United States reacts "positively" to Ukraine request for troops, but has not committed to sending troops yet.

Russia says it will respond to NATO troops in Ukraine.

The danger is not what Russia plans to do or not do in Ukraine. It is what Nato THINKS Russia is going to do, what Nato does in response, and how Russia will respond to the response.

Correction: U.S. will respond "positively" to "eastern flank allies" for additional forces. Earlier, it was reported that the positive response would be to Ukraine's request.

The DEFCON Warning System's primary mission is to warn the public of the possibility of nuclear attack. All information that comes out of DWS...good or bad...is related to that mission statement.

Contrary to reports that are circulating in some circles, we are not "two steps" from nuclear war. #FakeNews

United States says it will not send troops to Ukraine.
