[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]During his long, rambling Jan. 19 press conference, President Joe Biden made yet another major policy misstep. Russia, he suggested would face but minor consequences if it restrained itself to but a “minor incursion” into Ukraine.

So what was Biden doing when he said Russia was ok to make a “minor incursion” into Ukraine?

Republicans want to sit on their hands while Russia invades Ukraine just like they are sitting on their hands when given the opportunity to strengthen our immigration system.

Your mumbling about something you're paraphrasing from a press conference that happened a month ago makes no sense with that as context. [/quote]

“Q    Thank you, Mr. President.  Thank you.  Your top foreign policy advisors have warned that Russia is now ready to attack Ukraine.  But there’s still little unity among European allies about what a package of sanctions against Moscow would look like.  If the U.S. and NATO aren’t willing to put troops on the line to defend Ukraine and American allies can’t agree on a sanctions package, hasn’t the U.S. and the West lost nearly all of its leverage over Vladimir Putin?

And given how ineffective sanctions have been in deterring Putin in the past, why should the threat of new sanctions give him pause?

THE PRESIDENT:  Well, because he’s never seen sanctions like the ones I promised will be imposed if he moves, number one.

Number two, we’re in a situation where Vladimir Putin is about to — we’ve had very frank discussions, Vladimir Putin and I.  And the idea that NATO is not going to be united, I don’t buy.  I’ve spoken to every major NATO leader.  We’ve had the NATO-Russian summit.  We’ve had other — the OSCE has met, et cetera.

[color=red]And so, I think what you’re going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades.  And it depends on what it does.  It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do, et cetera. “[/color]

Biden said those words in 2022- not a few months ago. [/quote]
OMG he said that on January 19, 2022 BEFORE Russia invaded Ukraine. And he goes on to explain that if it’s a minor incursion that the response would be minor, but that if they invade the response would be huge. Which is has been. This is a backbreaking reach toward whatever point you’re trying to make.

But if they actually do what they’re capable of doing with the forces amassed on the border, it is going to be a disaster for Russia if they further ingra- — invade Ukraine, and that our allies and partners are ready to impose severe costs and significant harm on Russia and the Russian economy.[/b][/i] [/quote]
