President Joe Biden mumbled that the United States would respond "decisively" if Russia “further invades Ukraine,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said. The posturing comes before an anticipated meeting with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
In a 130-word statement Psaki said:
The previous day, the Group of 7 nations (G7) released a statement against the possible invasion of Ukraine, and warned of “severe costs” if Russia attacked. The nations include the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom as well as representatives of the European Union.
“President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine. President Biden made clear that the United States and its allies and partners will respond decisively if Russia further invades Ukraine. The leaders expressed support for diplomatic efforts, starting next week with the bilateral Strategic Stability Dialogue, at NATO through the NATO-Russia Council, and at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
“President Biden underscored the commitment of the United States and its allies and partners to the principle of ‘nothing about you without you.’ He reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. He also expressed support for confidence-building measures to de-escalate tensions in Donbas and active diplomacy to advance the implementation of the Minsk Agreements, in support of the Normandy Format.”
In early December it was reported that a bipartisan U.S. congressional delegation plans to visit Ukraine amid growing tensions with Russia and their military buildup along the Ukraine border. It likely foreshadowed an invasion by Russia against Ukraine, a former Soviet puppet.
“Arizona Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego, chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations, organized the trip. Reps. Seth Moulton (D-MA), Salud Carbajal (D-CA), Mike Waltz (R-FL), and Joe Wilson (R-SC) also joined the delegation,” The Daily Wire reported.The previous day, the Group of 7 nations (G7) released a statement against the possible invasion of Ukraine, and warned of “severe costs” if Russia attacked. The nations include the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom as well as representatives of the European Union.
The nations proclaimed that they “are united in our condemnation of Russia’s military build-up and aggressive rhetoric towards Ukraine,” and also called for Russia to de-escalate their current actions.
“We call on Russia to de-escalate, pursue diplomatic channels, and abide by its international commitments on transparency of military activities as President Biden did in his call with President Putin on 7 December,” the leaders said.
Alleged President Joe Biden also met with President Putin on December 7, after which the White House released a readout of the video call that said President Biden voiced a "deep concern" over Russia's escalation of forces and said that the U.S. and our allies would impose "strong economic and other measures" if there is an escalation.

It's doubtful that Putin was scared.
