Should President Biden ask our NATO allies to move forward with Defender 2022 as soon as possible?

The US Military (Active, Guard and Reserve) have sent units to Europe since 2020. One of the many exercises is called Defender. It is a mini version of the REFORGER (Return to Forces Germany) from 1969-1993.
Defender 2022 is having its final planning conferences about now. I believe NATO should work together and get it going, NOW!
Russia has two Army Corps (About 6 Divisions) next to the Ukraine Border.
NATO has a QRF/quick reaction force made up of 40K soldiers from all over NATO but I believe we should lead by example instead of leading by the rear as we have since Biden was sworn in. President Biden gave
green light to the Nordsteam 2 pipeline so
Russia will soon be able to pay for the expensive cost of this planned invasion thanks to our POTUS.

Last week, Democrats used the 'racist' filibuster to stop Senator Ted Cruz and 54 Senators from passing the motion to tell POTUS Biden to kill the pipeline deal. Just imagine how angry Democrats would have been if President Trump approved the pipeline in 2020? He would be accused of 'Russian Collusion'. Much to my dismay, POTUS Biden approves what former PresidentTrump stopped and nobody in the media and no Democrats care that POTUS Biden is our America Last President. I am not surprised they won't impeach him for that Nordsteam 2 giveaway alone. Animal Farm Democrats. POTUS Trump scolded NATO for not putting 2% toward defense and some actually listened and found the money. Most of the former Warsaw pact NATO members also put up 2% of GDP towards defense. President Biden came in last year and said 'America's Back' and now when times are tough, Biden gives in to Puntin with a pipeline and his party stops Republicans and some smart Democrats from passing a bill with an override. Biden puts America Last now. Why won't anybody accuse POTUS Biden of Russian Collusion?

Maybe it is under way already? At least three transports left in three days time maybe a week to 10 days ago, so troops and/or equipment were being transported somewhere.

My friend LTC Private RallyPoint Member i would recommend officially notifying Vladimir Putin if the Russians would not back off from Ukraine border, we would push forward with the "Defender 2022 exercise/partial mobilization."

The simple quick thing, would be for NATO to admit Ukraine immediately to NATO, and stop the pipeline work immediately. What I see going on so reminds me of 1938-1939. And we are all acting like Chamberlain, acting like diplomacy and sanctions will stop this.

I truly hope no one selects the "cut them loose" option. I get the impression a lot of people are unaware of our signed agreements with Ukraine when it comes to defense issues.

The iron Curtain was rolled up and now is being shook out for use again. Perhaps we should shut down support for that pipeline and renew our pipeline's support.

I wouldn't be opposed to Defender 22, hope I could jump on. I was slated for Defender 20 but it got cancelled due to COVID. Our ADVON got stuck in Germany without us and our gear even longer.

Stopping anything in the works or in planning is a victory for Putin.

One of my options is "send no troops, climate change is a bigger threat?" WTF does that even mean?
Ukraine is of no strategic value to us. Why are we so worried about it (besides the fact they gave Hunter Biden his first no-show job)? Let western Europe worry about it.

I would say that we should postpone the exercise and make a more serious attempt at deescalating the situation, but I think we've already gone past the point of no return. Also, I don't think our current leadership fully grasps the situation and dealing like Russia and China like they were a couple third world nations is only going to hasten our defeat. Our fate is in God's hands now.
