 US commander acknowledges Biden failed to deter Russia from invading Ukraine

OBIDEN THE BOLD FACED LIAR

Gen. Tod Wolters, the head of U.S. European Command, admitted that the Biden administration’s attempts to deter a Russian invasion of Ukraine did not work.

Wolters, who testified in front of the House Armed Services Committee on Wednesday along with Dr. Celeste Wallander, the assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs, provided committee members with an updated overview of the situation in Ukraine and its overarching effect on the United States and NATO itself.

Upon questioning from Rep. Mike Gallagher, the general said he was a part of an interagency attempt to deter Russia from invading.

“Would it be fair to say that deterrence failed in Ukraine?” the lawmaker asked, to which Wolters responded, “Number one, I would say that NATO’s solidarity remained,” before Gallagher cut him off, demanding a direct answer.

“I can’t argue with your conclusions,” Wolters acknowledged.

Wolters had testified in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, sharing his belief that the U.S. will likely need to deploy additional troops to Europe in the wake of Russia’s invasion.

“I think what we need to do from a U.S. force perspective is look at what takes place in Europe following the completion of the Ukraine-Russia scenario and examine the European contributions, and based off the breadth and depth of the European contributions, be prepared to adjust the U.S. contributions,” Wolters testified. “And my suspicion is we’re going to still need more.”
