The United States is sending 2,000 additional soldiers to Europe and repositioning another 1,000 from Germany to Romania to ensure the “robust defence” of European NATO members, the Pentagon has said, amid the ongoing impasse between Russia and Ukraine.
US Department of Defense spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Wednesday that the troop deployment would take place in the coming days. He said it is separate from, and in addition to, the 8,500 soldiers that the Pentagon put on heightened alert last week.

#Ukraine #RussiaUkraineTensions #USArmy
Go back to your f*cking country !!!!!! All that you are after is money and you want to sacrifice small countries like my country Romania in the name of war with Russia!
No place for deployment of troops in middle east or other place so creating fake account to deploy in Russia borders
Juat go war and change the whole world!
Nothing will stop Putin because United States have given him a good reason to invade Ukraine now.
Today or tomorrow Europe will be Battlefield.
Just like middle east is with so many conflicts,right??
@Theresa Omari Yes
all womans talking about war, like war belongs to womans, WHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH this world is crazy, men destroyd its own gender
MR. PUTIN, PLEASE BACK OFF NO TO WAR! SPARE THE LIFE OF THE PEOPLE AND THE SOLDIERS.
You should be telling the west this
Take your caps lock off.
Stop NATO expansion then.
Tell the west to go back to their own yard, eastern europe is not US backyard so they need to leave. Imagine if Mexico or Canada become Russia’s backyard would US do the same thing like Russia told to?
The US warmongers are at work again…
Whatever happened to diplomacy?????
Fight fight fight lets see whos stronger…
so now they will turn ukraine the next syria and libya. GOG and MOGOG
US is not longer the world police so much of howmanship with emptyness
In the end NATO will sacrifice Ukraine to Russia. A lot of the troop movement stuff is just show for public consumption.
Pentagon the most liar in the world..
THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE WILL RISE!!!
If America and its allies are truly standing for democracy and justice why haven’t they resolved importantly the problem of Palestine and Yemen until now? Why not America stop killing children and civilians in Syria under the pretext of security concern. It is disturbing to hear the misalle attack which killed six children and six other women and men yesterday. The blood of many is always on hands of the American presidents. God Almighty is mindful of all these unparalleled inhumane actions of these transgressors.
It is unfortunate! I hoped Biden would bring at least a mild justice to the world.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 evil Uncle Sam I’ve now realized that their plan it’s not going to work on Russia I hope now it’s very clear to many many countries and people the US evil Zionist regime have PhD in hypocrisy and lying against Russia an countries they want to see destroy poor Ukraine wake up Russia is not your enemy
How about a game of chess instead?? These civilians living there must be terrified…
Too bad, I was hoping for WW3
Good..!
Biden is a war criminal.
Now we know why usa pulled troops from Afghanistan. USA wants ww3
USA want is so badly this invading to happpen,
I think the People of Ukraine should Vote on what they want… I remember seeing Videos with Ukrainian welcome Russia….
Seems like US already invaded ukraine 😂
Usa and nato is a gosh they make the world cry
US and western get ready to invading russia..
Ukraine finds itself at the front line of defending freedom and democracy, not by choice but by geography. I am impressed with the way that Ukraine is standing up for its beliefs against a country that is so much stronger in military terms. It has been the target of so many attacks from Russia in the form of subversion, propaganda, hacking, and even having some of its territory taken. Ukraine is standing up for the free world not just for its own survival. Instead of living in the past, like Putin seems to be doing, it is a nation of people who are looking to a future full of promise. Our world would be a much better place for everyone, if it did not have autocratic governments such as in Russia and China. The world could advance so much further if we didn’t have to deal with the petty pride and egoism of politicians. Thank you Ukraine for standing up for what is right for the people, i.e. freedom and democracy, against a Russian government which mistreats its own people and is intent on reclaiming the nations who were part of the USSR. It seems that while much of the world has matured beyond such ridiculous behaviour, some people such as Putin have not.
Putin saves the world
> A westerner praising Ukraine
> Lying about Russia and our people being “mistreated”
> Praising “freedom and democracy”
> Ciritsizing China and Russia
> Forgetting that USA and NATO have invaded most of the countries since 1991…
🤡🤡🤡
Chinese from China here. Can you stop your bullshit balabalabala, just act like a real man and go to the battlefield to fight for your so called value?
So you really want your world to be better? Okay, just do something like the Americans genecided the Native Americans 200 years ago, and you earned the North America soil!
Let these troops come .I guarantee that they will go home in body bags .
I hope Russia sets up its missiles in Venezuela
Um does America know the war is in Ukraine not in Poland lol
Big deal 3000 little troops to.
Ukraine is toast and stupid.
