We got a banger today from @alexbward and @QuintForgey on why experts thought Feb. 16 was never really going to be the day Russia invades Ukraine ... but why ~Feb. 20 might be.https://t.co/r422PE3O4s via @politico (and with help from @magmill95 @paulmcleary and @dlippman )— Ben Pauker (@benpauker) February 16, 2022

Exact dates were never expressed. What was said was that Russia could invade “as soon as Feb 16.” Feb 20th would fall in that timeframe. This is not news. Neither is saying western intel was wrong. It wasn’t.

Warmongers cannot fail, they can only be failed.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.
