NATO and Western governments said they had seen no signs of de-escalation yet Tuesday, despite the Russian Defense Ministry’s announcement that it is pulling back forces from maneuvers that had heightened concerns about an invasion. Russia gave no details on where the troops were pulling back from, or how many.

Where works Tucker, Qanon, and the GOP get their disinformation from?

Can I suggest Crazy Eddie down in front of the Venetian Hotel? He’s always babbling about Elvis and aliens.

Because we know that this is how it will start--take down communication and financial capabilities.

Putin wants more negotiations, my ass!

He doesn't care about the sanctions; he believes the West cannot live without Russia's oil & gas resources.

It's a fair bet.

Will he take the Rus-dominated East of Ukraine, or take the entire country? Occupying Kyiv is a larger gamble than carving out territory to the east of the Dneiper.

Feb 2022

It is 2140 local, Temps in the high 20s F. Clouds moving in between 0300-0400, temp will remain below freezing until approximately 1300 16/02/2022. Minimal precipitation expected for the next 72-96 hours.

Translation-there is a good window for military operations that will close in a few days. We will know if Putin has been bluffing soon.
