KIEV, UKRAINE — The head of the NATO alliance on Thursday urged Russia to “step back from the brink” by withdrawing its troops massed on the Ukrainian border or face greater isolation and debilitating sanctions.

“Do not use peacekeeping as an excuse for war making,” said NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, pointedly speaking from the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, where he visited to show support.

NATO has warned that Russia could invade Ukraine under the pretext of sending in a peacekeeping mission to stop the war between government troops and pro-Russian separatists. Russia has as many as 20,000 troops at the border. Rasmussen met with Ukrainian officials, offering intensified NATO assistance to the country’s military in the form of advisers, training and logistical support.

“I have no doubt the international community would react decisively, with broader, deeper, tougher economic sanctions if Russia intervenes further,” Rasmussen told reporters.

They are poor, scattered, and authoritarian. They are trying to 'sink' the Biden Presidency and do not care what the effects are on them. They have nothing to lose anyways.
