What Russia fears among other things is a fake chemical weapons attack that will be blamed on Russia like the fake chemical attacks in Syria in recent years.

Yes.

Although the "Syrian Chemical Attacks On Innocent Children" were debunked and shown to be False Flag Attacks, no one in the West heard anything about it, so it was effective.

Even though Assad won in Syria the US/Globalist Left Propaganda was largely accepted worldwide.

Ukraine and Biden Globalist would immediately re use this False Flag warfare against Russia because it worked before.

The question is: will Russia respond or wait?

The US is already at war with Russia, just not the other way around.

There is nothing in Ukraine that’s worth a single drop of American blood or a nickel of American treasure.

Nothing.

blather. got it. If Ukraine had all this capability why didn’t they use it when Russia took Crimea from them? The idea of a Ukrainian first strike attack is amusing but, really.

America has earned its place in history as the last great Republic. I don’t wish it on my beloved country, my family or the American people, but it does seem inevitable.

The traitors within are to be more feared than enemies outside the borders. (real smart Greek dude...or was he Roman?)

Putin wants to recreate or re constitute the USSR, and instal himself as the head of the Communist Party Soviet Union. It would also recreate the KGB.

The propaganda is the same in China Vis a Vis Taiwan, and North Korea vis a vis South Korea. Xi Jinping says that we are giving hypersonic missiles and nukes to Taiwan and Japan, Putin says the same for Poland and Ukraine.

“blather. got it. If Ukraine had all this capability why didn’t they use it when Russia took Crimea from them? The idea of a Ukrainian first strike attack is amusing but, really.”

My point is, this is a dangerous game and Russia appears to be superbly confident. But what if, just what if, Ukraine now has a Rommel or Patton in charge? (I think the odds are really small, but not zero.) Russia is perhaps too confident. Rommel disobeyed orders and went very successfully on the attack the moment he got to North Africa. Patton already had a plan to handle an issue in the Ardennes before The Battle of the Bulge even happened. He saw the weakness in the lines and planned for it.

Also, there could be other players like potentially traitors in the Russia ranks. It’s reasonable to believe that lots of Russian material is getting sold to some bad actors worldwide by people who have access to the keys of warehouses. (There’s an old Russian saying from the Soviet days, it goes something like, “Don’t give me a raise, just give me the keys to the warehouse.”)

Russia has a plethora of other enemies with reason to want revenge. Men who lost family in Chechnya, for example. What a wonderful opportunity to get revenge while having someone else be blamed.

Big, and I think dangerous actions like this don’t happen in isolation from other things. Putin is riding a wave of national pride caused by his tough man stance. If his poker playing in Ukraine suddenly causes a large number of casualties he will be in serious trouble.

I do think, however, that even if Putin had a bad hand, which he doesn’t, that he can out bluff any of the other payers. Biden, I think, is playing a game in his own head, so we’ve already lost there.

Five minutes to midnight according to Putin... thus he dials it up. In Ten years the US arsenal will be able to hit Moscow in mere seconds so where will anyone in the world retreat too? The whole world is reaching the point where an aggressive nation, which Putin is showing Russia (and Xi's China as well) will need to be targeted immediately upon deployment of the weapons that can't be stopped in a first strike to neutralize them before their FEAR makes them attack and harm US (USA or we the people ).

“Putin is feeding this BS to Russian domestic audience who actually buy this crap.”

How about an American audience watching RT America?

Are they buying the same crap?

Also, how much crap have you been buying lately?

It seems like a boatload from my “stay out of Ukraine perspective.”

We should put nukes and IRBMs in Poland, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Israel, and the UK. Also beef up our nuclear, hypersonic and space capabilities. But traitor Biden and the Left want their kickbacks from Chinese and Russian (Soviet) commie dictators.

People who couldn’t name three towns in ukraine if their life depended on it, think we should spend american blood and treasure there. If you really want to show those russkies whats what, just grab your passport and fly to ukraine to join their foreign volunteers. You’ll have a chance to teach those russkies a lesson.. If you’re too old or infirm, send your kids in your place.

Defense and security policy is made with false flags by the military and law enforcement community in the United States up to and including the matter of January 6th IMHO.
