This is ridiculous. I mean the whole "we will respond to the Russian invasion" always in future tense. The Russian army has been in building its invasion force for months now. One would have thought plans for sanctions and military support (in the form of armament) have been put in place, to be acted on immediately if and when the invasion is put in motion. The current response from US and Europe leaders looks pathetic.
