Biden says that ‘Putin chose this war and he will pay’ as US ready to use ‘full force’

“Putin is the aggressor. Putin chose this war. And now he and his country will bear the consequences.” This is what Mr Biden said in an address from the White House, noting how the Russian leader had moved 175,000 troops and military supplies ahead of the invasion.

US president Joe Biden forcefully condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Thursday afternoon, and announced strong sanctions against Russian president Vladimir Putin’s regime.

Mr Biden’s words come after Russia invaded the former Soviet bloc nation, having earlier recognised two of its regions as independent. Mr Putin had accumulated a series of troops on the ground.

The USA needs a leader who isn’t dependent on a teleprompter!

[mrss]

The absolute sheer irony!
Iraq? Afghanistan? Vietnam? 🤦🏼‍♂️

[secondsago]

US has never broke international law, Iraq, Lybia, syria, Afghanistan the list goes on

Why is no one talking about the fact he’s saying that Ukraine is going to be hung out to dry and that they’re only going to step in if NATO is involved? This is saying, we condemn your actions but go ahead and take the Ukraine

Sitcoms... my brain craves the soothing presence of sitcoms right now.

Just a speech no one will do anything they all Care about their interest not a human life

Assuming we all survive this conflict (?) I think the only good thing to come out of it will be how much more difficult it will be for America to justify its next military excursion into someone else's country. The world will be expecting America to practice what it's preaching right now.

And yet, our southern border goes un-checked.

America and NATO place military bases close to russia and try and get Ukraine (Russia's next door neighbour) to join NATO so that America and NATO can put up military bases right next to Russia and yet Russia is the one whose wanting war?...
If the Taliban asked and wanted Mexico to join in a union with them which would allow the Taliban to set up military bases and send their troops to Mexico, wouldn't America be gathering military forces along the border there?... Yes of course it would.. same with Russia...it's got it's military there cos it's being backed into a corner and feels threatened so what other choice does Russia have when Biden and his administration won't even listen...Think about it.
this whole ukraine thing is the cuban missile crises in reverse.
instead of picking a fight with russia, Biden should focus on fixing the high inflations problem, poverty level, and crime rate in America

“we’ve been transparent with the world ... “ lololololol

[epjarvis]

"Our forces are not going to Europe to fight in Ukraine. But to defend our Nato allies and to reassure our allies in the east" What does this mean?? How do you defend without fighting back? By providing moral support? USA are going to pull the same move they did in both of the world wars. Join in at the end and pretend they played a huge part.
