Ok so sure we were wrong. There wasn't an invasion Wednesday. But you gotta trust me they're definitely invading in three days.

    America is desperate to project some sort of imperial might. Getting wrecked in Afghanistan and by covid has shown the world how incompetent our government and leaders really are.

    This will also be a great excuse for Biden to inflate the military budget even more. "Gee man, I'd like to give healthcare, but the Russians man! Oh, those crazy Russians! I hear that Rasputin guy is a demon or something, so we are spending billions in anti-demon missiles."

      It sucks so hard that Biden has a bunch of easy problems that he can fix entirely with his own authority (student loan debt, drug criminalization, deportations, etc.) but instead this is America's priority. Just itching to sacrifice a bunch of people on the other side of the planet to prove that America can still do something. It's so bleak.

          Oh absolutely, I never expected him to do anything about that. The only positive of his whole presidency will be me delivering a Cassandra-sized "I fucking told you so" to every one of my lib friends once the Dems eat absolute shit in 22 and 24.

            In hindsight, Biden getting voted in has been just marvelous for radicalization. On the other hand, it's going to cause the Mask-off Ghoul Party to get re-elected and plenty of Libs would rather double down and punch left than wake up and smell reality.

                Press people on how much Biden has fundamentally changed the "going-ons" of the US after Trump. After that, you need to have a response-tree prepared since libs have been somewhat creative in mental gymnastic-ing rationalizations. For example, if Biden doesn't want to rock the boat too much with what he actually could do (via executive order) to later enact necessary reform while keeping the US "stable", when? Before the GOP likely wins 2024? Furthermore, can they point to the part of American history where this has actual precedence?

              A lot of them are receptive but haven't taken the dive over into leftism. A few for sure will just say "Joe Manchin" until they turn into a corncob.

    Anglo's really seem to be salivating over something happening and daydreaming about war with another country. It's such a weird perspective that I could never understand. I remember being in New York during the Ukraine crisis in 2014. Some dude was slamming his fists on a table and screaming about how the US should drop bombs over Russia and wipe them out.

    Biden is not that Dense i fear , US is Heating it Up currently in the Donbass there is much shelling going on .. and if Ukraine advances to much , to fast Russia will have to Act , (no concrete Advances reported in Donbass until now, but Evacuations and EW jamming )

    Then 90% of the Puplic will think its a Russian aggression because of all the Groundwork for this Narrative that has been employed so far.. .

    Distort the Cause and the Reaction and thereby shaping the planted Narrative.. Distract US Puplic , Force Puplic Pressure on NS 2 , Coherce Europe , that might be the Plan.

    Plan could also be that Putin just demonstrating Raw power or something forcing Minsk on Ukraine with a Hybrid "Economic- Military- Diplomatic Response" Wrecking Ukraine ... And he felt its the right time .. This is like great power Politics as Ukraine has all but Offically announced it does not intent to Implement Minsk 2 (Talking to the Rebels, Federalisation , Minority Rights)

          I fear the US is about to do some gulf of tonkin style bullshit to justify yet another imperialist war, because the EU isn’t showing interest, just like the EU wasn’t showing interest when the coup happened in 2014

          Yeah, this is what worries me. Last week or so the US did the "Russia is totally gonna do a false flag attack you guise, trust me bro" thing, and all I could think was that this is the US telling us all what they're actually planning on doing.

          Oh yeah I generally agree with this assessment, that being said I don't put it past anyone to do something really stupid. I am just interested in any non state department stuff that might shed light on things.

Polish support ,Baltic Support ... British .. Canadian ...

        which makes no sense , Because why would Russia Desire a New Afgahnistan , Russia allready got what it wanten with Ukraine in writing MINSK 2 and Germany and France are garantor of it.. So Pressure makes sense Invasion does not...

        100.000 - 140.000 is way to low for Any Invasion Task .. Ukraine has 250.000 Active , 900.000 Reservist and a bunch of Black Shit and Information link and stuff with Nato .. And they rotated in and out of the Donbass line so have some expirence. Javelins and Stingers .

        Attack is like 1:3 Skale and for a Occupation yo need way more as well ... Russia does not intent to go into Urban warfare with western Supplied Fascist in the Russian Majoriy Areas ..... 44 Milion Peope - Largest EU Country by Mass ...

        Ukraine received about 30% of the Soviet military industry, which included between 50 and 60 percent of all Ukrainian enterprises, employing 40% of its working population. Ukraine was a leader in missile-related technology,[155] navigation electronics for combat vessels and submarines, guidance systems, and radar for military jets, heavy armoured vehicles.

        The military-technical policy in the field of development and modernization of weapons and military equipment provides the Central Scientific Research Institute of Armament and Military Equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.[156]
