launch a full scale invasion of ukraine. and that russia could be fully ready for an invasion by next tuesday. i'm starting to wonder whether this is a situation in which the dog may chase the bus, but wouldn't actually know what to do with it if he caught it. the dog being vladimir pute physician that within clear. the same official told nbc news, an all out invasion by russia would likely cause significant casualties killing or wounding up to 50,000 civilians in weeks, and making up to 5 million people refugees and today president biden vowed that if russia invades ukraine, they could say goodbye to their new massive natural gas pipeline from russia to europe, which is a huge potential blow to the russian economy, which gets most of its foreign currency from oil and gas sales. and it would only be a piece of the sanctions levied on russia by western nations if russia invades ukraine.
