BBC News: Reports " Boris Johnson has announced sanctions against five Russian banks and three billionaires, after Russia ordered troops into eastern Ukraine. "
Lets Get Real:
This blog is giving the UK PM the benefit doubt on this, these are initial sanctions, other harsh sanctions will be used if Putin goes in to the rest of the Ukraine. It has been a very busy 24 hours, the Russians recognized the two separate regions of East Ukraine as independent countries and to use their term, sent in peacekeepers in to these regions. Putin in a 57 minute speech stated that the Ukraine was never a real country and stated it was part of Russia. Thus one can expect further action by Putin, will he go after the rest of East Ukraine that is under the control of the Kiev Government, that would force the US to take further sanctions on Russia. The Biden Oval has to ask, does it want Russian forces that close to a NATO Country, in this case Poland. Let's recall that World War 2 started with the German invasion of Poland in 1939. As stated in this blog, Putin is following the Hitler case study on warfare. The next two days will be very interesting.
