Imagine if they cared about our own borders as much as this.

I’m shocked the media broke character and asked some difficult questions they obviously can’t answer.

@Hugh Janus Well, China does seems to be watching Putin's tactics and adopting them with the intent of attacking Taiwan and Japan. But ultimately China has shown more restraint because of the trade benefits it gets with the rest of the world to behave. The Kremlin will eventually have to obey China like Russia was a vassal, and that's not going to go over well in Russia. But I do understand your concern there.

@Randy Fuentes what makes you soo sure? they have more MEN than we do - our guys are running around in ballet shoes deciding if they want to be boys or girls -

@IronskullGM na just controlled opposition drama

"Massive consequences" to Blinken means he'll sneer at you and call you a racist.

Exactly zero Americans believe Anthony Blinkin because he was ohhhh sooooo honest with us throughout the Afghanistan withdrawal fiasco chaos ish-show.

@Yehim Stone you sure about that bonus troops were injured !??? Clown

@Kerry Smith 33% and sinking

@Mark Ulis At least us GI Joe Commandos know how to form a proper sentence! Guess you didn't make it to middle school until after they replaced Language Arts with Diversity Studies!

Bless his heart. This little man couldn’t threaten a flea.

@Lee The US can’t ignore the world. People like you wanted us to stay out of WWII, too

@Retotion So getting us involved in a war is just fine as long as you approve of his demeanor? Listen to yourself

@Retotion because it’s been going on for months, have you not been paying attention?

When nearly every sentence sounds like a question, Blinken's credibility is shot.

@Nara Puppy Putin doesn't like the fact that the Ukraine could join NATO. Besides inherting a sea port and resurrecting Ukrain as part of Russia , what other reason could there be .

“Ukraine… my dad and granddad worked for that company in Pennsylvania when I grew up” — President Biden PS when is he going to take the cognitive test?

🤣🤣🤣

“They’re gonna get it all right. I’ll give Russia a finger waving they’ll never forget”-Blinken

@Yehim Stone A report I read was that certain factions in Crimea invited Russia in to keep from being annihilated. Of course your con (seravtive) artists didn't tell you that.

When you are with a standoff with Russia, the last thing you need is a guy named Blinkin

Don't mention fingers for the moment. Please don't. We know where Vlad will put them for Blinken.

He should say, “we do not know what to do, we only talk big and play small”.

@Dog A gun is not going to do anything when nukes are in the air.

@Dog Because I'm not a killer and life is the most redundant thing since Adam and Eve. I really hate all this nonsense.

@A P Absolutely. We are better off today than during the cold war. There are many reasons for this. First, USSR was second largest economy. USSR was larger territory. USSR had nuclear triad which stands on ICBMs/hypersonic weapons only today. The US has better defenses against ballistic missiles. NATO has expanded. The list of advantages goes on and on. Actually, Iraq 1991 war was a proxy war of USSR and USA and USA beat the crap out of USSR's technology. That is why USSR collapsed. It realized that it is no match for NATO F-117. The stealth was proven during 1991 war. Even missile defenses were proven when Saddam shot scuds at Israel.

@Cascail Boutx ok nut bag. Look at labour participation. Inflation is out performing wage growth and we have settled into stagflation.

Followed by Putin rolling on the floor in a fit of laughter...again

@Incog Nito While that's correct, that has absolutely nothing to do with my comment....nor does it address Biden's complete incompetence on yet another issue.

Biden is the greatest what America have ! Respect him !

@JohnK004 Biden “ President Kamala, there’s a pretty red button thingy in my office, I pushed it but nothings happening ?” I really want my glass of warm 🥛 now!!!!

🤪🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Putin loves small tiny gurly brain men

It's funny how she asks all the questions which depict Russia as the aggressor, yet she fails to ask the one very basic question of WHY exactly is the US trying so hard to establish a military base in Ukraine and on Russia's door steps???!!!

U.S. Military Base in Ukraine will be center for #MoneyLaundering

I trust Brandon on this issue like I do with how he’s handling the border crisis right now = ZERO!

