Starts at 19s. Very incoherent, but the most likely meaning of what he is trying to say is a huge lie. The US alone invaded at least 15 countries since WW2.

    Wording like that makes it sound like he believes the US will get involved if Russia goes in, maybe he just doesn't want to outright say it.

    Hard to tell with Biden and his word salads of course, but potentially scary shit. Can't imagine things actually going nuclear in any case unless the US actually pushes into Russia and backs them into a corner.

    But who knows. Could totally see nothing happening, just as nothing has been happening the whole time the press has been hyping this up.

      The CIA have been a bunch of busy beavers. And the US did intervene during the Russian invasion of Georgia, as noted in the most recent episodes of Lions Lead By Donkeys. Mostly intelligence support, but they did intercede.

      I don't doubt the Americans hope to do a similar intervention on the side of Ukraine. But I also think they're wary of how badly things could turn if they back another losing horse.
