President Biden reversed course on the warships just before his announcement of the fresh sanctions and after Russia warned the US ships to “stay away for their own good.”

Biden on Tuesday had emphasized on a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin that he was a “lying dog-faced pony soldier”, and that Biden was standing on the balcony willing to shoot his 12 Ga. into the air for protection. Translators seconded most Americans when they told Putin “we have no idea what the hell he’s talking about”.

Failure to be clear in your intentions and commitment is a recipe for disaster. Biden is sending mixed signals that can easily be interpreted as “we will not act”.

National emergency? Where? Here?

If we can get the Russians to start coming over are southern border, will Biden declare a national emergency and secure it?

This won’t be seen as dithering by the Russians - NOT!

Tis is something like watching a cat jump after a red light dot. The cat is never going to catch the dot, but it cannot help pouncing.

At this point, if the Russians sent an army to the US, would they be seen as invaders, or liberators?

I'd set out a welcome sign if the Russians decided to invade the US.

But he doesn’t declare our border a crisis. We’ve had more illegals invade here than Russians invade Ukraine.

I’m thinking George Soros is calling the shots on this one. He’s always wanted Ukraine to be part of the EU. It started with that Ukrainian Coup in 2014.

Ukraine was ground between the two.

“Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin”

The author defines the Bloodlands as the lands between pre-war Nazi Germany and the western edge of the Russian Republic, predominantly Poland, Belarus, the Baltic States and Ukraine.

At first I thought it said, Biden declares national emergency at US border

At first, I thought it said Biden thinks the Ukraine is his nation.

I’d guess that a national emergency in this regard gives Biden et al some power they want to exercise at the moment...
