An estimated 100,000 Russian troops have been deployed close to Ukraine's borders and a reported 30,000 more are engaged in exercises in Belarus, close to its 1,084km (674 miles) border with Ukraine. This is not a secret... ABC, CNN, BBC, AL Jazeera all reporting on troop movements near the border and Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.... Are all you saying Putin never threatens or takes military action and this is all fake?
righties are taking a page from the uber lefties; "America always bad". "If Putin farts, it's America's fault because we farted in the past"
Look at those futures. Imagine that. Russia Says Pullback Begins; Putin Meets Scholz: Ukraine Update The Ukrainian Border Guard patrol along the Ukrainian border fence at a border crossing between Ukraine, Russia and Belarus, in Senkivka, Ukraine, on Feb. 14. Bloomberg News February 15, 2022, 7:23 AM UTCUpdated onFebruary 15, 2022, 8:43 AM UTC Russia’s Defense Ministry said Tuesday that some troops would return to their regular bases after completing drills, local media reported, as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is set to meet President Vladimir Putin. U.S. warnings of a possible Russian attack on Ukraine had reached their most urgent level yet this week. The pair are meeting one day after Scholz’s visit to Ukraine, when President Volodymyr Zelenskiy rattled markets with a sarcastic comment about the rest of the world predicting a date for an attack by Russia. Putin’s top diplomat, meanwhile, urged the Russian leader to continue talks with the West.
Putin willing to do anything to show he will not be told what to do by the West.... Maybe this was just a flex to put a scare in but it seemed to work as Europe certainly panicked..
The Russian “Parliament” - if that’s what you want to call it - voted this morning to recognize militant republics in Kremlin controlled areas of Ukraine, aka Donbas. Take from this what you will but Putin is putting out a lot of information today to sort of scramble things up. Are units returning home, maybe. Are other units moving into attack positions, yes. Has parliament in Russia given Putin a catalyst for invasion or an opportunity to walk away. Who knows. The point here is don’t trust the Russians. The more movement and information they push into the sphere the more it is meant to conceal and distract. Never trust the Russians.
After all the posturing of the West... it turns out what is delaying the Russian invasion is Omicron overwhelming their ranks.

Reports of cyber attacks in Ukraine on banking, defense and government - I’d say wait for cell signals to get jammed before calling it the beginning though.