‘Near’ Ukraine’s border. Everybody says that, but so far no one has defined just what they mean by ‘near’. Are the troop’s toes right on the borderline? Or are they 100 mi. away? Also, there are those sat photos of camps or fields of trucks, tanks, whatever. When did these first appear at those sites? Last week, or last year? Too little precision in these descriptions leads me to suspect that the newsmedia don’t really know what they are talking about and are unfortunately reprinting what government sources are handing out, which of course can’t be trusted without independent verification. Let’s see a talking correspondent standing in a Ukrainian field with Russian trucks and tanks in the backdrop. Or on the Russian side, with Russian troops waiting to go. Is that really so hard to do? If it’s not allowed, then why not? Is there a big secret about what everybody claims is indisputable fact? I’m getting tired about all this hand-waving evasiveness, I really am.
They have had 50k troops “near” The ukrainian border for YEARS. And as far as I know we are talking about at least 50-100km from the actual border. The Ukrainian president even told the US to Shut up (not in those words) cause there were No bigger threat now then it was in 2010, 2014, 2018, 2020 or now.
@Mads Gismerica The Ukraine president ask Biden to stop saying the attack was imminent because it was hurting their economy… not that Russia wasn’t a threat. In the same speech he warned Russia that Ukraine will fight back and kill as many Russian invaders as it can.
media outlets brandishing American lies because of Russian dorminant oil and gas market in Europe
Eastern Europe. The next Afghanistan.
Fake news, Democrat lies.
this is the battle of control of Africa and the middle east it going down in Ukraine don’t say i did’nt tell you.
Thid USA is the demons hu love war they are like gasoline to the world to have there War this american love so Much war.
The US armed forces are in their lowest morale, at this time…..racial.chaos, economic collapse, political instability, sky-high inflation, unemployment, homelessness, pandemic mismanagement, trade wars, supply chain woes, general population discontent, opioid addiction, a $31 trillion national debt…..times have changed, fortunes have reversed.
Formidable enough is Russia, with a competent leader, now it is publicly backed by an even more formidable superpower, rich beyond measure, technically more advanced, with a strong, disciplined, possibly, a lifetime president….
And Biden has less than 3 years left in office, with.a 35% approval.rating, and a bankrupt economy, and no allies except, the five eyes, India and Japan…
NO COUNTRY HAVE RIGHT TO OCCUPY OTHER COUNTRY WITHOUT HAVING THE CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES.
True but who holds them accountable?
Look at human’s history. All occupation. Thats the Nature of humans. America is the best example.
America trolling again
Screw US
@AlJazeera why don’t you report on recent attack in Balochistan in which more than100 pakistani soldiers have been killed.
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
I just don’t like it when our black people in america are going to the war that are not theirs,I hate it
Putin can get 5 Million Chinese troops with no problems , to the Ukraine,
China taking tai wan then Kashmir….
American presidents aren’t themselves without going to war, tearing down humanity with bombs.
the Nato didnt matter to Trump.
STAND WITH UKRAINE
Just another boring unboxing video.
America is a donkey 🐴🐎 always kiks back 😂for no reason
tks so much nato for the Mission of protecting peace n stability in ukraine, in Europe, in east sea n democracy throughout the World.
we love ukrainean people n we really admire the ukrainean people who are ready to fight, n ready to die to protect its territory sovereignty against the enemy, the aggressor …this is similar to the vietnamese, the taiwanese…never scared.
putin, shoigu n lavrov..pls withdraw troops from ukraine immediately…the World loves peace n stability. we all don’t want war…n we never want war. you are making the World more dangerous and destructive. don’t push the World into mishap because of your selfishness n cruelty illusion.
1 RUSSIA🇷🇺 1 RULE🌎 MAY THE WORLD WITNESS THE WRAITH!!!🇷🇺🌎🇷🇺🌎🇷🇺🌎🇷🇺🌎🇷🇺🌎
This morning, USA murdered at least 12 women and children in northwest Syria (under pretext you were targeting jihadists).
What if they were just rebels against the US occupation of Syria? similar to Ukrainians that will rebel against “a Russian invasion”?
🤮🤮🤮🤮👎👎👎👎
Hydrogen bombs and nuclear war.
I feel like the irony here is that the talk of troops assembling/moving has been spoken of so much that it has manifested itself in the U.S doing all of the troop moving.
@JohnR88 What about Germany?
@Tuah Sakato not 170,000 if you include Belarus
@JohnR88 he forgot Japan and Manchuria 1939 too… duh….
@Drake Lang yo by that time there was no huge defense organization lead by a country that has the total sum of military spending bigger than the whole world combined, the only one that has ca. 800 military bases worldwide, topped by its aggresive and invasive foreign policy and have a tracked record in violating international law without getting any consequences.
I think you forgot that context, that’s important isn’t it?
@Tuah Sakato I think your cherry picking. Firstly Ukraine itself has voted to join European union and not go with Russia this was not a western wish. . 2) secondly 14,000 ukrainians have died the last 8 years I’m sure these numbers do not change or move you at all because you don’t really care how many people have died… do you? Are you Japanese? Your name is. 3) thirdly I can go on and on but the big one was 1930s Stalin hit starved at 7 million ukrainians at least how would you feel if you were Ukrainian? Or do you only want to support little slivers of facts that support the facist side that hates democracy? It seems your people liberation army or Internet research agency military heavy giving you only a small slice of the pizza of History shall we say and facts.
