JackDaniels gets caught in the middle.
Seriously though, Blinken makes a sanctions threat. Russia says, “we good” and carries on unabated and then US is obliged to sanction else we are forever after regarded as empty and weak.
Problem with sanctions is they set in slowly. ALL Putin has to do is nothing. Just sit where he is through winter, spring & summer. On Dec 3 the price of WTI was $66.26. Right now it is $92.87. The price of oil will continue skyrocket. Putin will continue to get richer. The steadily rising price of gas will further push inflation higher. While the sanctions are barely taking hold in Russia things will be getting worse & worse in America every day. Do not forget, the American elections are 9 months away. Biden cannot allow this situation continue through the election. Dems would get absolutely slaughtered.
NATO will have to capitulate to Russia on the Ukraine never being a part of NATO issue. Putin is definitely a guy with a chip on his shoulder when it comes to NATO & USA. Easy to see he is spoiling for a fight with Biden. Easy to see where this is going. Hard to see where this winds up. Hard to see what China's role in this will eventually be.
Putin & Biden in same room negotiating with just a couple of translators is what I think one of Putin's goals is here. Putin could probably get the best of him. Big Time. Scary thought for Americans.
Why should Putin do anything except go to the Olympics right now. Why should Putin do anything at all? He has a winning hand.
