Poland's foreign minister said on Thursday that Europe was at risk of plunging into war as Russia said it was not yet giving up on diplomacy but that military experts were preparing options in case tensions over Ukraine could not be defused.
In Washington, the White House said the threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine remained high with some 100,000 Russian troops deployed and the United States would make public within 24 hours intelligence suggesting Russia might seek to invent a pretext to justify one.
"The drumbeat of war is sounding loud, and the rhetoric has gotten rather shrill," Michael Carpenter, U.S. Ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), said after talks with Russia in Vienna.

“Poland is the wildcard here.”
Yes, I agree.
No one will decide they want to start WWIII; it will be blundered in to.
NATO will do nothing if Russia invades because they know Putin can pick up the phone to GAZPROM and instantly it gets very dark and very cold in Western Europe. Perhaps Frau Merkle would like to comment on the situation.

How much would it take for Pootin’s accomplices in the White Hospice to agree to a small / managed war in order to keep the Zombie in the White Hospice?
"The Monroe Doctrine was a United States foreign policy position that opposed European colonialism in the Western Hemisphere. It held that any intervention in the political affairs of the Americas by foreign powers was a potentially hostile act against the U.S. The doctrine was central to U.S. foreign policy for much of the 19th and early 20th centuries."
“Thanks, Dems; the resulting bloodshed will be on your hands.”
Do you truly believe Pelosi, Schumer or “The Squad” even give a sh!t?
The Democratic Party has no problem killing millions of unborn babies in the USA every year. Why would they give two sh!ts about millions of dead Russian, Ukrainian or American military personnel if it keeps the money flowing and them in office?
These are truly vile and corrupt people.lbb
Huge numbers of Russian troops are leaving their Eastern front (against China) to the Ukraine area ...
China is SO happy... Even happier than the US media!
*The Eurotrashes have trouble resisting the urge to kill each other about every 50 years.*
Blacks everyday.
What a wonderful world 🌍 we have here
The Ukrainians are preparing everything and the kitchen sink for what’s coming, with regular people on duty prepping supplies, machine guns, etc.
Not sure there’s any level of preparation that can help them at this point though.
I don’t blame Russia for not wanting NATO on their doorstep.
The war cannot start until little Willy Milley gets all those multiple speed reverse gears installed on our tanks. Oh, and orders all the surrender flags from his Chinese roomate.
I believe we’re ready for all-out warfare.
Russkies already arm their client states in Latin America and have previously deployed troops to prop up the commies in Venezuela as recently in 2019.
This is all a bunch of BS that they’re saying to make a false equivalence with Ukraine, which propaganda also includes Poland and other countries in previous threats and bluster for daring to setup anti-missile defense shields and the like.
Nobody ever remembers, the Monroe doctrine also said we would stay out of European affairs.
Ukraine was hit by cyber attacks earlier today.
What's idiotic is the Putinists still want us to believe this is all a Biden plot to start war with Russia, when there is no military preparation on our side whatsoever for what's coming, and 100% of the preparation is in Russia.
Russia will attack Ukraine, the USA will do nothing, NATO will do nothing, and you'll move on to your next Russian-approved talking point to explain why Poland should be next.
The Poles are serious people who are not to be taken lightly. Putin knows that, even if no one in Washington, D.C. does. We are slouching toward nuclear oblivion while our leaders dither and bluster.
