President Joe Biden warned Russian President Vladimir Putin that the US and its allies will respond "decisively and impose swift and severe consequences" on Russia should Putin decide to invade Ukraine.
In a roughly hour-long phone call, the White House said Biden made clear to Putin what he would be risking with an invasion. A senior administration official told reporters following the call that the discussion was substantive but the US fears Russia may still launch a military attack anyway.
"President Biden was clear that, if Russia undertakes a further invasion of Ukraine, the United States together with our Allies and partners will respond decisively and impose swift and severe costs on Russia. President Biden reiterated that a further Russian invasion of Ukraine would produce widespread human suffering and diminish Russia's standing," the White House said in a statement, adding Biden "was clear with President Putin that while the United States remains prepared to engage in diplomacy, in full coordination with our Allies and partners, we are equally prepared for other scenarios."
The call between the two leaders comes hours after the US moved some of its forces out of Ukraine and ordered the evacuation of most of its embassy staff on Saturday as fears mount that a Russian invasion of the country could take place in the next few days. The moves were yet another sign that the US fears Putin could order an invasion at any time, just one day after Biden's national security adviser warned Americans in Ukraine to leave and that military action could begin with an aerial bombardment that could kill civilians.

Too bad Brandon can’t secure the US border.
The day this illegitimate, war hawking bastard is impeached or 25th amendment will be a great day for the country.
I feel sorry for Vlad. He must be getting whiplash going back and forth between Biden’s weak, mewling , and panicked pronouncements on the one hand, and tough talk like this on the other
I’m sure Brandon told Putin that he better watch out.
Brandon knows a bad dude named Corn Pop.
Brandon knows a bad dude named Corn Pop.
Putin is Corn Popov.
Is there any actual proof brandon said these things? And if he said them, is there any proof the putin was actually on the phone when he said them?
Biden said: America is back!
Putin will be able to say: The USSR is back!!! After taking Ukraine without the U.S. or the Europeans lifting a finger.
It there are other aggressive nations out there looking to take over their neighboring countries, now is the time to do it, since, in 3 years time, Biden will be gone.
_resident Wag-the-Dog will say anything anybody says he said.
Whatta bout Mexico invading the USA Brandon?
I get the sense that Biden simply repeats himself. And in doing so, he has given Putin a list of things that he needs to overcome.
So Vlad has had months to put together a check list of things his staff needs to work on when he invades.
What a lot of people don’t realize is that Russia has agreements with several large countries to trade in the local currency. So, getting cut off from SWFT will impact Russia only somewhat.
“Boys, this is it. New-klee-er combat, toe-to-toe with the Russkies.”
Yep, wagging the dog.
Biden gets to show he’s the tough guy who drew the line in the sand that Vlad was afraid to cross by preventing an invasion that was never going to happen.
BRANDON had 2 3 HOUR phone calls with Putin weeks ago PLANNING this KABUKI THEATER.
Putin is really scared now...I mean really really scared.
The dumb pig face bidet is hawking a war with a major nuclear power and Putin has made it clear that he might use a nuke if forced into it.
So, is the regime talking about B-52s over Russian staging areas, swarms of A-10s over Russian armor, F-35s taking out Russian command and control? Of course, these responses will start WWIII. Anything else is pointless. Let the Russians do what they’re going to and have the media whores blame inflation on the Russian invasion. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
If Biden were really concerned Russia would invade, where are the 30,000 troops in Ukraine?
Corn Popov was a “bad dude” who “ran a bunch of bad boys”, was armed with a straight-razor and backed by other gang members, called “The Russians.”
And he was threatening to “cut” Biden
Instead of calling the US, Biden met Corn Popov and his Russian cronies head on on the Ukraine Border, having armed himself with a 6ft chain. After a standoff, Corn Popov backed down.
