Biden, speaking at a news conference to mark his one-year anniversary in office, also said a “minor incursion” by Russia would elicit a lesser response. He later sought to clarify that he was referring to a non-military action, such as a cyberattack, that would be met with a similar reciprocal response, and that if Russian forces cross the Ukrainian border, killing Ukrainian fighters, “that changes everything.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki noted that the Russians could turn to an “extensive playbook of aggression short of military action, including cyberattacks and paramilitary tactics.” Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., said that Biden effectively “gave Putin a green light to invade Ukraine by yammering about the supposed insignificance of a ‘minor incursion.’” “He projected weakness, not strength,” Sasse said.If Russia invades, Biden said that one action under consideration was limiting Russian transactions in U.S. financial institutions, including “anything that involves dollar denominations.
Russian military activity has been increasing in recent weeks, but the U.S. has not concluded whether Putin plans to invade or whether the show of force is intended to squeeze the security concessions without an actual conflict. The U.S. and its allies have said the Russian demands are non-starters, that Russia knows they are and that Putin is using them in part to create a pretext for invading Ukraine, which has strong ethnic and historical ties to Russia. The former Soviet republic aspires to join the alliance, though has little hope of doing so in the foreseeable future.
JoeBiden is war mongering. Provide a logical reason for Russia to invade Ukraine. As I understand, this rhetoric is based on military drills within Russia, meanwhile the USA, uk and Germany carry out military exercises in the S.China sea. We are led by evil. change
Don’t underestimate the fight of the Ukrainian people, this could be another Afghanistan
Jews will fight again till last ukrainian like they fought till last Pole in last conflict?
Oh no, more santions. Bet russia is bricking it...
Power is power!
I don't think you would have heard those words from his predecessor!!
Nope. You can't trust any U.S. presidents nowadays. Everyone knows U.S. changes its president and its foreign policy every 4 years, and there is nothing certain now except that Trump is coming back. Chinese factories are producing these.
Russia invade Ukraine many years ago, since then many ppl die
Biden said if they did a small invasion they wouldn’t impose new sanctions. AP is fake news
100,000 armed people ready to die for nothing.
All of this money hungry bullshit! The powers that be could be using this money for war for better use to our planet, but decade after decade it’s WAR WAR WAR, MONEY POWER AND GREED! And who’s gonna have to pay for it US EVERYDAY CITIZENS AROUND THE WORLD!!
It's obvious to me that Putin is trying to rebuild the Soviet Union...By the oldest war starting trick in the world's history...Attack your own troops and then invade...We can loan Ukraine our 300 A-10s with Pilots. The Russians have thousands of tanks ready to attack.
The real questions is- does Biden know where Ukrainian is?
'He thinks' = Trust me bro
Nobody will do shit until it's too late, that's what we always do. Should be putting our soldiers in Ukraine now then if Russia attacks they are declaring war on every nation that has soldiers based there. Yano actually doing something. Not just sanctions that do nothing.
Blinken gives me the least confidence of any Sec of State in my lifetime. Remember him getting spanked by China on his first meeting.
If anyone knows about invading other countries it’s America
The yanks love a good war
It's a done deal. Putin walks through Ukraine after the Winter Olympics and Ukraine is back in the Russian fold. Just look at all the remaining Republics that broke away from Russia. Putin will bring back All of them, one at a time.
Time for democracy to intervene
