“You got 50 Republicans who don’t want to do anything except criticize the president. And then you have, sadly enough, two Democrats who choose to work with the Republicans rather than the president, and who have sabotaged the president’s effort …”
— Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)

Blinken promises 'severe' response if 'single additional Russian force' enters Ukraine
Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday warned of a “swift” and “severe” united response from the U.S. and European allies if a "single additional Russian force" enters Ukraine.
Asked by co-anchor Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union” about potential aggressions by Russia and if they would lead to sanctions, Blinken emphasized that any incursion by Moscow, despite the size, would be met with a strong response.
“If a single additional Russian force goes into Ukraine in an aggressive way, as I said, that would trigger a swift, a severe, and a united response from us and from Europe,” Blinken said.

"War like posture" keeps coming to mind.
But my mind isn't 100% post-Pneumonia, please bear with.
(Pergram is sauce)
Schiff: Reports by British Intelligence services that Russia has engaged in planning to install a new puppet government in Ukraine should focus the global community around the imminent and real threat of a massive Russian invasion.
The people of Ukraine have the indisputable right to elect their own leaders, and the United States will vigorously oppose any attempt to topple and supplant the democratic government in Kyiv.
While an invasion appears likely, it is not yet inevitable, and the United States must continue to work quickly along with our allies, both to reinforce Ukraine’s military deterrent and to prepare to respond if Putin goes to war.

Schoenbach also said it was important to have Russia on the same side against China, and suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin deserved “respect."
