In hourlong call, Biden
says invasion would bring
‘swift and severe costs’
HOLLYWOOD
Biden told Russia’s Vladimir Pu-
tin that invading Ukraine would
cause “widespread human suffer-
ing” and that the West was com-
mitted to diplomacy to end the
crisis but “equally prepared for
other scenarios,” the White House
said Saturday. It offered no sug-

gestion that the hourlong call di-
minished the threat of an immi-
nent war in Europe.
Biden also said the United
States and its allies would re-
spond “decisively and impose
swift and severe costs” if the
Kremlin attacked its neighbor,
according to the White House.
The two presidents spoke a day
after Biden’s national security ad-
viser, Jake Sullivan, warned that
U.S. intelligence shows a Russian
invasion could begin within days
and before the Winter Olympics
in Beijing end on Feb. 20.
Russia denies it intends to in-
vade but has massed well over
100,000 troops near the Ukrai-
nian border and has sent troops
to exercises in neighboring Be-
larus, encircling Ukraine on three
sides. U.S. officials say Russia’s
buildup of firepower has reached
the point where it could invade on
short notice.

When Mission Viejo leaders in
2020 decided to delay plans for
changing how voting is done in
the city — after nearly two years
of trying to implement a cumula-
tive system — three council mem-
bers ended up staying in office
two years longer than the terms
they were elected to.
Now a resident is asking the
state attorney general to allow
his lawsuit over the extension of
those two-year terms to four years
without a public vote. And some

GAME SNAPSHOT
The Rams are 4.5 point favorites against the AFC’s Bengals. Both teams bring in
high powered passing games. The biggest difference may be the two teams’ ability
to protect their quarterbacks. The Bengals offense gave up a league-leading 55
sacks in 2021, the Rams gave up 31. Both teams were able to pressure opposing
quarterbacks. The Rams had 50 sacks and the Bengals had 42 in the regular season.
THE QUARTERBACKS
Joe Burrow: Burrow won a National Championship at LSU and was the first overall
pick of the 2020 draft by Cincinnati. Burrow led the NFL in completion percentage
(70.3) and his 108.3 quarterback rating was 2nd in the league. Burrow sat out the
last regular-season game after getting banged up in a playoff-clinching victory
against the Chiefs in week 17.
Burrow’s leading receiver is Ja’Marr Chase, who had 1,455 receiving yards (4th in
the NFL) and the offense also features running back Joe Mixon who ran for 1,205
yards (3rd in the NFL). In good company
Matt Stafford: The Rams traded their 2016 first overall pick, Jared Goff, to Detroit Bengals’ Joe