@Christo Johnson How is it harming NATO when they wanted Russia to have a monopoly on their oil when the U.S. pays for their defense? All Trump wanted was for NATO to pay their fair share which would have actually strengthened NATO against the Russians.

@Mark Ulis *Let's go Ashli*

Let's go Ashli.

Russia can't cross that border but anyone can invade the United States right?? Lmao 🤣

@Fair Treatment ??? we welcome them in, pay for them to live and let them vote, wtf are you talking about

Blinken is just like his boss. An empty suit. These two fools are lost.

Blinken is like Henry the Longshanks' weakly son. This soybean isn't scaring anyone. Better send in some of those political scientists, womens' studies majors, and crisis counselors to bring this to a swift and meaningful conclusion. When doers TransTeam6 leave for Kiev, derp dee derr? Does he really make your survival instinct flare?

Massive consequences? Well, we already imposed economic sanctions on Russia, so what else can we do? Go to war with them? It's not like war with Iraq or Afghanistan where we can bomb them, and they can't bomb us back. In my opinion, there is no reason why American youth should spill their blood in Ukraine. We should have learned that in Vietnam. Ukraine has the misfortune of being located right between two hostile entities. They ought to develop the smarts to figure out how to stay neutral.

Sounds like Obama all over again. "Don't cross the line, or else we eat your cake..." Putin: lets do it...

this is getting old, Russia should just do it. the US is to weak to do anything about it.

@Nico Crestmere Ukraine is not America's problem. Stay out of it.

@Nico Crestmere Google your latest epic failure..Afghanistan. You're not what you think you are.

Riiiiight. Go ahead and Google Battle of Kasham and get back to me on which side is weak and will get their azzes handed to them.

Isn't this the same guy that was on vacation when 13 Marines were getting blown up by a suicide bomber and our citizens and equipment were being abandoned in Afghanistan? Trustworthy.

And once again Biden hides at camp David 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Jeremy James no one argues that.

@Americas Americas lol

*"massive consequences"* Oh no they're gonna make them use pronouns.

Lmao

massive consequences = 10% for the "big guy"

Lol🤣!! EXACTLY. "Lets Go Brandon!!" HARRIS, BLINKEN, MAYORKAS.,.

more like 99.99%

No need to warn, Russia will decide for what they have to do!😁😆😅

It's a civilized version of Afghanistan

Mean tweets > war

@De Se Huh? What on Earth lmao Good god you're either (a) joking or (b) to far down the rabbit hole of conspiracy to be helped.

If the US were still energy independent and Net exporter, we could pressure Russia - but since we are no longer independent, that's out the window

@Randy Henderson BS we were never bargaining with oil

the USA is pretty much energy independent and the USA's energy independence has very little to do with this situation

why pressure russia when it's not even our business.. same applies for china-taiwan. literally - just fix america first.

Amen, Fred. Go woke, go broke. Because Brandon caved to "climate change" crazies, we now have nothing to bargain with. Good lord, Brandon is a disaster.

Remember when Fox News used to make fun of Blinky? And Pointed out the FACT that he REGULARLY exaggerated the situation and was untrustworthy?

@Jason Tabor same to you

@0:52 he looks like he's going to laugh at the lies he's about to tell us.

@Mark Ulis I cruise through most news programs ..I pass on CNN and npr

@Mark Ulis your last comment says it all you dont know what "good and evil" is! You have no moral compass it's whatever you "feel like"! That says it all! Hopefully someday you will!

Margaret does a great interview and is an excellent moderator.

I hope we gave them a list of vital Ukrainian infrastructure not to attack.

putin has ours list of 16 of ours, and the taliben has the list of americans o'biden abandoned ... it's only fair

He's going to do what Obama would do and send them a "very, strongly worded letter".

Drop leaflets again.

He could borrow Blowbamas phone and pen put he'd probably just order ice cream and pizza.

