President Biden Speaks to Putin - Readout of Call - Biden Era

The White House: Readout of call between President Biden and President Putin over the Ukraine Crisis, " President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today with President Vladimir Putin of Russia about Russia’s escalating military buildup on the borders of Ukraine. President Biden was clear that, if Russia undertakes a further invasion of Ukraine, the United States together with our Allies and partners will respond decisively and impose swift and severe costs on Russia. President Biden reiterated that a further Russian invasion of Ukraine would produce widespread human suffering and diminish Russia’s standing. President Biden was clear with President Putin that while the United States remains prepared to engage in diplomacy, in full coordination with our Allies and partners, we are equally prepared for other scenarios.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus Putin would have expected the above, what is interesting is the line that the US and its Allies areequally prepared for other scenarios.  ".  Does this mean that that the US and its NATO Allies will support a Ukraine insurgency as the US did to the Afghan Rebels in the 1980s under Ronald Reagan.  Of course any support by the West would drag in the threat of World War 3, will the Allies contemplate a NO FLY ZONE, this would have a severe restrictions on the Russians if they want to bomb the Ukraine.  There will be refugees from the Ukraine to EU and NATO Countries, will the US and its Allies set up camps that will need to take in hundred of thousands to millions, this will be seen as a threat by Russia.  Also the Russians seeing the weakness of the West in the case of Ukraine might think they have a chance with the BALTIC STATES or even POLAND.  Thus it was good to see that the US has sent three thousand more troops to Poland.  The Baltic States might need that level of support or more even.  The tempo of the crisis has risen, are the Russians from Putin on down lying to the West, or does only Putin know what is really going to happen.  Tuesday and Wednesday are the target dates, let's see if Western intelligence is on the BALL.