Vice president us..kamala Harus harus berjuang..jangan hanya bicara.

nato sind feiglinge
US is always involved in other countries problem. They wanted to be global police and dominate the world. 😅
Chinese army is coming soon 300 thousand troops
Anwar don’t go near that region America is hacking every smart phone and listening into every call and watching every text message. You’ll get no privacy.
The US is ratcheting up tensions for a situation that is just in Joe Bidens head.
Dude, America has hack every cell phone in the Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus. There watching it with a lot of satellites and drones. They processing an enormous amount of data. I hope your not in Eastern Europe Hammer because listening to your phone and text messages.
@Marc Temura Their doing this all over the world, with a political motive.
@hammer 5505 No hammer, look at what their doing the Russians. They genuinely scared of the US. Why? because the US is listen in to Russians communications and it is scaring them.
@hammer 5505 Even Russian soldiers don’t trust their own smart phone because America is listening and watching all their text messages.
Its is enough! UN.
don’t make the wars again.please!
su.kers from UN!
Let’s Stop the weapon productions from big countries!🤷♂️
if you really want the World peace!
Plz…don’t make wars again and again!
bcoz all of we are human beings.
you don’t need to work for other people needed!
if you really need to do for human beings,please speech out “stop the weapon productions around the World!✌️
🆘
The US should just stop bluffing. The whole world outside the racist west and US vassal states know that the US is the bad guy here. Ukraine’s president has said in no uncertain terms that Russia was not the main problem, and Ukrainians don’t see an immiment Russian attack. Yet, the US is keepimg up tensions. It’s the US that wants war.
I don’t think NATO is bluffing. I do think that Russians are having a hard time getting a lot of their equipment to work properly. You normally don’t stay out this long not with satellites and drones watching your every move. The Russians are totally giving away their positions. That not good. The American and Ukrainian can see all their position longer they wait.
1:00 too bad Ukraine isn’t a part of NATO.
Great !!! BIG WAR is coming soon !!!
I don’t think so, think the Russia are having a hard time with there equipment.
US War Mongering Is Threatening World Peace
Europe: a colony of America.
May God be with you all out there 🙏🙏
“This night for the first time Polish regular soldiers fired on our territory. Since 5.45 A.M. we have been returning the fire, and from now on bombs will be met by bombs. Whoever fight with poison gas will be fought with poison gas. Whoever departs from the rules of humane warfare can only expect that we shall do the same. I will continue this struggle, no matter against whom, until the safety of the Reich and its rights are secured.”
— Address by Adolf Hitler, Chancellor of the Reich, before the Reichstag, September 1, 1939.
In Biden’s void brain this is called de escalation of a situation.
Don’t worry Allen, I think the Russian are having a hard time with getting the equipment to work right now.
It’s difficult for the people of the West to see reality when their governments and MSM are colluding in spinning false narratives to confuse and deceive them. Ukraine is an MSM red herring misleading the American people. The corporate fascists of the USA and their UK/NATO minions are the core issue. After three decades of inflicting terrorism and carnage on defenceless peoples, Libya, Syria Afghanistan, Iraq to name but a few, this US/UK/NATO club of criminal wardogs is finally on meltdown. Right now containment and damage control must be Russia’s and China’s main concern. Attention not to be drawn into the mechanics of the meltdown is their prerogative. France and Germany must distance themselves from this club as the meltdown takes its course. A new democratic USA is waiting to be born once these current US/UK/NATO wardogs are neutered and all their political minions are removed from holding office forever. NATO must be DISBANDED. Its wardogs are insane. My book FROM BABYLON TO HERE is an in-depth analysis of the rot in their mindset. If we in the West fail to wise up, karma most horrific will descend upon us.
Warmongers created war in foreign countries
Such troops try to provoke Russia. Russia will send troops to Cuba to fight back. Then direct confrontation, then USA looses. Why? The bad will always loose.
After destroying earth environment, they run back into war, who taking responsibility to climate change, Leeches.
Don’t worry, Sabrini. Think the Russian are having hard time with some there equipment. Only 60% of Russian army is modernize. But not all of the equipment is good working order.
All sides need to back down before somebody starts WW3.
Idiots! Always looking to create a war and make money out of that!
What could US do against Russia
Где же мы их хоронить всех будем?
Where are we going to bury them all?
Usa was arguing with iran not long ago,few months ago Taliban and isis, few weeks ago china, and now Russia? What’s going on in your mind?. You are all over the place. You are making a fool out of yourself.
Romania?? Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Carpathian Forest. Vlad Drakul Castle on top of The Hill.
Russia hybrid warfare! Never knew there are alot of fifth columnists among liberal democracies !
Russia put messial in cuba
He says “ we have a strong respect for nato rules, you attack one and you attack all” and yet Ukraine is not in the nato
Gotta love the thumbnail
I see Emma up front 😂
May god bless United States 🇺🇸 your brother from Canada 🇨🇦
