After President JoeBiden’s visit to Poland, some American troops deployed to Poland were left wondering what rhetorical glitch would come next. 'The president said some crazy things.'
Biden had traveled to the continent to marshal trans-Atlantic leaders on a strategy to punish Russia’s war in Ukraine, with a promise not to draw Western troops into the conflict. On his return to Washington, hand clasped around a notecard of talking points, the president would insist that nine errant words heard by the world as calling for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ouster were no expression of U.S. policy.
The White House later clarified that the U.S. would not use chemical weapons after Biden’s ambiguous wording sparked confusion. The five airborne soldiers said they had been in Poland since the week before Valentine’s Day. Asked when they would be leaving, one explained that they didn’t know.Service members from the 82nd and 101st airborne divisions and 18th Airborne Corps headquarters were sent to Europe in early February to deter Russia, which had massed roughly 150,000 troops on Ukraine’s border. Other units have had their tours extended or have been repositioned in the area.
Biden said the U.S. was “helping train the Ukrainian troops that are in Poland” before adding, “I was referring to being with, and talking with, the Ukrainian troops that are in Poland.” “There are materials being provided to Ukrainians, but that’s just a ship — it comes in, and it moves out,” said McConville, according to Task and Purpose. “We are not training Ukrainians right now.”
