ALL COMEDY IS CONSERVATIVE:

The State Department on Friday approved a long-awaited $6 billion deal to sell Poland 250 Abrams tanks, an announcement that comes as more U.S. troops and aircraft flood into the country in the face of a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced the deal early Friday while in a Warsaw press conference alongside his Polish counterpart Mariusz Blaszczak.

"What Mr. Putin did not want was a stronger NATO on his flank, and that's exactly what he has today," Austin said.
