Never let a crisis go to waste. “We will continue to stand with the people of Ukraine as they defend their freedom and independence with extraordinary courage and boundless determination,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.<\/p>\n

Cool, Tony. You mean we will continue to dump billions of tax dollars into a black hole. I suppose a strategy with an end game is too much to ask for. So…
\nSince a hot war has broken out and Vlad is threatening to use nukes, this would be a great time to send in the 101st Airborne. For training, ya know. Poetrooper sends.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne is practicing for war with Russia just miles from Ukraine’s border<\/h3>\n

Mihail Kogalniceanu, Romania \u2014 The U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division has been deployed to Europe for the first time in almost 80 years amid soaring tension between Russia and the American-led NATO military alliance. The light infantry unit, nicknamed the “Screaming Eagles,” is trained to deploy on any battlefield in the world within hours, ready to fight.<\/p>\n

CBS News joined the division’s Deputy Commander, Brigadier General John Lubas, and Colonel Edwin Matthaidess, Commander of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, on a Black Hawk helicopter for the hour-long ride to the very edge of NATO territory \u2014 only around three miles from Romania’s border with Ukraine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Got it, Vlad’s a bad actor and Russia has invaded a European neighbor. SecState Milquetoast’s rhetoric doesn’t exactly inspire and there is no cogent plan to end the conflict. If the Progs are suddenly worried about the economy (stupid), what do you suppose the markets will do when Vlad opens a basket of sunshine over the Black Sea? Better question, what will Joe’s Handlers do with the 101st?
