The threat of a Russian invasion into Ukraine continues to escalate. Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent more than 100,000 troops and weaponry to prepare for an invasion. Now, in reactionary mode, President Biden is considering deploying United States troops to NATO allies in Eastern Europe. This comes at a time when Russia is conducting live military drills off the coast of Ireland. Overall, this was a failure of diplomacy from the Biden Administration, and it has put us in a dangerous situation regarding national security.
