This comes just after Putin recognized the regions of Luhansk and Donetsk as independent.
Secretary Blinkin has reportedly just stated that this invasion requires a “swift and firm” response:

You mean like Biden’s response a year ago when he had a chance to do something but ran away with his tail between his legs after Putin threatened war? Or maybe you mean like Biden running away from the Taliban after they threatened war last year, leaving Americans behind in Afghanistan? Yeah I’m pretty sure Putin isn’t worried about anything Biden might do.
It really sucks having a feckless president.
