Unless I hear differently, I'm going to go ahead and assume they all want this.

Moving our troops out would make sense.

Is it safe to assume that they will not volunteer themselves, or their children / grandchildren???

WE DON’T HAVE ANY MORE MONEY. WE DON’T HAVE ANY MORE FUEL. EUROPE HAS TO TAKE CARE OF ITSELF.

“Congress wants more troops in Europe...”

At least they’re not sneaking effeminately away to Canada.

So when do the anti-war protests start?

With Biden’s approval numbers so low...

They are pushing for war. That Ukraine has lost and should have surrendered months ago.

I don’t believe it! We need to stay away from the fray. It’s a European problem, let them handle it. The mother Eagle at some point pushes the eaglet out of the nest and lets it fly on its own.

The Ukraine war is a gift to the rats. They want it to drag on and on.

Trump warned them. The deep state drove him out, arranged a puppet as President and reversed everything he did, and then some.

Our border is where our military should be.

Our country is being invaded and that is what we have a military for.