"Massive consequences", I can't imagine the fear and apprehension Vladimir is experiencing as a result of this statement by Blinken, because it means JB the hollow husk, will then make a speech and everything will quickly go back to "normal". Tomorrow the sun will shine brighter and the birds will sing more joyously. Yes, we're in good hands with this regime.

@Watcher WLC Finally someone with some sense, you speak facts. The last 4-5 regimes have been awful not just this one.

I hope that's sarcasm

Is that the communistic regime or the MEXICO CARTELS REGIME?

After viewing this interview and double talk from the Secretary ...God help us all. Thank you for asking some very difficult important and hard questions. Obviously the secretary is playing soft ball with the Russians.

@Adriano Sverko Vlad most certainly. He understands the US military is weak. Don't you think that if he thought it was strong, he will not dare to rebuild USSR ?

@Adriano Sverko that is what I'm talking about, Afghanistan... They way we left is pathetic. I am very sad for the people who were left behind

@Hawk T 2 lol, that's about another story. I am talking about Afghanistan. There is no point being there. the US left, and NATO and Russia before them, and England before Russia, and Persia before that and Macedonia before that

@Adriano Sverko who's laughing? The whole world is laughing at this gong show administration

News anchor schooling Secretary of State. Help us, oh Lord.

Mags is usually on point

she's got Great legs.

The "massive consequences" will be a severe scolding from the President himself!

@stevepd1 Yes, but that cannot take off. Taliban could only taxi it on airport. It was left behind because it was not worth bringing it back. American soldiers are not fools to leave sensitive technology behind. Part of the reason why Afghanistan govt. lost was they did not have any significant resources to fight the Taliban.

Lets hope so

@P Pen There is evidence that at least one operational Blackhawk helicopter was left behind. I'm hoping the following it also true. In addition, "Open-source researchers at the Oryx blog have counted 25 disabled aircraft and 39 disabled helicopters in the footage coming out of Kabul airport since Monday."

Lmao...not even that

At least some us politicians are still under the impression that pretending you are strong will go a long way towards making people believe you are strong, you know the exact opposite of what was done in Afghanistan. Remember Afghanistan? This is a direct result of that debacle.

@Mark Ulis though i wonder what country is paying you.

@Mark Ulis I can't wait to deal with you betas directly.

Wait, invade a country and install a puppet...ain't that our style?

@Dylan Johnson WAS

@savagemako17 nah man USA is the greatest country on Earth.

@Edweln Diobel Pick C for all of the above. You're both right!!

No our style is too completely fail at everything and make everything far worse than it was before.

Yeah ok. And I'm sure they're just quaking in their boots. 😂

@The Damaged YouTuber 🤣

They are terrified of how Biden might smell them.

Him “warning “ Russia is like me telling my cat NO as he stares me in the eye and pushes the cup off the table anyway. We both know he’s going to do it and there will be no consequences

@Dog Consequences that are actually upheld and believed. Empty threats are just that- empty.

@Bohan Xu I’m saying much like Brandon’s mentor Obama, no country is alarmed by this admins consequences.

Great interview. Hard hitting questions and let's get down to business approach. She is good at what she does. Keep up the good work.

In a simplistic situation every country has a choice to join any group or a military alliance but if another country is certain that it will be detrimental to their security it will take actions. Here Russia feels so and it can justify itself to take steps. Here we are in a No win situation for all. However if NATO gives a guarantee that Ukraine will not NATO there will be peace in Europe. Ball is in the courts of NATO countries specifically the European countries. If the current situation leads to a shooting war blame will squarely fall on the shoulders of President Biden and the western leaders not Putin.

Way to go Joe, lead from behind, fumble your speech, and give Russia the pipeline.

Wow this is the toughest interview I have seen the Biden administration endure…And it was still a softball

Negotiations only come when human life is lost, it has always been like this if you watch and learn how wars begin and end.

Blinken s not a tough man.

He's making a very clear threat without actually saying anything specific. It appears slimy on its face because he's weaseling around using generic vagary as answers, but the reporters questions are irrelevant in this interview. He's speaking to Russia here.

