Biden admin weighs offering Russia cuts to U.S. troops in Eastern Europe

 via NBC News

    The Biden administration is heading into next week’s talks with Russia still unsure whether Moscow is serious about negotiations, but if so U.S. officials are ready to propose discussions on scaling back U.S. and Russian troop deployments and military exercises in Eastern Europe, a current administration official and two former U.S. national security officials familiar with the planning told NBC News.

    The discussions could potentially address the scope of military drills held by both powers, the number of U.S. troops stationed in the Baltic states and Poland, advance notice about the movement of forces, and Russia’s nuclear-capable Iskander missiles in the Russian territory of Kaliningrad between Poland and Lithuania, the sources said.

    With tens of thousands of Russian troops massed on Ukraine’s border, the Biden administration is threatening unprecedented sanctions and other tough steps if Russia takes military action against Ukraine. But the administration is also exploring ways to defuse tensions with Russia as U.S. officials prepare for a series of high-stakes discussions with Moscow starting Monday.

What an idiot.  Biden should be tripling our troop deployment in Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Romania.

But then again, Biden has already shown NATO that he doesn't give a damn about them.

This coup has just shown NATO in no uncertain terms that we won't backup if needed.  They are on their own.
