US President Joe Biden says he believes Russia will make a move on Ukraine, adding the nation would pay dearly for a full-scale invasion.

Mr Biden's comments injected uncertainty into how the West would respond should Russian President Vladimir Putin order an invasion of Ukraine.

"My guess is he will move in," Mr Biden said of Mr Putin at a news conference.

"Russia will be held accountable if it invades — and it depends on what it does.

"It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and we end up having to fight about what to do and what to not do.

"But if they actually do what they're capable of doing ... it is going to be a disaster for Russia if they further invade Ukraine."

Sodomy. Looks like a uninvited backdoor entrance to me. There'll be sh*t flying in all directions. Alright for the scat and scud freaks but there is a real health risk with this sort of behaviour.

Trump would have supported Putin and offered to send ammo and troops to help.

Finns call Putin. What if all of Putin's neighbors join Nato?

Wonder how much Trump money and weapons support ever got to Ukraine?
Putin asked him nicely not to.

Trump is still angry with Ukraine for not helping Rudy find Hunter's laptop.

Probably never happen. Putin isn't that stupid to think this won't mess up his retirement in that gold palace of his.

Putin knows that his unpopularity is extremely high.
It is only intimidation and apathy that keeps him in power.

...a good war could change that, but so would a very bad war.

We shall see...

Apparently you can't join NATO if your borders are being contested. Ukraine's border could be contested almost indefinitely, particularly given that NATO promised Gorbachev that it's own border would never expand Eastwards. Perhaps, like the cold war, the phallocentric posturing basically suits both sides - just for different reasons?

I hope this escalates! It would be nice to see the population down to 4 billion again!
