The prayers of the entire world are with the people of Ukraine tonight as they suffer an unprovoked and unjustified attack by Russian military forces. President Putin has chosen a premeditated war that will bring a catastrophic loss of life and human suffering. Russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction this attack will bring, and the United States and its Allies and partners will respond in a united and decisive way. The world will hold Russia accountable.

I will be monitoring the situation from the White House this evening and will continue to get regular updates from my national security team. Tomorrow, I will meet with my G7 counterparts in the morning and then speak to the American people to announce the further consequences the United States and our Allies and partners will impose on Russia for this needless act of aggression against Ukraine and global peace and security. We will also coordinate with our NATO Allies to ensure a strong, united response that deters any aggression against the Alliance. Tonight, Jill and I are praying for the brave and proud people of Ukraine.

7. thank you

[yaesu]

8. Sounds like targeted hits on infrastructure, gov, military throughout the country, not a major

invasion but are probably making them deaf & blind so he can move into E Ukraine a little easier. Just a best guess do to reports

[Deminpenn]

11. Expect this to be quick like the

US invasion of Iraq and the expulsion of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Holding the gain will be the hard part.

[Igel]

28. Or saying, "Not a big deal. Just kidding. Ignore the big elephant. It's nothing."

Remains to be seen.

At the funeral home, next Saturday.

[wnylib]

31. They are striking the capital of a sovereign nation.

Unprovoked.

[blue-wave]

9. It appears that Odessa

in the south, on the Black Sea is reporting attacks. If they are ground forces, they likely came from Moldova. But they could be aerial.

If there are any attacks coming from countries other than Russia, we need to come down hard on those countries too, effectively making them pariahs.

[yaesu]

13. others crossing the border into Kharkiv - NBC I think R Marines are who are attacking via sea nt

[blue-wave]

15. Most likely

[Ghost Dog]

37. Thanks for the map. That, then (except Kiev) is the territory,

where the great majority of people are not Ukrainian-speaking, that will be "liberated" in defense of the Donbass and Russia's "security".

[blue-wave]

2. Thank God

We have President Biden in the White House at this moment.

[DENVERPOPS]

17. Hell

If Trump had made it into the white house we would have already been given to Putin by Trump and the Republicans....LOL NOT

[Deminpenn]

3. Not a warmonger, but too little, too late

As soon as Biden announced the US wouldn't spill its own blood to save Ukraine, the die was cast. In the end, Chinese pressure (to protect is own interests) on Russia is what will end this invasion.

[msongs]

4. oh yeah they get taiwan unopposed in return nt

[Deminpenn]

6. Jmho, but it's inevitable Taiwan will become

part of the PRC following a similar path as Hong Kong.

[yaesu]

5. Well, one thing the pres will do is ban any American made or designed technology from

being sold to Russia, anything with an American made or designed chip. means Russian generation Z will have to learn to live without iPhones, game consoles and other goodies.

[DENVERPOPS]

18. There is always some country

we sell to, who will be a middle man and sell it to who ever has the money..............

[manicdem]

36. Steal it

Russia or China will just steal.it and reverse engineer it.

16. Unconfirmed reports from Ukraine: Citizens in Kharkiv are being moved to subways and bunkers.

Russian fighter jets have conducted airstrikes on the 25th & 93rd Ukrainian brigade bases in Dnepropetrovsk.

Russian troops land in Mariupol and Odessa

If these reports are true the first strike body counts will be one sided & massive.

[Traildogbob]

20. Putin threatened

Any outside interference. Stated they are a nuclear power. Guess this is considered genius by Trump, Pompeo, Fox and Bannon. Think of that. Putin threatens nukes against us and Allies, and the GQP are rooting for Putin. Christian, Prolife GQP. Time to take out Russian sympathizers right here, right now.

[rockfordfile]

22. As of now Russian troops landing in Mariupol didn't happen.

[yaesu]

23. yeah, I'm still going with targeted attacks on buildings, maybe bases but it doesn't really

matter, pooty will get the full you're fucked treatment from the US & the west, he can kiss his economy goodbye, his nation is now North Korea as far as the world will treat it.

[DENVERPOPS]

19. It is like, worldwide,

every mental institution has opened it's door and let every psychotic patient out to go after humanity........

WASF

21. In a statement posted to his official Facebook page, the minister said: The invasion has

begun. There have just been missiles on the military headquarters, airports, military warehouses, near Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnieper.

Gunfire at the border is underway. From this day, there is a new geopolitical reality in the world”

41. I would really

like to think there are more than sanctions attached to this statement:
We will also coordinate with our NATO Allies to ensure a strong, united response that deters any aggression against the Alliance.

[mike_c]

42. who prayed for Iraq, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Vietnam, Panama, etc, etc...

...when we attacked them without provocation, or pretended provocation with outrageous lies? Same as it ever was. Nobody's hands are clean, but no other country on Earth has worse war crime karma than the US since WWII. How many foreign garrisons and occupations does the US maintain? We protest WAY too much. It is just too freaking predictable. We always cheer the underdog, except when we're the overdog, which is more often than not, or when the military-industrial complex is turning a tidy profit. State violence is our primary export. Maybe we could, like, get ourselves in order before condemning others who take notes from our playbook.

Sorry, I'm just not gonna feign outrage at others when our government does the same shit when it suits their purpose.
