By ordering the deployment of 3,000 more reservists to Europe,
US President Joe Biden is preparing to fight Russian forces on the
ground in Ukraine, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. has said.
Biden has lost his way, Kennedy tweeted on Friday, arguing that
the president should focus on Americas domestic problems instead of
trying to achieve global military dominance.
I want people to understand what this troop mobilization is
about. Its about preparing for a ground war with Russia, he
said.
The idea of defeating Moscow in its conflict with Kiev is a
futile geopolitical fantasy of the Biden administration, the
Democratic presidential candidate added.
Thousands of Ukrainians have already lost their lives because
Americas foreign policy establishment manipulated their country
into war Now, rather than acknowledge failure, Biden admin prepares
to sacrifice American lives too, Kennedy said.
On Thursday, Biden signed an executive order mobilizing 3,000
members of the US militarys Selected Reserve to boost the ranks of
Operation Atlantic Resolve, which Washington launched in Europe in
2014 after Crimea rejoined Russia following the Western-backed coup
in Kiev.
According to Army Lieutenant General Douglas Sims, the Joint
Staff director of operations, the move reaffirms the unwavering
[US] support and commitment to defend NATOs eastern flank in the
wake of Russias military operation in Ukraine.
The US European Command (EUCOM) spokesman, Navy Captain Bill
Speaks, said the deployment of reservists will not change current
force-posture levels in Europe.
The leading Republican presidential candidate, former President
Donald Trump, also had some harsh words to say about Bidens
decision to send more American troops to Europe. The reckless
escalation in Ukraine pursued by the White House is straining the
US military to the point of disaster, he said.
Joe Biden cant even walk up the steps of Air Force One without
tripping. The last thing this incompetent administration should be
doing is pushing us further toward World War III.
Trump reiterated his earlier claim that if he becomes president
again, he would end the conflict in Ukraine in 24 hours. Not one
American mother or father wants to send their child to die in
Eastern Europe. We must have peace.
Another Republican presidential candidate, Vivek Ramaswamy, said
it is downright disturbing that the US media is largely ignoring
the presidents order in its reporting. What is the justification
now [for sending reservists to Europe]? What are the operations?
Where will they go? What will they do? We need answers, not
sweeping this under the rug as Biden would prefer, Ramaswamy said
