Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday warned of a “swift” and “severe” united response from the U.S. and European allies if a "single additional Russian force" enters Ukraine.

Asked by co-anchor Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union” about potential aggressions by Russia and if they would lead to sanctions, Blinken emphasized that any incursion by Moscow, despite the size, would be met with a strong response.

World war III here we come.

Those warmongering Democrats.

Biden will do the same thing that Obama did when Putin invaded... Pardon... 'Annexed' the Crimea. Absolutely nothing.

[fruser1]

Unfortunately, they won’t acknowledge receipt of that until after they roll in and blame the whole thing on miscommunication.

[CodeToad]

Sounds just like Zero’s “RED LINE IN THE SAND!!!” that he never took any action on as one line after another was crossed. Cowards.

Get the #severeresponse hashtags warmed up!

Worse than WWIII. Russia will release Hunter’s other laptop.

They are all over the place on this. If the goal is to confuse Putin and everyone else, it’s probably working.

Put this ahole Blinken out on the front line and fuggetaboutit.

[silent majority rising]

That is a great point. Putin will not be invading Ukrainian territory. He will be occupying Russian ‘annexed’ territory. so ‘what’s the beef’? Putin might even declare Eastern Ukraine a Russian ‘state’, like we did Hawaii or Alaska...

Do these Biden admin clowns ever consider consulting Congress before launching war with another country armed with nuclear weapons?

[Mr. K]

Seriously? You think we took over Hawaii and Alaska against their will?

Hawaii asked for statehood and we actually purchased Alaska from Russia.

NfW, this is all performance art on the part of US officials making statements like this. Putin could take all of Ukraine (and likely will) and there will be no consequences because we have not the ability to make any.

World war III here we come.

Good. All of mankind must be erased from the planet Earth.

If the Russians invade, Blinken will not share his playlist.

[SpeedyInTexas]

“Those warmongering Democrats.”

Those warmongering Russians.

[DoodleBob]

Maybe they’ll send a strongly-worded letter.

Worse than WWIII. Russia will release Hunter’s other laptop.

Worse than WWIII and Hunter’s other laptop. President Trump will ask for protesters to go to the House Capitol building.

Putin to Biden:

“Hold my beer and watch this.”

[Qiviut]

“Severe” response ... FJB waves his dirty Depends in Putin’s direction & hopes the stink backs him off? /Sarc
