Don't worry. They're just "peacekeepers."

Just like Trump told his followers to "peacefully" go to the Capitol on January 6th.

I'm sure nothing bad will come of this.

1. The sanctions need to start today

Russia is invading Ukraine, hammer them.

Seizing the international assets of all of Russia's richest families that prop Putin up would be my first sanction.

2. Nationilize every penny! Now!

3. Psaki says it already has, US banks pulling funds from Russia equites which are in freefall ...

... now and next the economic war begins.

Putin has a rainy day fund for Russia but it aint gonna last ... this move by Putin is REALLY dumb

4. It seems everyone knows it...

except Putin.

15. That's not sanctions against Russia, that's sanctions against two regions in active rebellion.

Those two area's were already written off in regards to sanctions, since, well, active rebellion.

"To be clear: these measures are separate from and would be in addition to the swift and severe economic measures we have been preparing in coordination with Allies and partners should Russia further invade Ukraine."

So, yeah. Entirely separate thing.

16. ah, well ... that's toothless

[EndlessWire]

11. I'd wait until

his tanks actually cross into Ukraine. Then I'd go with that. Diplomacy will soon be over. Ukraine isn't going to "sue" for peace. They are going to fight.

And, eff Belarus, too.

[sarisataka]

13. Since Donetsk and Luhansk

Are part of Ukraine, he has already invaded.

[EndlessWire]

14. Oh, let's not be fussy.

He invaded when he took Crimea.

But, when History writes this chapter, Putin will not be able to say it was the other guy's fault. He isn't going to be defending some sovereign country's honor. He will be crossing the border with tanks, probably accompanied by satellite images for posterity. That's what we want. We want images to show the entire world.

[Lovie777]

7. They are already there . .. .

and their tanks and weapon et al .

[cilla4progress]

10. Yes.

The beginning of WW III?

Putin don't care.

Let's see if his oligarchs do...

[Zorro]

12. Ahh yes. The Russian Sudetenland.

[uponit7771]

17. +1, IIRC that's the very excuse Hitler gave to attack that area

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

18. WW Z, no doubt
