Ukraine president says he's been told Russia will attack Wednesday
NBC News ^ | 02/14/2022 | Alexander Smith

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday that his government has been told that Wednesday, Feb. 16, will be "the day of attack" when Russia invades Ukraine.

The United States and its allies have repeatedly warned of an imminent invasion by Russia, which has stationed some 130,000 troops near Ukraine's borders to the north, south and east. Russia denies it is planning an invasion.

"We are told that February 16 will be the day of the attack," Zelenskyy said in a written statement posted on Facebook, without saying who provided this information.

Putin would never attack on a Wednesday. He’d wait until Sunday when all the NATO troops are hung over or still brain dead from weed.

Well, I just heard on progressive radio (Sirrius) that it was President Trump’s fault. Apparently, we all brought this on. Fortunately, I got home in time to turn that crap off.

BTW, earlier on Thomm Harmann (sp?) that Stalin was a right winger because liberal leftists would never use power to control people. Must be true. What a crock.

UPDATE - Zelensky’s reference to February 16 as the day of the Russian attack was said with irony, a presidential aide now says.


He was just kidding everyone LOL

Let the Euros handle it on their own. It’s time they stand up on their own two feet.

We bailed them out twice last century and barely got a thank you from them.

There are two outcomes here:

Nothing happens Wednesday or the rest of the week. Biden puffs his chest claiming he scared off Russia.
Putin wins because Biden is weak.

Biden bombs a few targets.
Russia restricts itself to defending its soil if necessary and does not cross the border, does not engage accross the border.
Putin wins because Biden is has proven he is insane.

As long as Putin does respond to provocation and does not escalate, he wins.

This was goofball Biden who made that prediction. It looks like he is trying to stir things up.

Actually they probably will call and ask them for permission to enter the country. Otherwise, they can choose to risk everything.

If an attack looked imminent, the best thing Ukraine could do would be to host a border party for the UN. Invite every third and fourth world country to send a big delegation for free food and liquor.

And if Russia does invade, have them evacuated by air. Lots and lots of different aircraft filling the skies, making it very hard to use AAA and SAMs against warplanes.

Big sign at the border: “We are closed today. Please come back tomorrow.”
