Russia has moved some long-range artillery and rocket launchers into firing position, threatening Ukraine, according to a U.S. official.

Some Russian units have left their assembly areas — the bumper-to-bumper formations seen in satellite photos — and are beginning to move into "attack positions," according to the official. This movement marks a change since Sunday, when some of the units had left the assembly areas but had not yet taken what could be viewed as attack positions.

The U.S. believes Russia will attack Ukraine by the end of the week, although it's not yet certain what form it will take, the official said.

Once the Russian attack begins, U.S. knowledge of what is happening will dramatically decrease. Americans will have no troops on the ground and no reconnaissance planes over the air, and Russian cyber attacks and electronic warfare will blot out communications.

2. And yet another thread suggests the troop movement is due to

some Russian troops going home.

So what is going on?

. . . keep watching!

4. Probably deliberate confusion

they have Ukraine surrounded on 3 sides so they might cause a distraction somewhere and launch the attack from somewhere else

3. Jingofest produced by world's MIC.

High tension, chest thumping, posturing, threats, FEAR.

It’s performances like these, regardless if brought to climax or withdrawn, which push trillions in unobstructed tax dollars into the greedy hands of the Military Industrial Complex.

War is a racket, taxpayers of the world are the mark, gangs of morbidly rich and greedy politicians are the players. It’s a long con and has been working for a long, long time.

Fighters of the world, put down your kits in unison. PEACE.

My voice comes from what’s left of the PACIFIST LEFT. PEACE.

5. There you go, we need a Republican to jack up defense spending

none of this peace and prosperity nonsense to rebuild after COVID.
