BREAKING: Up to 8,500 US troops on alert over Ukraine crisis

As many as 8,500 US forces are on "heightened alert" for potential deployment to eastern Europe as 
growing tensions between Washington and Moscow over Ukraine, the Pentagon announced Monday.

Defense Department press secretary and Democratic puppet, John Kirby at his regular briefing made it clear that no final decision was yet made about whether to deploy our troops as part of a NATO response force (NRF) as part of the 40,000 that would constitute the NATO's military response to Russia should they invade Ukraine.

This appears to be Biden's way of distracting the American public from the consistently poor job he is doing here at home. The administration is calling for the evacuation of the US embassy in Ukraine, and those Americans not on the government payroll are asked to leave but they are on their own to find a way out.

Doesn't this embassy evacuation remind you a little bit of another one? Oh yeah, Afghanistan. That two evacuations by our embassies in one year. Great job, Joe.

It's horrible to think that Biden would get us into a shooting war with Russia just to help his poll numbers, but let's not put it past him.

“We’ll continue to provide updates in the coming days about these decisions,” Kirby said, inspiring great confidence in people who eat Tide pods. “But specifically this will ensure that the United States and our commitment to the NRF has – is consistent with their readiness for rapid deployment again, if activated.”

Kirby clarified that the troops would likely be considered “ground forces,” [aka grunts]. The NRF can only be activated by NATO rather than President Biden who cannot be trusted to activate an Alka Seltzer tablet in a gallon of water.

“It is our contribution to the response force,” Kirby said, “and we want to make sure that they’re ready to go.”

Meanwhile, Putin is shaking in his shoes over Biden's threats, but let's not forget that while he's a scummy dictator, he's certainly no Corn Pop.

Here they go again: Taliban captures 3 more provincial capitals, totaling 6

Islamabad -- The radical Sunni movement [radical in that they follow the teachings of their prophet Mohammad to the letter] known as the Taliban, continues to capture more provincial capitals in Afghanistan. On Monday morning they captured a sixth, known as Samangan. They did so without a fight after community elders pleaded with their leaders to spare the city from more violence after weeks of intense fighting on the outskirts, according to Samanani deputy governor of the province.

The Taliban were now in "full control and their spokes terrorist confirmed the city had been won by them.

“The governor accepted and withdrew all the forces from the city,” Samangani added, saying the Taliban were now in “full control.”

A Taliban spokesman confirmed the city had been taken.

On Sunday evening, after expelling government forces, the Taliban entered Taloqan, the capital of Takhar province, and hoisted its flag over the main square of the country’s seventh-largest city. No rainbow flags flew that day and nobody in the capital took a knee as the flag was hoisted.

So here's the score: over the past three days, the Taliban [pronounced by former President Barack Obama as "Tahleebahn" and Pakistan as "Pahkeestahn"] has taken control of capitals Zaranj, Sheberghan, Kunduz, and Sar-e-Pol.

The capture of Kunduz, the country’s sixth-largest city, is the biggest score so far for the Taliban.

Meanwhile, multiple rockets were fired at Kandahar International Airport on Saturday and Sunday, which Biden responded to by mumbling something about gun control and ice cream flavors.

It's the fifth time in three weeks that the airport has come under rocket fire. Fighting between the Taliban and Afghan security forces continues in Kandahar, Herat and Lashkar Gah.

It looks like Biden's plan to make peace with the Taliban is working. Just leave and let them have at it and they'll leave us alone.
