Putin is using the KGB playboook and pantsing Brandon. The Russian Army is going to invade Ukraine but under the “peacekeeping” false flag. And Brandon will do nothing about it.

This reminds me that the bad guys in the show “Farscape” were called “The PeaceKeepers,” cuz they’d make peace by invading you and adding you to the empire!

Not the media but actually some here did state Putin already had a foot in the door in Ukraine and that he was using this wag the dog event from Brandon to get a better footing in the country.

The seeds of this current mess go back to when the western governments, including the US, were openly supporting ethnic breakaway states in the former Yugoslav republics. Remember Kosovo?

The Baltic states are next .

I still don't believe that, I think Putin is just saying those things from a negotiating point of view, but he is not going to directly attack a NATO country. He knows better than that. He's just using the NATO excuse to justify his moves in Ukraine.

But, of course, as Dennis Miller would say, "That's just my opinion, I could be wrong."

Go back to MSNBC or CNN where you belong as they never met any interventionist wars they didn’t like, you neocon.

Putin won’t annex Donbas. It’s much more useful to him to have it inside Ukraine and where stage manage events at his leisure.

Agreed. That's where the opportunities were lost after the Cold War, to nip this crap in the bud. But the West decided to rub the Russians' nose in it, much as The Versailles Treaty rubbed Germany's noses in it, with tragic results.

But, when news broke earlier that Putin was going to recognize the independence of the two Russian-backed rebel regions I thought it was a sly, calculated and savvy geopolitical move. It was something I didn't see in the cards, and put Putin's foot squarely in the door for occupation. And, honestly, I don't recall seeing anyone in the media predict this move, either.

Seems to have blind-sided our intelligence agencies, as well. Odd, since they claimed to have known just about everything about what the Russians were doing.

Putin is just taking Biden at his word. He said that he would not stop Putin if he did something that wasn’t too awful.

Yaa, good point, still though it is easy to see how he is using history and the Sudeten crises to one up the wets, our “leaders” are feckless bafoons.

Putin is a bad guy but he is not a bad leader. Some may hate me saying that but one underestimates him at their own peril.

Putin is just going to march the Russian Army into Donbas. Maybe he’ll lead the parade bare chested on a horse. No need for any invasion since the border was destroyed 8 years ago by Russia.