Face the nation has never lived up to its name.

Deface The Nation

@Diana B But the embers are so cold you couldn't toast a marshmallow.

She grilled the Secretary more aggressively than any other journalist I've heard.

Slay The Nation is more accurate..

Mr. Blinken appears to have a weak character. I wouldn’t take him seriously

@Patriotic Mom1111 you can even hear the stutter in his voice.

He looks like he's already crapping himself, just trying to answer a few questions. Not a good sign!🤦‍♀️

I agree.

Is Biden going to have the FBI or IRS investigate Putin like he does his own political adversaries here in the US ?

modern history distinctly remember the line " it's just a military exercises" on the borders of Georgia before they invaded

@Anders Eckstrand is there a public support in Russia to oppose and to challenge the will of international community ?!

Georgia the US State or Georgia the Slavic country?

in the US even journalists are warmongers ' go harder! go harder!' these people can't even start to comprehend the possible negative consequences of what they are asking him to do

Praying for peace from the Philippines

I'm moving there 🐥😘

The incompetence of this administration is astounding.

It's funny how she asks all the questions which depict Russia as the aggressor, yet she fails to ask the one very basic question of WHY exactly is the US trying so hard to establish a military base in Ukraine and on Russia's door steps???!!!

@sonia julie The Iron Curtain was Soviet Union, not Russia.

@backcountry164 Well, judging from the many people who've liked my comment, it seems like it's NOT BS. So maybe it's not as simple as you would like to make it.... Instead of jumping the gun, why don't you think and research the subject a little more.

@fredarzani1 Just stop Vladamir. No one is buying your BS. You asked for examples and then when they were provided you just started spewing gibberish and excuses. Obviously no one can answer a question that just keep changing and is based on lies and nonsense.

They're always "very focused" but devoid of solutions or action!!!!

OK, give one "solution".

Very Focused indeed ......LOL

Blinken is in soooo far over his head it aint funny!

Blinken is not to be trusted after his ineptness in the handling of the Afghanistan debacle! Let's go Brandon!

Let's go Ashli!

Let’s Go Brandon!!!!!!

LET'S GO BRANDON. 👍👍👍👍

I believe this video needs to be condensed down to the facts. Blinken, "there will be massive consequences" Putin, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That’s what happens when we have a clown in the White House. Other countries don’t respect us anymore.

Putin said the same thing in Syria America, 🤣🤣🤣

Gotta get the red sharpie out. draw some new lines in the sand. if he steps over this line. we draw another here, here and here.

When someone starts with “there will be massive consequences if…” you know its bullcrap

It is incredible the difference in Secretary's of State from the previous administration and this lightweight. He has no confidence and does not exhibit it.

Blinken: We are working how not to let Ukraine join Nato without saying it and where the Russians will be satisfy.

This interview looks like SNL show than a real one So soft and calm like guided meditation.

The whole Biden 😴😴 administration is a SNL SKIT. LOL

Wow!! Great journalism! So rare. CBS will probably reprimand her for doing such a good job.

Finally a reporter that pressures these so called leaders into giving us an answer.

"If you don't do what we say, we'll abandon all of our equipment and go home." -The Country that hasn't won a war in nearly a century, aka America, aka us.

Sadam Hussein disagrees. So do his russian made tanks.

well lets look at the facts. The U.S led coalition forces overthrew the Taliban from power within 3 months of the first shots fired. U.S Took over Afghanistan for 18 years, created a working government and Afghan Army. Said they are well self dependent now and left. Afghan Army of 300k troops folds like a house of cards when weak Taliban came back with only 40k troops and somehow thats a Lose on America? Hows that make sense? You can lead a horse to water but you cant force it to drink👍👍👍👍 the same works with freedom. South Korea the only country who the appreciates U.S fighting for them to keep them free look how prosperous they have become👍 North Korea is done for no matter how many nukes they get.

This will Be The Last War.

The only thing they can do is negotiate. What needs to be understood is, what will the depth of involvement become. And, do Americans need to prepare and what way.

