Biden Says He's Confident Putin Has Decided To Invade Ukraine, But He Adds Dialogue Is Still An Option

President Joe Biden stated on Friday that he is now confident that Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to invade Ukraine, but that there is still time for dialogue.

During remarks at the White House, Biden said, "As of this moment, I am certain he's made the decision."

The President also stated that the US believes Russian forces are planning an attack on Ukraine "within the next week" or sooner, and that the attack will be directed at Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital.

On Saturday, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Russia was "getting into the necessary positions to undertake a strike," reiterating Vice President Joe Biden's claim that Putin had decided to invade.

Austin, speaking from Vilnius, Lithuania, stated, "They're uncoiling and are set to attack." "Until the very last minute, until it's not possible," Austin said, the US would try a diplomatic settlement.

Biden planned to spend the weekend at the White House, where he will meet with his national security staff and maintain regular contact with foreign leaders, monitoring the unfolding Ukraine crisis, according to numerous officials. Biden pondered going to Delaware, as he usually did, but instead chose to stay in Washington.

Timothy Affleck , the father of Ben Affleck and Casey Affleck , is sounding off in a rare interview, revealing that he believes that fame has taken a major "toll" on both of his famous sons. In new interview with Grazia , Timothy, who revealed that he's had his own battle against the bottle, said that he attributes many of his sons' issues, specifically Ben's well-documented issues with alcohol, to the gilded facade of Tinsel Town. Not mincing words, Timothy explained to the magazine, "Hollywood is a disgusting place. I think that's been a major factor in Ben's drinking. You're kind of forced to develop a persona that is hard to shed and go home to your family. It affects your whole life. I think that's one of the dangers of the film industry." In the interview, Timothy also attributed his own alcoholism to his son's problem with drinking. "I was a chronic, severe alcoholic for several years. I had to recover a...

Neighbour is compelled to pay £250,000 to woman next door with wasp hypersensitive reaction who sued over rotten apples which fell onto the garden of her cottage

Neighbor who is a gardener has been ordered to pay £250,000 to her wasp-allergic neighbour who sued her over a tree losing rotten apples into her Surrey lawn.  Antoinette Williams acted like a 'faculty bully' and displayed 'disgraceful' behaviour in the direction of Barbara Pilcher after the neighbours clashed over a forty-foot Bramley apple tree. Mrs Williams moved into her £600,000 cottage, in Dunsfold, close to Godalming, nearly forty years ago, whilst Mrs Pilcher sold the adjacent three-bedroom £500,000 cottage in 2010.  Mrs Pilcher sued her neighbour after the tree dumped rotting apples onto her garden every season, bringing swathes of wasps drawn to the fruit. However, what accompanied changed into a marketing campaign of centered harassment wherein Mrs Williams again and again stared at her neighbour thru a window, didn't prune the apple tree and saved a big stinky compost bin at the lowest of her very own lawn. Following a five-day trial at Central London Co...

In A Furious Address, Biden Calls For A Reform Of US Election Laws.

Angel
Image
As part of his effort to revamp the country's election procedures, US President Joe Biden has called for a historic change to Senate rules. He stated he backed adjustments that would allow his voting reforms to pass without the cooperation of opposition Republicans in an impassioned speech. His initiatives are being hampered by reservations from two senators in his own party, and no Republicans have backed them. In order to approve most bills in the Senate, a 60 percent majority is required. And, with the upper body of Congress split 50-50 between the two parties, Mr Biden's comprehensive election legislation is nearly certain to fail unless that provision is changed. Analysts think such a shift is unlikely since it would require the approval of every Democrat in the Senate, as well as the vice president's tie-breaking vote. Last year, the lower house, the House of Representatives, enacted the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. The former ...
