Russia has stationed nearly 80,000 troops on its border with Ukraine, and in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, Russian-backed separatists have recently intensified their attacks.
The buildup of troops is a message to Biden. Russia has already annexed Crimea from Ukraine, after a 2014 invasion. The 80,000 Russian troops is an attempt to strengthen Russia’s position in peace talks over the Donetsk region, potentially giving Putin more control over eastern Ukraine. He also laughs because he knows there is nothing the Biden can do about it.
Biden is all talk, calling Putin a “Killer”, but the latest sanctions stopped far short of what the U.S. could have imposed. “I was clear with President Putin that we could have gone further, but I chose not to do so,” Biden said when announcing them. “The United States is not looking to kick off a cycle of escalation and conflict with Russia.” Thank you Captain Obvious.

Russia, China, Iran, Mexico, Middle East, etal………It seems we are back to the Pre-Trump map of 2016.
One has to wonder whether this cyber-attack that shut down the pipeline was in part to mock Joe Biden as being weak.
Today the news is that Joe is now going to boost cyber-security even more, as if Joe Biden himself could possibly do such a thing with all the other miracles he is going to provide us with.
