World war three is brewing -
US sends more troops to Russia’s borders, weighs sending anti-aircraft systems

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered the deployment of an additional 500 troops to Eastern Europe, amid mounting demands in the US media for a more direct military intervention by the United States against Russia.

The announcement, made public by the Pentagon on Monday, brings the total number of US troops deployed to NATO countries in Eastern Europe to 14,500, spread from Estonia and Latvia on Russia’s border, through Romania in Southern Europe.

The Pentagon revealed that Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, last week went to(CNN,) an “undisclosed airfield near the Ukrainian border that has become a hub for shipping weapons,” to supervise firsthand the running of weapons into the country.

“The most likely systems that could be deployed by the US are likely to be the Patriot and the THAAD (Terminal High Altitude Area Defense) system.”

The announcement that the Pentagon is “considering” stationing these anti-aircraft systems in NATO territories adjacent to Ukraine comes as demands grow from figures within both US parties and the military for the imposition of a no-fly zone over Ukraine, which would be an effective declaration of war with Russia.
