Russia to invade soon?

MSN reports:

President Vladimir Putin threatened a military response to counter NATO expansion toward Russia’s borders, but said he hoped for a diplomatic solution to rising tensions as the U.S. said it was ready to discuss his security demands.

This is all a pretext for Putin to invade even more of Ukraine, as he has worked out the US and Europe will not do anything to stop him.

Sadly I expect he will move within a couple of months.

The U.S. and Europe accuse Russia of a massive build-up of troops near Ukraine in preparation for a possible invasion as early as next month, something Russia denies. The U.S. and its allies are working on plans to impose painful new sanctions on Russia if it invades Ukraine. 

Sanctions will not stop Putin.
