Over the past few months, top Western officials and media have repeatedly accused Moscow of seeking to attack Ukraine, with the allegedly looming ‘invasion’ repeatedly described as “imminent.” No solid evidence to back up such claims, however, has ever emerged.
The latest batch of claims came earlier on Saturday, when multiple media outlets cited anonymous sources who claimed that Moscow could attack Kiev next Wednesday. Moscow has consistently denied the allegations, maintaining it harbors no plans to attack Ukraine or anyone else.
They never have evidence.....................
“No solid evidence to back up such claims, however, has ever emerged.”
The evidence is not immediately obvious to everyone. That there is armor and troops massed on Ukraine’s border are disturbing on their own and Russia does not dispute the fact of Russian forces deployed along the Ukrainian frontier.
Putin claims this is all just a drill. That may be the case.
The concern is that satellite pictures show a significant movement of logistical support and personnel that far exceeds what Russia typically deploys for drills or maneuvers and Zapad 17 (a massive training exercise in the same theatre) set the bar for logistical support.
Currently the Russians have deeper logistical support for this ‘drill’ than they did for Zapad 17.
Maybe that’s part of the drill.
But one of my friends who is still active duty says the Russians are kitted out for either a long campaign in Ukraine or a sightseeing trip to Berlin.
That’s part of why you see the Euros crapping themselves is because there’s not much to stop the Russians from going to Berlin or anywhere else in Europe if they wanted to do so right now.
Which has me thinking of how the Democrats disarmed the USA under the so-called “Peace Dividend” and now here we are scrambling to get our proverbial pants on to defend against an enemy who didn’t go away he just took some time off.
Point is, should have talked, listened, and worked this out instead of pushing NATO on Ukraine and possibility of troops on their border. But no, Biden and libs push, no listen.
