[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back in February, Biden said this:

“I will not send American servicemen to fight in Ukraine,” though he added that “if Russia targets Americans in Ukraine, we will respond forcefully.”

So, we have one dead American journalist and one injured.

I am awaiting this "forceful" response.

This was not just any American.

Putin’s military targeted and murdered a very prominent NYT reporter and member of the press corps.

You simply do not murder press without severe consequences.

There is now ample justification for, at a minimum, a full no-fly zone over Ukraine, if not full intervention by NATO forces.[/quote]

No there isn't. Unfortunately journalists are injured and killed all the time in war zones. That isn't a cause for the US to get involved.[/quote]

Once again.  Biden said this: “I will not send American servicemen to fight in Ukraine,” though he added that “if Russia targets Americans in Ukraine, we will respond forcefully.”

So, we should be expecting a forceful response.  
Or, does he not abide by what he says?

Lead the way. You first.[/quote]

Look.... it was BIDEN who said it.   Nobody forced him to say these words.  He said them. 
So, what is he going to do?  Just spout empty words?  Or, is he going to take action?

Biden is really good about telling Russia what he ISN'T going to do.  And, in doing so.... he is basically giving Russia permission to run roughshod over Ukraine.

I would like to hear Biden say, "All options are on the table."  I would also like Biden and crew to stop saying what he won't do.  I would also like Biden and crew to stop with the public negotiation regarding the jets from Poland and just get the damn jets to Ukraine.

He said that that the US would respond forcefully if Americans were targeted in Ukraine.  Well, it has happened.  And, we have a dead American.  
If he does nothing, he will look weak.  Weaker than he already appears.  
Time for action. [/quote]
Biden carefully chose his words. He said "targets an American". No one thinks Renaud was targeted. He was a collateral casualty of a very dangerous job. I think the US needs to do more because, practically speaking, Russia won't stop with Ukraine...but it's flat out wrong to suggest that what happened crosses the line that Biden drew.[/quote]
