U.S. Deploys 7,000 More Troops to Europe: “America stands up to bullies. We stand up for freedom”

World War III may be unfolding after Russian troops launched an attack on Ukraine.

While the world has wondered what caused this attack, Ukraine’s foreign ministry said Russia’s intent was to destroy the state of Ukraine.

As the attack began, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned other countries that any attempt to interfere would “lead to consequences you have never seen in history.”

But if you know anything about the U.S., we don’t take threats lightly. In fact, President Biden decided to deploy troops to help Ukraine.

As of this morning, the U.S. has deployed 7,000 more troops to Europe.

President Biden announced the U.S. would deploy additional forces to Germany to help bolster the NATO alliance along the eastern flank.

“This aggression cannot go unanswered,” “America stands up to bullies. We stand up for freedom.”