Credit to her, she asked tough questions

This lady is on point. She should be the Defense Secretary!

@Joel Davis wow so emotional. You think the guy in charge is any better. He seems softer than a marshmallow

Bullsh*t. It's easy for her to act tough and look good on camera when it's not her job to call the shots between a potential conflict between the world's two greatest nuclear superpowers. Give me a break...

we cant even secure our own border, why waste our asset somewhere else. we need to help us, not someone else.

@Heath T I am def not a tucker fan, but he happened to do a good interview. Broken clock occasionally gets it right

@Katie Sigmon you should lead with "I'm a fan of Tucker Carlson" and save everybody some time in the future 🤣

The worst possible assembly of people you could possibly get to fight a war. This is scary

Bless his heart. This little man couldn’t threaten a flea.

“Ukraine… my dad and granddad worked for that company in Pennsylvania when I grew up” — President Biden PS when is he going to take the cognitive test?

Hahahahahaha, how could you not be emboldened to do what ever you wanted to do with this administration.

Anthony Blinken, 0 for 2 when "negotiating" with hostile foreign powers (first China and now Russia).

About time Face the Nation is doing some actual reporting and asking of serious questions !! Thank you!

If this comes at the cost of American lives it’s time to reconsider our form of government

we should have been reconsidering it after the Korean War then

I think Blinken meant that the U.S. helps Saudi Arabia commit massive massacres in Yemen.

Good reporting. It did not yield much. But you held him to the questions that you wanted to answer. He just wasn't able to answer.

Margaret asked great questions to Blinken! I believe Russia will do it and they couldn’t care less about the sanctions.

"hey, you guys are gonna have some serious explaining to do if you use your military to seize another country's area and add it to your borders" ",,,y'know,,, again,,, like you did Crimea..."

This is the type of guy from DC who goes to see a dominatrix after giving his daily interview.

Iran-Saudi sudden diplomatic relations after 6 years of break-up. A smart move from Saudis to not put all the eggs in one basket. The improved relations with Iran, Russia, and China are a good insurance policy. It seems US has outplayed its role in the Middle East. They are realizing US leadership is declining in the middle east for over 15 years. Asean economy soon will surpass that of the EU. The US asked Saudi Arabia to upgrade and renovate the oil refineries in Houston but the Saudis said no. But a year later, the Saudis built a brand new refineries in China worth about 10 billion dollars. Is it because the Saudis wants the US to stay dependent on the oil from them? The US asked the Saudis repeatedly to increase production of oil but there’s a long silence from the other end. They’re only selling oil to China and to Russia and they get paid in digital currency, technology or weapons from Russian.

I want a dominatrix!!!!

@John Dymond haha

I thought the same thing lmao

You gotta feel so secure having tony at the helm

This is totally uncalled for. Once again the elite start war!

Wow these weren’t all softballs. Good interview

Bravo, Margaret! Cheers from🇷🇺

She just hammered him in this interview and exposed him for the fool that he is..

Whatever Russia does, the USA is foolish to think they can intervene. We could not even help a bunch of desert-folk.

To be fair, Russia along with many other countries couldn't either. The U.S. is a very powerful force, arguably the most powerful in the world, we could intervene, but at what cost?

Thank goodness BIDEN told Putin "what he wanted him to know".

Can you imagine the difference it would make to warn Mexico and South America like this as well? Blinking should threaten them with massive consequences if they keep letting all their people break through our border unvetted. I wonder what would happen if he warned them like he is Russia lol

Putin is just going to laugh at anything Biden says. #letsgobrandon

@Diana B what’s your source on Trump’s Oval Office meeting with the Russian Ambassador? Guaranteed it’s hearsay or made up in a Woodward book…lol

@Diana B Making NATO members pay for USA military and support is not weakening NATO. You have the short memory.

Good job Margaret! I hope you don't get into any troubles with your bosses for the tough questions. :-/

"Massive consequences?" Secretary of State Blinken said this but Biden BLINKED.

