i call bs on this, unnamed sources and coming from CNN of all places.

however, if true, then i'm beginning to suspect ukraine leadership is in on this with russia to create a distraction from the south china sea.

we actually have more firepower now in the south china sea with those ships in guam

1. It isn't "bs". The Ukraine president is not "in on this with russia" either. He is trying to calm

the situation down.

This is less to do with Biden as to our illustrious press pushing it.

However, with over 100000 russian troops at the Ukraine border, there is no doubt that they poise a threat to Ukrainian independence

2. That is my take on it too, Ukraine's pres has been downplaying it for a few days now & I can

understand his concern as its not about US VS Russia but we also need to show the dictator of Russia that we mean business, its a fine line.

3. Exactly

4. I think we need to let Ukraine handle it at least until after Zelensky and Putin meet.

One of the possible meeting places mentioned was Sochi, but Zelensky said there were more important things than skiing.

5. How many millions of dollars in military aid have we given them recently with Russia as the reason?

They really should get on with sending it back, since the entire reason it was sent - Fears of a Russian invasion - is apparently incorrect.

6. Politics can be hard to understand at times

Especially with foreign governments involved.

7. Any invasion will be overwhelming to Ukraine and huge loss of life. The Generals are right IMHO

8. I hope he has an escape plan nt

9. I suspect this is just kabuki, each leader playing their part. Ukraine has to play it cool to avoid

giving Russia an excuse to invade, and the US is rallying European and other nations in defense of Ukraine and in support of sanctions.

10. The Ukrainian president is telling the US president to "calm down?

Oh, please.
