Also, Russia has basically issued a veiled threat to France that it could be next if it doesn't shut up about economic sanctions on Russia.


They cant even fully attack Ukraine - you think they can handle France?

Yes....if NATO including the US does nothing.

Biden Administration must now act.

 
Last April, Biden issued an executive order targeting the Russian Federation for broad sweeping offenses, which included undermining the conduct of free and fair democratic elections and democratic institutions in the U.S., issuing malicious cyber activity against the U.S. and its allies, and threatening  well-established principles of international law, including respect for the territorial integrity of states.

The letter notes that Biden said in his order that  persons responsible for or complicit in, or have directly or indirectly engaged or attempted to engage in the  assassination, murder or other unlawful killing of, or infliction of other bodily harm against, a United States person or a citizen or national of a United States ally or partner; activities that undermine the peace, security, political stability, or territorial integrity of the United States, its allies, or its partners are eligible for expansive economic sanctions.

Russia just laughs at sanctions.
A friend of mine told me yesterday that Putin has $600bn in a fighting fund to cover any sanctions.

Entertaining to see you embracing the notion that Russia has been acting against the US.

And what makes you think that the Biden administration is not acting?

Well, then, it must be so!

Thank your friend on behalf of the world, would you?

CNN is the source.
Quote
"It is a historic day for Georgia - we are signing an Application for EU Membership on behalf of the country. Application for EU Membership is yet another milestone on the path of European integration of Georgia - it is a stage, which turns a new page in our history and continues the effort of our ancestors, which is aimed at the accession of Georgia into a common European family," he said.

Tblisi had been prepared to apply for full EU membership in 2024, according to the European Parliament.

Tbilisi's application comes two days after its neighbor and fellow former Soviet republic of Ukraine said it was seeking fast-track membership to the bloc.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked the EU on Monday to "urgently admit Ukraine" to the bloc.

"We are grateful to partners for standing with us. But our goal is to be with all Europeans and, to be equal to them. I am sure we deserve it. I am sure it is possible," Zelensky said.

Vatican News

12 hours

Reconciliation, forgiveness, dialogue, and the full awareness that there can be no room for violence are underscored in an appeal for peace by a group of 233 clerics of the Russian Orthodox Church, who also expressed hopes that all soldiers, Russian and Ukrainian, can return home unharmed.

Yes....if NATO including the US does nothing.
With that traitor Putin lover Trump no longer in power we are recommitted to Article 5 of the NATO charter. But again, you do not understand NATO.

It's Russia...did you really expect anything less.
This is what Europe and NATO get for abandoning Ukraine and letting  Russia just do as it pleases.
