A strongly worded letter, to be followed by some impotent whining should this behavior continue.
Nobody, not even we Americans, believes the output of that pile of vermin currently stinking up the White House.
Putin doesn’t even want Ukraine. He may pay lip service to all those Russians living in the eastern half of Ukraine, but in reality he could care less.
For the USA, led by the communist puppet Joe Biden, to make any type of threats or demands against Putin and Russia, they fart in our general direction.
A line in the sand. Always a swell idea.
Or else?
From the article: “Kyiv’s aspirations for integration with the West trigerred [sic] a major stand-off with Moscow earlier this century.”
What a quaint way of putting it. How about “American aspirations to integrate Ukraine into the West (and turn Sevastopol into a NATO base) failed to materialize after a American-orchestrated armed putsch ousting the democratically-elected leader of Ukraine sparked off a bloody civil war in that nation and Russia reclaimed Crimea.”
As for US and British blustering: all hat, no cattle — and everyone knows it.
The old agression is just fine though.
Bye Bye Donbass.
Pfft...or “we will say nee to you again” type of threat?
Or what?
(nothing)
That's what I thought.