Russia itself might not be a threat alone but they also have partners. We don't want to get involved at a time with our economy so fragile and our people so demoralized.

@Jeffery Tokarsky well the fact that it is a global effort thanks to NATO makes it less scary. Unfortunately war tends to accelerate technological advancement to adapt tools for the purpose of solving military needs. So yes, war is typically good for economies as it creates employment, additional economic activity, and the development of new technologies which filter through to other industries. With as many countries standing behind Ukraine after we witnessed Russia take Crimea back in 2015. I would hope that we stand behind our Allies who are calling on us to help. Ukraine has been begging the United States to get involved for years. I don’t want this to take away from the sentiment that this isn’t a US problem and we have enough problems here. We do have a lot going on in the US as is already and our leaders whether they be Republican or Democrat dont seem to know what they are doing. But with the way Russia is acting and has acted in the past if we don’t stop this now they won’t stop they’ll keep taking countries they deem as part of the Russian Federation. The whole world already stood idle when they took Crimea even though nobody recognizes it as a Russian state. Now they are going for more and if we stand idle again how long will it be before they take another country. Now we do have nukes nowadays but Russia, China, Britain, France, and the US have admitted that no one can win a nuclear war. Couple this with the New START agreement that just got extended to 2026. I think it’s clear the intentions are not to go nuclear but to keep it a conventional war. So all in all something should be done about Russia, they have taken Crimea in 2015 they should not be able to take Ukraine. I’m not saying that war is the answer to this but what else are we supposed to think when Russia is very clearly going to try and take Ukraine just as they did Crimea. Are we supposed to do nothing and leave our allies to do this alone? Enough people out of country already don’t like the US. I think not getting involved in this when you have major US allies like Britain, France, Germany, Canada, and more would be a slap to the face of our allies and will hurt us more than it will help us. Sources: https://www.reuters.com/world/china/russia-china-britain-us-france-say-no-one-can-win-nuclear-war-2022-01-03/ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_START#2021 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation_of_Crimea_by_the_Russian_Federation

I know times are hard but look at the history and the facts. We became a major world economic power because of a lot of things but if you sit here and say WWII didn’t help our economy the history shows it bolstered our economy to a world leading one. It’s sad to say it but war prints money.

China and Iran and more ...

M Brennan sounds very hawkish, itching for a strong response and forcefully arguing for imposing sanctions now. I’m shocked that she is so militant and anxious to impose sanctions even before any invasion, thus eliminating any incentives not to invade.

Smh not this again…from now on I’ll have a drink 🥃 every time Blinken says the word ( worn )

I still think it's funny we have an "A. Blinken" in office. I can't stop thinking about Robin Hood Men in Tights. Ahchoo: A Blinkin! Blinkin: Did somebody say "Abe Lincoln"? Ahchoo: No I didn't say "Abe Lincoln". I said, "Hey Blinkin". On a serious note, All any civilized country can do when an uncivilized country invades another, is apply sanctions. In this case, it's just gonna be us showing Russia that we don't like what they're doing.

Blinken: Stop it Russia. Russia: Sends more troops and conducts more exercises. US looks weak after pullouts from Iraq and Afghanistan. Ukraine will be left to it's own defense like Afghanistan and Vietnam. Should have either stayed to win or not invaded in the first place.

This administration won’t do anything just like their track record

To be fair America never really does anything until it's directly attacked.

Like any good stage magician, Joe is having us focus on planned and pre announced Russian military training exercises to take our focus off a dismal domestic situation.

the point isn't for war to actual start, but to come to a common ground to not start war whilst negotiating a way out of such situations. however with our governments leaders... yeah idk so much about us being able to prevent a war.

United State is responsible for all this

Good interview!

Blinken reminds me of the cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz .. ‘Put ‘em up, put ‘em up…you wanna fight.. ? Put ‘em up..which one of you first..? I’ll take both of you on.. you and China.. I’ll take you on with one hand behind my back…😂😂😂

"Thanks O'Biden." - Putin probably
