    This war will be over soon enough. Ukraine cannot hope to stand up to the Russian military, but we can hope a Ukrainian resistance movement can learn how to use explosives and sniper rifles both in their territory and in Moscow. Russia will soon see a new nationalistic terrorist movement blossoming this summer.

    Apart from arming them, which NATO has been doing direct intervention is a no go unless your happy with NATO and Russia units shooting at each other. Speaking of which there are (or until a short time ago were) US and NATO air assets overflying Ukrainian territory monitoring Russian troop dispositions at the border. If they are still there?

    As for the coward bit, what you expect him to do? Don his Captain America outfit, fly in and personally save the day? And need I remind you the last Republican President wasn't exactly 'war hero' material either.

    The real test for Biden starts NOW. We'll see what he's made of now the shooting has started. Especially things like what sanctions that have been held back so far get implemented and what new arms shipments and other assistance is going to be sent in. And how fast all that happens.

    Interesting times.

    It looks like Vladimir Putin is going to go through with the plan with starting a war with Ukraine. It would also look like that He wants to merge Ukraine with Russia to start the resurrection of what was the Soviet Union and Putin would be dictator of it.

    Can't wait to see how badly he gets botox chimp-slapped with sanctions in the very near future. He has sealed his fate now in that regard.

    it will be interesting if anything NATO or Biden can do, but I doubt it

    stopping Putin would be as hard as stopping Bush from attacking Iraq

    as other posters,i think putler will invade ukraine.
    it seems ukraine was not prepared to send bombs to russian territory, or they choose not to do.

    economic santions won't have effect, only the use of force willl have effect on putler. if someone kills putler, he will be a heroe.

    Right now it's the stock futures getting slapped around and oil prices are jumping. Russia will make a profit off this.

    Ukraine will no longer be a transit country for gas. Has Germany got the balls to shut down Nord Stream 1?

    Chaos in lots of Western capitals tonight.

    do you think WWW III is justified?

    all we can do is sanctions, if that doesn't stop Putin, what else do you suggest?

    if Biden can reverse this, I would be amazed

    Maybe Biden should gather his NATO cronies together and go back to the status they guaranteed Russia in 1991?

    Maybe Russia should honor the status that Ukraine was given in 1991.

    Such childishness. I keep fairly up-to-date on what Putin says and I've even had a quick look through the OP link: Nowhere do I see that Putin has "Declared War on Ukraine". Pure childish reporting equal to Washington's "Even an idiot knows Saddam has WMD's!" Make no mistake, the US is (ONCE AGAIN!) the bad guys. If there is any justice left Russia will blow the US and NATO out of the water quick-quick and the shills will have to lie in the corner licking their wounds until further notice. :nerd:

    "Full scale" of sanctions on Russia to be deployed by US and allies on Thursday, US official says
    From CNN's Phil Mattingly

    The United States and its allies are planning on Thursday to trigger the “full scale” of sanctions against Russia that have been discussed over the past several weeks, according to a senior Biden administration official.

    While the official declined to lay out specifics, the US has planned to target Russia’s two largest banks, as well as other financial firms, and has prepared to deploy export controls to cut off Russian access to critical Western technology for entire Russian economic sectors.

    Additional members of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle and their families will also be targeted.

    Discussions are ongoing late this evening between US and European officials about the final shape of the package, the official said. It will also be a topic of discussion at the virtual G7 meeting scheduled for Thursday morning, the official said.

    US officials also remain on high alert for any cyber activity targeting key domestic targets including banks and critical infrastructure, the official said.​

    Don't think it will hurt? Just wait and see.

    They did. Maybe the US shouldn't have orchestrated the removal of Ukraine's democratically elected President in 2014. Just because he favored good relations with Russia doesn't give the US or the EU the right for regime change.

    You think Putin's glorified gas station has the capability to blow us out of the water? How amusing.

    We didn't. That Kremlin stooge should not have gone back on his promises and against the will of the people who elected him, and he should not have had protesters killed. He is lucky to be alive after that.

    None of which justifies an invasion. I think constant shelling is a huge exaggeration. The rebel groups and the Ukraines nit pick at each other. Yes, the occasional civilian gets killed.

    How many have died already in the last day?

    Hence, zero credibility to anything you say. The majority of the country elected him. Fair and square. Your US government got the protesters killed, not him.
