The Pentagon has said around 8,500 combat-ready US troops are on high alert to deploy at short notice amid rising tension over Ukraine. However it made clear there are no plans to send forces to the country itself.
Russia has denied planning military action against Ukraine, despite massing 100,000 troops close to its border.
President Biden has held a video call with European allies as Western powers discuss a common strategy if Russia launches an invasion.
Some NATO members, including Denmark, Spain, Bulgaria and the Netherlands, are already sending fighter jets and warships to eastern Europe to bolster defences in the region.

""joe biden the us will not be involved in the combat"" preps us troops to get involved in the combat
It is indeed unfair invading and taking others' territories, I wonder why no one defended Mexico when the US took half of its territory…this is the American morality
Ukraine War NO !!!!
I hope every fellow American come home safely
Prime Minister: “Can we do boots on the ground?”
Defence Secretary: “I think so. We just can’t do the soldiers to fill them.”
British I wish war against
A bunch of cowards who are threatening with only sanctions. Will Putin starve after sanctions and surrender?
Deploy these soldiers to die for nothing. Go! Thank you so much, Biden.
usa is playing a game they always fight outside theyr theritory….if they attack russia they will see for the first time boombs raining from the sky….i dont want this
So why did Biden say he has no plans to swnd troops to help now that Russia is invading?????
If there dumb enough to fight for Biden coming for an Iraq vet. You can’t help stupid
She has balls
Lets hope its not the lot that left Afganistan in a hurry
Send 100k troops and an air umbrella to control the skies in the region
Send the wannabe-toy-soldiers who committed treason January 6th to fight in the Ukraine against TRUE FASCISM since they cannot tell the difference.
That was useless I guess
They are supposedly still on alert and will continue to be on alert till Russia takes over Ukraine.
I think they got the meaning of being alert wrong
Why your mother f**** and you're not showing #Kosova Independent country on a map??
Nobody stands a chance against our military , our tiktok skills are unmatched by anyone, as for war tho yeah we are doomed as well , biden is such a moron we havent even financially recovered from this covid issue and he wants to stick his nose where it doesnt belong not being financially stable to afford a war , if so be ready for $7+ a gallon of gas and $50 for a case of strawberries
Sign of WW3
US private security group deployed yet? The USA "other" military?
Good thing Biden sent them to Europe…🤣😂🤣😂
high alert is a waste of time
US should be assisting inside UKRAINE . No more time for high alert is .needed . Time for action .
Iraq Syria Vietnam Libya etc were given time for high alert
I don't care if there is a million US troops on the Ukraine border when they aren't being used to help they are useless being there
We should be helping Russia, did everyone forget what happened in Kyiv, Ukraine with the protests…well it never stopped. Ukraine people are tired of the corrupt government and the government police killed thousands of civilians. Putin wants to help Ukraines people and stabilize Ukraine itself. The news making putin to be a bad guy when he's the one fighting evil. #prayforrussia 🙏 why don't the people have a say in whether or not we send troops…we're the one that will take the damage. This is ridiculous, fuck the globalist
2013 kyiv, Ukraine is the root of all of this

Send them what they need . Implement no fly zone who cares what Russia or other countries think if it goes to ww3 let’s go I will be more than willing to fight . Better being a coward like Biden is doing an every other country just standing by while Russia kills kids an babies. Better to stand up fight then lie on back like a coward like our so called leader an chief is doing
