- s1artibartfast 5y agoHow short are peoples memories theses days? Just a month ago Biden was literally telling the world that Russia would likely invade and it was front page news. Now people act like it is a shock and conspiracy theory. January 19th, >Biden said a full-scale invasion would be “the most consequential thing that’s happened in the world in terms of war and peace since World War Two”, with the risk of spilling outside Ukraine’s borders, and “could get out of hand”. He said that Russia would prevail militarily in an invasion but would suffer heavy casualties. “This is not all just a cakewalk for Russia militarily,” he said, noting the military aid the US has provided recently. “They’ll pay a stiff price, immediately, short-term, medium-term and long-term if they do it.” This is the same day Russia gave its last and final request for US assurance that it would vote no to Ukrainian NATO membership. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/19/russia-could-act-against-ukraine-at-any-moment-says-us https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/19/russia-could-a...
