[brettdale]

It seems the news changes from hour to hour???

If he does this will be a disaster for the world, in every sense.

The loss of life, the war crimes that will be committed, etc etc.


Putin is a trump, and he is going to want something and Biden has integrity.


What are people's gut feeling???

[Walleye]

1. In my opinion Putin will launch full-scale war anytime

We can’t count on Putin to do the rational thing

3. I agree. Ukraine would be a massive land grab

as part of his dream to rebuild the Soviet Union.

5. Taking over territory is practically in his DNA

2. Dunno, but I'm watching this DU thread with some interest:

4. Putin is not a Trump

Trump is a Putin-wannabe

6. Odds are up now the Olympics are over.

China gave Putin its blessing but won't be disappointed if Putin crashes and burns. And if not, they'll see it as permission to grab Taiwan.

9. Yes Taiwan is next on the agenda.

[UTUSN]

7. One way or the other - passively or aggressively.

[PortTack]

8. He has erected extensive field hospitals, has the largest blood banking possible ongoing

Has told all Russians to leave Georgia EXCEPT men ages 18-55

The facts are just mind numbing!

A spokesman for UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has told a media briefing that intelligence reports suggest Russian President Vladimir Putin intends to launch an invasion of Ukraine.

"The intelligence we are seeing suggests that Russia intends to launch an invasion and that President Putin's plan has already begun," the spokesman told reporters.
