Thank you for making me smile in these sad circumstances where brothers and sisters might have to fight.
Besides the fact that there is not even 500 miles separating Alaska from Kamchatka it is ironic that a president who likes to brag that his rockets can hit any target across the world flying at supersonic speed is worried that there would be rockets next to his border.
Since decennia the whole world has already virtually rockets at their borders since Russian, American, Chinese etc rockets can hit worldwide coming from their home country and or sea.
Imagine if Hungary would decide to leave the EU and later wants to join the CSTO. Will Putin then accept that the NATO does not want rockets at their border and will the “West” than also accept it is up to the concerned country to decide ?

I am happy I made you smile. Actually the issue with rockets is the time from launch to impact on the target . So the shorter the distance it has to fly the less time you have to shoot it down for example..... and launching direct from the border is a kind of advantage

Make that Canada instead of Hungary in your example. In my view Putin would be fully aware that moving troops close to the US border would mean trouble, even with the full agreement of Canada for example.
So Biden got exactly what could be expected when kind of "encouraging" the Ukraine to move closer to the EU and NATO.
Tonight Russian forces crossed the border to Ukraine accompanied by a speech by Putin that was a scary collection of mentally deficient gibberish.
My thoughts are with the people of Ukraine.

Biden?
Bush pushed really hard for Ukraine and Georgia to be Nato members back in 2008. Thats when there was an agreement on future membership . Russia took Crimea in 2014. Russian agression has kept ut under Obama and Trump

Nice to see some sanity here. Totally agree.
Sadly there are the same far right wing crowd here that admires wannabe dictators and dictators like Putin.
Western democracies are not perfect but yeah. Lets not root for the guy that will imprison or poison political opponents and crushes the free press
"We demand, that those who have the power in Kiev and will have the power in Kiev, stop the hostilities immediately. Otherwise the responsibility for a possible continuation of bloodshed will be solely on the side of the regime of Ucraine!"
- Putin in his speech on the night of 23rd February 2022.
This grotesque statement shows his relationship with reality.
And this is no "game and manipulation build by USA ..."
Interestingly, Putins logic for invading Ukraine is identical to the logic Hitler used for justifying the invasion of Poland:
"This night for the first time Polish regular soldiers fired on our territory. Since 5.45 A.M. we have been returning the fire"
