Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 2.11pm post the following, " Joe Biden will meet with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz this afternoon as tensions remain high over Russia’s troop build up at the border with Ukraine. "
Lets Get Real:
The US President has to be firm with Chancellor Scholz, IF the Russians invade the Ukraine then the Germans will have to turn off the gas pipeline from Russia to Germany. The LOSS of gas from Russia should be make up from the US and its Allies. If any trouble from the Germans remind them who leads the Western World and its not them. The West has to be united about its reaction to any Russian invasion, any Russian invasion of the Ukraine will have practical effects, from the Western economies taking a HIT, but then the West will bring the Russian economy to its knees, also there could be millions of refugees heading to EU Countries, they will have to be looked after, also any Ukraine insurgence will have to be supported, depends how heavy a Russian invasion, just to take East Ukraine or for the whole of the Ukraine. The new German Chancellor will be looked at in case he follows the French President who wants to appease Putin.
