Amid reports of a massive Russian military buildup along the Ukrainian border and within annexed Crimea, the United States on Monday expressed its "deep concern" over the Kremlin's plan to block foreign naval ships and other state vessels from the Black Sea.
Ned Price, the State Department spokesperson, called the move in a statement part of Russia's history of "aggressive actions" targeting Ukrainian ships and "another unprovoked escalation in Moscow's ongoing campaign to undermine and destabilize Ukraine."
"The United States reaffirms its unwavering support for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders, extending to its territorial waters," Price said. "The United States does not, and will never, recognize Russia's purported annexation of Crimea."
Russia invaded Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in February 2014, attracting the condemnation of world leaders with the U.N. Generally Assembly passing resolutions in support of Ukraine's territorial integrity that March and then passing a second resolution in December calling on states to not recognize any change to the peninsula's status.

I’m sure the Carter administration also expressed “deep concern” at the Khmer Rouge genociding 1/4 of their population over 5 years.
in other words—Russia is free to invade wherever they want and the US will be “outraged” at best. maybe kick out 2 or 3 low-level diplomats from the US if Biden’s handlers REALLY wants to play tough
Ford expressed his concerns with Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. Carter wasn’t in power yet.
Killing Fields
The Killing Fields are a number of sites in Cambodia where collectively more than a million people were killed and buried by the Khmer Rouge regime during its rule of the country from 1975 to 1979, immediately after the end of the Cambodian Civil War. The mass killings are widely regarded as part of a broad state-sponsored genocide.Wikipedia
Okay. Those of you who believe that President Whoever is really making all of the decisions, raise your hand. I knew you wouldn’t.

“#USSTRATCOM Posture Statement Preview: The spectrum of conflict today is neither linear nor predictable. We must account for the possibility of conflict leading to conditions which could very rapidly drive an adversary to consider nuclear use as their least bad option.”
The bad guys in the world make their moves when they sense weakness and incompetence in the White House.
‘Deep Concern’ is the best we can expect when we have Joe “Neville Chamberlain” Biden in charge.
We should express deep concern. Just leave it at that. Not our border.
Take it to the bank, Putin can do anything he wants and the Chi-Coms also get a free pass with Biden and the American commies in power.
Oh and we'll see you soon to interfere in another one of your elections and get prosecutors fired. The dems are back in charge after all.
Its clear to see, Putin wants his land bridge to the Black Sea and to force Ukraine into a satrap of Russia. He wants his breadbasket back. He will wait till the USA is busy with a Civil War or war with Iran or China before he moves in Summer—August perhaps?
Why was my post #7 removed? I have been posting for 20 years and perhaps one othe time I had a post removed. Please explain (in a PM if you would like).
Oh no, Putin is now shaking in his boots!!!!! /sarc
Know who is REALLY concerned? The Ukrainians!
