G7 nations agree Russia will face ‘massive consequences’ if it invades Ukraine: Blinken
New York Post ^ | 12/12/2021 | Mark Moore

Posted on 12/12/2021 9:47:15 AM PST by EBH

Blinken met with his counterparts in the G7 countries over the weekend in Liverpool, England, about Moscow’s enormous military buildup on Ukraine’s eastern border that many see as a prelude to an imminent invasion.

“They are equally resolute in their determination to stand against Russian aggression, to ideally deter it, prevent it. And we’ve made clear as well that there would be massive consequences if Russia commits renewed acts of aggression against Ukraine​,” Blinken said Sunday during an appearance on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”​

America’s top diplomat said the Biden administration seeks to have a “stable, predictable relationship” with Russia, but if Putin continues his aggressive behavior toward Ukraine, a former Soviet republic, the US and its allies around the world will respond.

This is starting to sound very hawkish.

The US is capable of great stupidity right now.

We are on record (as of a few years ago) saying that we do not intend to fight a two-front war. I say: If Russia moves, then China moves. And if China moves, then Russia moves.

If we respond to one we would likely have to respond to the other. And the Middle East could open as a third front. I say: we will do nothing, because it’s all too much for us right now. But maybe we will be stupid instead.

It’s not a prelude. It’s a warning to Kiev after said they were going to try to seize Crimea and Donbass.

And the NATO industry wants more cash. And Biden needs a distraction from the inflation and crime.

“..I’ll laugh if they nuke DC...”

Other than losing a bunch of history, it would be a godsend for the rest of the country.

No it's not. None of the G7 nations will go to war with Russia over Ukraine. Putin holds all the cards and the G7 knows it.

Nothing will happen. The same way nothing will happen with China invades Taiwan and hamas attacks on Israel start up again.

Don't doubt me on this.

America is the leader of the free world even with Dementia Joe / pResident Poopy Pants in office and we're seen as weak by our enemies. If America is seen as weak, so is the G7.

Blinken also said the US retains a strong bargaining chip ​in the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline between Russia and Germany. “​T​hat pipeline​ … doesn’t have any gas flowing through it right now. And in fact, it’s a source of leverage on Russia because to the extent President Putin wants to see gas flowing through that pipeline, if and when it becomes operational, it’s very unlikely or hard to see that happening if Russia has renewed its aggression on Ukraine, if it takes renewed action​,” Blinken said.

Has this dope looked at the price of natural gas in Europe recently?

The only people getting hurt economically by not having NS-2 turned on are Europeans.

The left starts wars so they have something to protest about. Their kids don’t go, so they don’t care.

It is khabuki, but it appears the big 3 have decided to split up the spoils instead of having a war.It looks like our traitors are working with mass murderers Xi and putin... world depopulation bio weapon not answered back with nukes and all the cia fbi disinformation going on, we are being phased out by a perverted power hungry gang with epstein island dreams and all as slaves is the plan..

I knew when biden said it was up to Taiwan if they wanted to reunify that meant the bad deal was done..
He is saying we won’t help, war will be very bad, give up your land..
The same in Ukraine as he is publicly saying that they should give up land to avoid war,
Commie treason Joe, I hold dear the words give me liberty or give me death..
Because life as a slave is not life, fauci will treat all like his dog pound, biden will sniff hair, Xi will mass murder at will and putting will run the energy show mercilessly..
I say answer china’s bio weapon attack back with nukes..if need be, a stance of give them land is not a stance, it’s defeat, and a world run by tyrants is not worth.living in..

Joe Biden and crew are actual traitors to the usa, the fake news control, the gestapo of fbi, cia..all are in the way of freedom Loving people.they are vile demonic creatures who suck the blood of the people to live..
Think they are learned, but are just fools burning the world all live on..

Wait'll Sleepy Joe stumbles through a teleprompter speech, threatening Putin and reading aloud things that are meant to be directions - like:

'Point your finger and look menacingly at the camera'...

What could possibly go wrong?

Well, if Blinken says so. Blinken and Milley and Austin and Biden, victors in Afghanistan. Add Boris Johnson, Emanuel Macron, and Justin Trudeau to that dream team and Putin is facing the geopolitical consequences of a dormitory pillow fight.

Really? What massive consequences will they face? Will our woke military refuse to share our seminars on diversity and inclusion with them?

Oh you mean “hawkish” like Dementia Joe’s empty threads against the Taliban before the Taliban took over Afghanistan?
