WASHINGTON — The White House believes Russia could launch an invasion of Ukraine at any moment, press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday, warning that an “extremely dangerous situation” is building along the Ukrainian border.

"We believe we're now at a stage where Russia could at any point launch an attack on Ukraine. I would say that's more stark than we have been,” Psaki said during her daily press briefing.

No, the aspirin factory was in Sudan. It was when they bombed Serbia. So many bombings it’s hard to keep them all straight.

Yes, a window of opportunity has been opened for our adversaries and they won’t miss taking advantage of it.

Weakness invites aggression. Always has, always will.

The talking White House and its media entourage are warning us. The same liberals never wanted to fight Russia during the Cold War.

Shoot, I’m sure Biden can figure out SOME way or another to abandon 84 billion dollars worth of sensitive US military equipment to Russia, like he did to the Taliban in Afghanistan.

The invasion of Taiwan does not need to be during the Ukraine invasion. Afterward will work fine for the Chinese. But I expect both while Bidet is in office.

He should just do what Clinton did with the Chinese, simply transfer state secrets and avoid the loss of life during the battle or retreat..

Hey in the fwiw department, January-February is not a good time to start a war in eastern Europe.

I don’t care who you are.

In Other words:

I sent a Team of Congress Critters to collect the Protection Money, but Ukraine didn’t want to pay the amount we demanded, so I will let Putin do what he wants.

I thought diplomacy was their answer to everything. Now they are war mongers, must be the Cheney influence.

Notice the HW did not say what they are going to do about it ... I guess ... “nothing.”

Oh, OK. Tell us what YOU would do, then - and, oh, make sure you've executed your plan to stop the invasion at our border with Mexico FIRST.

You DO have a plan to stop the invasion of YOUR OWN COUNTRY, right?

Well, at least Biden is a giver and not a taker, we get nothing in return.
