It is a moment of extreme urgency, for the reason that Putin may try to escalate, but also because Putin is on his heels economically.

When a member of the military raises their right hand, they know they're going to endure some hardship. But they should expect that our leaders should do everything possible to avoid additional hardship, not contribute to the hardship.

I doubt that Congress will approve, at this critical moment, reduction in force structure in Europe when Putin is more dangerous and threatening than ever.
