White House: A Presser with a Senior Administration Official, the Official stated what the US would do should Russia invade the Ukraine, " We have coordinated with our allies to impose severe sanctions on the Russian economy and financial system, far beyond what was implemented in 2014.. We have made plans to reinforce NATO’s force posture in Allied states in the event of a further invasion, which would destabilize the security situation in Europe and demand adjustments to NATO forces and capabilities, especially on the eastern flank...And we are prepared to provide Ukraine with further assistance to defend its territory and respond to a potential Russian occupation should a further invasion proceed in the coming weeks. "
Lets Get Real:
Its the last bit that is interesting, the US has stated for some time that a great economic cost would befall Russia if it invaded the Ukraine, the statement that the US would supply the Ukraine is interesting, that would mean military kit, missiles, satellite information on Russian movements in the Ukraine, even supporting Insurgence operations against the Russian, that was the policy of the Reagan Administration in the 1980s, this forced the Russians out of Afghanistan in 1989. IF Putin invades and he fails, this could mean the end of his oppressive regime in Russia. There would be thousands of DEATHS, the people of the Ukraine would suffer and Putin would face having to deal with thousands of Russian body bags, does Putin really want to make the same mistake as the USSR did when it invaded Afghanistan in 1979, that was one of the factors that lead to the fall of the USSR in 1991. As stated it will be interesting to hear the US readout of the call and also the Russian one, let's see if they match up and who blinked.
