Biden threatens Putin with sanctions over Ukraine

Tensions remained high after NATO said yesterday it was putting forces on standby and reinforcing eastern Europe with more ships and fighter jets in response to Russia's troop build-up near its border with Ukraine.

Mr Biden repeated that there were no plans to send US troops to Ukraine, which is not a NATO member, but said he would consider imposing direct sanctions on Mr Putin and that there would be "enormous consequences" if Russia invaded. "It is absolutely vital that... the West is united now, because it is our unity now that will be much more effective in deterring any Russian aggression," British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told parliament, urging "our European friends" to be ready to deploy sanctions as soon as there was any incursion.

Speaking to reporters on a call, the officials did not name the countries or companies involved in discussions to protect supplies to Europe but said they included a broad range of suppliers, including sellers of liquefied natural gas .

Have to put boots on the ground, nothing less will work. Is the US/ NATO prepared to do that. It seems not

Bye bye Poland

Seems odd that the reason we're being told Russia oppose Ukraine NATO membership is because they want a buffer from NATO countries, when NATO countries (Estonia,Lithuania,Latvia) are neighbours to Russia🤷‍♂️🙄. Clearly this is about more than a NATO membership application 🤔

Why no sanctions on America over Libya Iraq and Afghanistan and Syria or on Israel

If this kicks off the pandemic restrictions would have been a stroll in the park...
