FL National Guard troops ordered out of Ukraine
To prove that they’re serious when Biden says he won’t send American troops into Ukraine to help American citizens (or for that matter Ukraine itself), SECDEF Austin has ordered the handful of troops we have in Ukraine to get out. They’re not just telegraphing that Putin should invade Ukraine, they’re standing at the border in traffic vests waving them in.
From Military Times;
The 160 soldiers of the Florida National Guard deployed to Ukraine since November have been ordered by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to leave Ukraine amid increasing concern of a Russian attack, according to Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.
The soldiers, assigned to the 53rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, have been ordered to reposition elsewhere in Europe, according to Kirby in a media release. They have been advising and mentoring Ukrainian forces as part of Joint Multinational Training Group-Ukraine.
Austin made this decision “out of an abundance of caution — with the safety and security of our personnel foremost in mind — and informed by the State Department’s guidance on U.S. personnel in Ukraine,” according to the media release.
“This repositioning does not signify a change in our determination to support Ukraine’s Armed Forces, but will provide flexibility in assuring allies and deterring aggression,” the release states.
Right….

So Biden and some of his idiots, kept saying Russia wouldn’t dare invade Ukraine.
Now it seems they are saying they will invade, that it’s just a matter of time.
He just can’t seem to remember, or make up his mind, what he thinks, says or does……
But he sure does seem to want to abandon them, and sit across the border in Poland and watch.
Just the opinion of an uneducated Air Force retiree!
“When in danger, when in doubt
run in circles, scream and shout”.
“Uuhhhm, I uhhh, uuhhm…” – Joe Biden
..with the uh, you know…that thing.
So the supreme ruler is worried about our southern border, correction, belay that last. It’s the ukraine he’s worried about.
The snot-headed pus-nuts no-load POS is only concerned about who offers him the best kickback.
‘out of an abundance of caution’?
SECDEF Austin = Pussy SECDEF.
My dear, that is only one way of covering one’s ass.
Worse. At this point I believe he’s working deliberately to make sure these things happen.
I’d be real curious as to see how Mr Austin and some of his other staff members are doing financially these days, and where all that extra income is coming from.
So let me see if I understand this idiocy: we’re sending a bunch of troops to Ukraine to face down Vlad’s troops, but we’re withdrawing people/troops sent there a short while ago.
Makes perfect sense when the decisions are made by an idiot.
How sweet to be an idiot
And dip my brain in jam….《●》
Strawberry..? Good one and most apres pos. Haven’t listened to any Neil Innes in years. Thanks for the reminder. 😉
Apricot, and the video of his (my favorite) song is attached. 🙂
Right, they’re all ending up in Poland.
Oh, and stupid me had to look at a map, to see that Poland borders Ukraine.
So all our troops will sit in Poland or other European locations and watch and see if they invade. Then what….? Are we going to try and evict them after they move in….?
I’m confused, back during the Cold War, which I know a lot of you were the Speed Bump. We served as a deterrence. Now it seems they want to watch from afar. The older I get the more confused I get!
Off my soap box and back to my time out corner!
Poland???? Oh, they’re doomed now, for sure!! Have you seen those Polish Army women lately?
Just looked them up, damn I can see a lot GIs wanting themselves some Polish brides……
Hell, I’d reenlist!
And I would’ve never left
And that’s the exact same picture I saw first. I rest my case!
And i was already married.
Made ya look, didn’t she? 😍
Guilty as charged……
I’m partial to the ladies who reenact the legendary Polish Winged Hussars.
Sweet Jesus…..Where do I sign up?
Yup. Whoa…
And this song supports my view.
Too bad a certain idiot is not “as harmless as a cow.”
Now, now, now we mustn’t think there’s any nefarious or sneaky moves on the part of prezzy sniffy. He’s just following the ideas set out by another scuzzy POS demonrat prez that said he didn’t want to send American Boys (and now girls) to do what Vietnamese (Ukrainian) Boys (and girls) should be doing. And I’m sure that, just like that past demonrat prezzy, prezzy sniffy will not be looking to consolidate any power, change the headlines, or make any profits from a company that he and his can send big fat grubermint contracts to for building or rebuilding. No way that a company that has a cereal manufacturers name buried like a brown root would stand by to help out. Not like that company made any money in the SWA Wars. Y’all act like there’s a bush hiding in an alphabet agency somewhere. What do you think this is, 1964? 🤑
Let’s pray the situation doesn’t deteriorate to the point where Biden gets really tough with Putin and calls him “A lying, dog-face pony soldier”. 😜 😜 😜

At least Brandon didn’t say ‘Buffalo Soldier’..
“They’re not just telegraphing that Putin should invade Ukraine, they’re standing at the border in traffic vests waving them in.”
I think you may be getting just a teensy bit hysterical.
Time will tell, won’t it.
And if that time comes, will you get a teensy bit hysterical when someone reminds you of this post?
Of course, snark is sometimes hard to get across in the printed word.
Nope.
You’re right.
Traffic vests are out, PT belts are in.
…he’s chickening out
He’s buggering off,
Joe Robinette ran away!
I have a niece-in-law from there, whose folks are still stuck in the Ukraine.
They were supposed to be coming to the US for the formal wedding, which was being delayed until they could get here.
This stupid abandoning of allies left and right is going to take decades to heal.
May God hold accountable all who are allowing or facilitating this fuster cluck.
Which allies?

A friend tells me MARAD has already started looking at their database of actively sailing mariners or those who still hold valid licenses to get an idea of what they’ve got to work with in the event they need to turbo activate transports. He hasn’t seen or heard of them doing that since the first gulf war.
Remember when people said that Trump would hand Ukraine over to Russia without a fight?
Pepperidge Farms remembers
Guess which areas Putin wants:
Thanks. I have been wondering.
All of them.
