President Joe Biden today used a script to offer his fulsome backing to Ukraine after he yesterday inflamed the invasion crisis by suggesting a 'minor incursion' by Russia would go unpunished.
Biden said Thursday a move by any Russian forces into Ukraine would constitute an unacceptable invasion.
Biden also said the U.S. would respond to any moves by 'Little Green Men', a reference to Russian soldiers posing as militia, as well as cyber actions and 'paramilitary tactics.'

WNU Editor: This is both embarrassing and dangerous. The Kremlin believes that the Biden administration is dysfunctional and disorganized. This only reinforces that perception.

President potato head
I think everyone has come to the realization that Biden and the people who tell him what to say, are a risk to world peace---even the Russians. I wonder how the real possibility that Biden will do something extremely foolish and dumb affects their thinking and planning.
as if Russia needs Biden's green light for anything
The US Invaded Afghanistan with relatively few numbers of mostly special ops forces back in the early 00's so likely any "incursion" here would be the same, other than cyber only etc. The Kremlin's words/actions have been dangerous as well.
The whole situation has stunk and has been largely a waste for a while Imo.
If the Russians invade, Biden & NATO will do nothing. They'll slap their gums, do a few phoney baloney sanctions & that'll be it Ditto China if it invades or blockades Taiwan until it falls. Same if Iran has a nuke or three up their sleeves. The Democrats will continue with their racial agendas, to persecute parents, encouraging a massive wave of humanity to invade the Southern border, to stop Trump running at all costs, with trumped up charges.(pun intended) If the case against him falls through but they prevent him from running, that's a massive victory for them. Why does Russia & China need to attack the USA, when the Democrats are doing a perfect job of destroying their own political systems & country? Keep ducking 🙈
