UK PM Johnson to TALK to Putin - Cold War 2/WW3

Sky News: Reports " Boris Johnson will step up his presence in the Russia-Ukraine crisis by holding a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin and visiting the region "in the coming days".  "

Lets Get Real:

The US, French, UK leaders all want the CREDIT if Putin backs off, none are willing to go that extra step and place troops in the Ukraine.  If the US or the UK placed troops in Western Ukraine the Russians would back off in a minute, they do not want a nuclear war over the Ukraine, and a nuclear war is not in the long term plans of Putin.  The SAD fact is that neither the US or UK have a Reagan, Churchill or Thatcher in charge, one can see those leaders taking charge and doing something, not just reacting to the moves of Putin.  One must assume that Putin is loving the attention of the West, visits by Ministers and calls with Heads of States.  Putin knows that the West is WEAK and FECKLESS with leaders to match. Neither Biden or Johnson has the majority support of the people in their home countries, thus they do not have the nerve to place troops in the Ukraine to WARN OFF Putin. 

The FEAR of a Ukraine - Russian War - New Cold WAR 2/WW3

BBC News: Reports " Top US General Mark Milley has said that a Russian invasion of Ukraine would be "horrific" and would lead to a significant number of casualties.  "

Lets Get Real:

One does really hope that the people of the Ukraine will fight if the Russians invade, after the debacle that was Afghanistan, were the Government dissolved and the President ran away, the West after supporting the Ukraine with lethal arms cannot afford to be WRONG AGAIN, from what one can see from reports people are getting ready to FIGHT, even Old age pensioners, the question is if the Ukraine Army have to fight a insurgence how will they be supported, will the West fly in supplies or try to take them over the border by trucks, will the Russians be warned not to attack Western supply planes, tricky.  Putin is old enough to remember Afghanistan after 1979, and how the US under the Reagan Administration supported the insurgence against Moscow, and how the USSR left Afghanistan in 1989, the failure in Afghanistan was seen as part of the reason that the USSR fell.  If Putin has a failure in Ukraine, could he be overthrown or even better arrested and face trial in Russia.  Everyone has a reason to win, non one can afford to lose in this Ukraine Crisis. 

POTUS moving US troops to Eastern Europe and NATO - New Cold War 2/WW3

The White House: Presser by President Biden just off AF1, " Q    Have you decided how soon you would be moving U.S. troops to Eastern Europe?....THE PRESIDENT:  I’ll be moving U.S. troops to Eastern Europe and the NATO countries in the near term — not a lot.  "

Lets Get Real:

POTUS building up the pressure on Putin of Russia, but then under cutting the remark by saying not a lot, who says that, a former Senator who has not gotten over being a SENATOR.  It can be argued that Putin has marked Biden's card, as feckless and weak after AFGHANISTAN, and a leader without the support of the American people.  As stated in previous post it will take the ground on the Ukraine and Russian border two weeks to get hard, as to allow the movement of tanks.  In that time the West, the US, UK and other countries are sending lethal arms to the Kiev Government, the President of Ukraine is worried that the talk of WAR with Russia will send the economy in to tailspin and down the toilet.  It really depend what one means by imminent, that is the word used by the West to describe the forthcoming Russian invasion, the Kiev Government has been fighting the Russians in East Ukraine for years since the 2014 takeover of the Crimea.   The Germans have not helped, they have sent five thousands HATS, yes hats, the new Berlin Government does not want to annoy Moscow.  If Biden was tough like JFK OR Reagan he would have sent the 101st airborne in to the Ukraine and drawn a RED LINE.  But then Biden is WEAK and a LOSER, another Jimmy Carter!
