CNN is saying that things are in place for an attack to be launched.

EDIT — Orders may have been given.

Putin has to be rolled up tight in a rug & dropped off at Semion Mogolevich's doorstep.
He's all yours Semion, Putin failed the Oligarchy Criminal Mobsters

That's how this needs to end

Oh ya, #FreeNavalny

Actually it was Wapo and Angry Staffer.

The Biden administration has been warning of imminent attacks for days. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Saturday said Russian forces “are now poised to strike,” bolstering President Biden’s warning on Friday that Russian President Vladimir Putin had “made the decision” to attack Ukraine. The White House said Biden would convene a rare Sunday meeting of the National Security Council to assess the developing situation in Ukraine.

which might be a good cop/bad cop scenario that might shake a little sense into Putin.

Olympic ceremonies. He wants his drugged up athletes to strut their stuff for the the world to see Russian superiority. Then he will shit in the fans.

I still remember a thread here that was hysterical, in every sense of the word.

During tfg time, and someone posted that ships were “heading for” Korea, I think it was.

Numerous posters asking how to find out where air raid shelters could be found, and can their cats come with them.

I still recall it as the “panicky thread.” I might have to do a search.

that Russian troops have received orders to proceed with the attack. That was the first I heard of it. She glanced at someone on the side as if to confirm she was correct in saying that. I felt the gravity of those words.

I still hope something can be done to prevent or blunt Putin's desire for violence and conquest.

Olympics are over.

If you think about it, that's as plausible as Iraq's WMDs and yellowcake or whatever nonsense justified Bush's invasion. As if they need an excuse.

But if you are unfortunate enough to have really stupid MAGA Qanon folks in your life, you might hear some nonsensical conspiracy theories about Ukraine that Putin is bravely trying to expose.
