A top US General in Europe says that the Biden administration pulled US warships out of the Black Sea prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

General Tod Wolters made the comment while testifying on capitol hill. According to data we’ve obtained, the ships began leaving 11 days prior to the invasion (through the Bosporus strait).

Democrats are largely backing the news with the common message saying it was done to prevent a “world war” or military conflict with Russia.

Republicans are criticizing the news with the common message saying it makes the United States look weak and was an “open invitation” to Russia.
