Russian Military Buildup Grows, Biden Deploys 3,000 US Troops

President Joe Biden is sending thousands of troops to Eastern Europe while Vladimir Putin adds to Russia’s military presence along the Ukrainian border. New satellite photos show Moscow’s military buildup keeps accelerating. "We do not know if Russia has made a final decision to further invade Ukraine, but it clearly has that capability,” says Pentagon press secretary John Kirby. NBC’s Peter Alexander reports for TODAY from the White House.

I mean no disrespect but Biden is the last person in the world that I would want to be sending troops anywhere after how he handled Afghanistan!!!!

[swampdog]

Well after Biden handled Afghanistan what else could wrong lol 😂 you guys voted for this …. Sad day for America

[briandeluca]

So fast to send of forces to interfere with somebody else’s business, after just leaving Americans behind. It’s kinda like they’re lying to us about what’s going on and just antagonizing.

1.9 million illegal immigrants were apprehended at the southern border in 2021. That’s larger than the population of San Antonio. 2000 troops to Ukraine

I pray the troops stay far away from the fight while Brandon is in charge.

Funny how all they have to show of these "100, 000+ troops" are the same couple of photos of a small

[papawheelie]

If we didn't want war, why did we vote for another warmonger? ❓

[noway]

Better off if they were sent to the United States southern border

[jerichoicho]

imagine mexico become Russia's allies, what putin asked is reasonable if u see it from that perspective

[..feb.]

Send those 3000 troops to the southern border! Secure your own borders first before you worry about others'!

[commonsmatter]

Respond??? the us is pushing boundaries and won't let it go

Germany deployed 3 million in WW2 and lost. This report is stupid and irresponsible. You obviously don't know about the history of European invasions of Russia.

[frankpeletz]

First Joe said "NO TROOPS" would be sent, then it was 1, 000 followed by 2, 000 .The number is now 3, 000, tomorrow it will be even higher and continue to grow, LBJ lives again.

[mitchmouers]

Putin just turn the gas off to Germany. Game over.

[TheJooshIsLoose]

is Russia trying to go to war with Ukraine orrrr are we trying to go to war against Russia.... Let's go Brandon

[Kilroy]

Can we please hold off on any war until we get someone competent in the White House…

[bigfundonttrip]

3000 troops for evacuation purposes 😂🙄

[saleemimalikimusawwirbey]

What doesn't he (Biden): send troops to his own border to protect the American people?
