US vs Russia

[PlatinumGuy]

The Kremlin announced that  Biden called Putin, but he did not take his call.

Source? Google and twitter searches show nothing and it's not on RT

The idea that Biden would just call Putin without it being pre-arranged is ludicrous

To quote @PlatinumGuy

Putin is nervous and fidgeting, exactly what Biden wanted
😂😂😂

I guess now it's the American "Patriots" that are fidgeting and just making things up

Perhaps they banned the journalists with such reports

Yeah, RT banned ‘journalists’ who broadcast the Kremlins message. Do you seriously believe that?

It’s very possible that it didn’t happen, but one thing is certain, they know what they’re doing!
I’m curious to see how the kremlin escalates this.
More dangerous flyovers over ships and planes or worse?
I’m sure they’re gonna be working with China on how to take advantage of this opportunity.

Looks like they’re not wasting anytime
The West is getting very nervous about the build up of Russian Forces on the border with Ukraine.
The US European Command raised the threat level from possible to potential imminent crisis

“One reason the rollout of these actions took longer than anticipated is because the White House was not satisfied with the options the State Dept initially presented and wanted more expanded sanctions.” CNN

Thank you to President Biden and VP Harris for defending America.

Will Ben Sasse pay a political price for demanding Russians in "body bags" based on the bounty story for which there was at the very best inconclusive evidence?

Interesting to note that this article does not mention the fact (included in the Reuters article they link) that the Russians warned the US not to send in the ships.

Ah, back to the lead from behind doctrine?

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on CNN:

“We have communicated [to Russia] that there will be consequences if Mr. Navalny dies.”

Get used to it for the next few years.

Russia continued to ramp up its military presence in the Black Sea over the weekend as two more warships and 15 smaller vessels moved to the waterway amid heightened tensions between Washington and Moscow. 

More naval reinforcements – including landing ships from the Baltic fleet – are expected to arrive at the Black Sea in the coming days to support the thousands of troops and armored vehicles already in position near Russia’s eastern border with Ukraine.

The Biden administration last Thursday scrubbed sending two US warships to the Black Sea after the Kremlin warned “stay away for your own good” to the deployment.
