MOSCOW (AP) — The White House on Tuesday began referring to Russian troop deployments in eastern Ukraine as an “invasion” after initially hesitating to use the term — a red line that President Joe Biden has said would result in the U.S. levying severe sanctions against Moscow.
Several European leaders said earlier in the day that Russian troops have moved into rebel-held areas in eastern Ukraine after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recognized their independence — but some indicated it was not yet the long-feared, full-fledged invasion.
Later, the White House signaled a shift in its own position.
“We think this is, yes, the beginning of an invasion, Russia’s latest invasion into Ukraine,” said Jon Finer, principal deputy national security adviser. “An invasion is an invasion and that is what is underway.”

Putin wants some missiles removed. Think of the Cuban Missile Crisis and JFK. What’s the difference.
I call it Senile joes revenge for going after Hunter
Watch carefully how Russia achieves its territorial and political goals with a minimal loss of life. The Chinese are enraged with envy. If the people of Taiwan resist, it won’t be anywhere near as easy for them.
I still don’t care. The world is run by tyrants now and it isn’t our battle. We have no reason to care. You need oil and natural gas? We have that here. Don’t let the MSM bullcrap you.
We don’t need Ukraine, what we need is replacement of that stupid corrupt arsehole in the WH.
Can we have a vote on a war? Is this a democracy or is that just one day every 4 years?
Brandon gave the Euro wennies a veto. So banking and energy are off the table. The problem is there isn’t really isn’t much of anything of in Russia to sanction. Energy and women are their exports with value. Brandon’s handlers will probably sanction individual Russians which is a nothing burger in the big picture.
Haaahhhaa...invasion...haaahhh!!!
“An invasion is an invasion and that is what is underway.”
*************
Just like an “insurrection” is what they say it is.
Biden just earned the title of Sudetenland Failure ...
added to all of his other FAILURES.
Historic Mid Term Elections coming.
And we call election 2020 a putsch and Biden corrupt.
Projecting American weakness never ends well. We’re paying at the pump now and will pay much more later when the dollar is no longer the reserve currency of the world.
In a word, No. This is not a democracy; we are a republic. If you want to vote on a war, you best vote right every 2 years and watch out the Democrats don't steal the election.
Parading the Red Army into Donbas was the obvious move from Putin. I could see it coming from Rio Linda. No doubt Brandon’s handlers knew this was coming to and will now claim he stopped a larger invasion. Russia is never going to sack Kyiv no matter how much our local Putinists fantasize about it.
But surely this is Putin's "last territorial demand" in Eastern Europe, right?
So when is Brandon gonna be photographed, grinningly exiting an airplane and waving a slip of paper?
"Peace in our time!"

Peace in our time speech during State of the DisUnion.
LOL
“The Chinese are enraged with envy. If the people of Taiwan resist, it won’t be anywhere near as easy for them.”
The Chinese have to air drop and ship men and material over. Russia just has to send some trucks. Big difference.
America is weak and there is no hiding it anymore. We can no longer rely on old cliches of the past, If they were all so right, we would not be losing our country today.
Their lies and failures have gotten us here.
Projecting? Face it, hard to create an image to project that is believed in a world with technology as we have today.
We are a short hop away from being as horrible as our so called enemies.
Biden has said would result in the U.S. levying severe sanctions against Moscow.
Putin says no more oil sales to you Biden scratches a** he and his stooges caused this mess by not having a clue of what to do.
Never underestimate how much Biden can f*** things up
