They will invade.

We will send Blinken to the UN with a very strongly worded letter. Russia and China would veto any motion in the Security Council.

Hopefully, all of the Biden secrets will leak out from Kiev (or however they spell it these days.)

“A flatbed rail wagon speeding through south-west Russia last week carried an ill omen for negotiations to avert a larger war with Ukraine.”

To again quote (or paraphrase) Scotty from Star Trek: “The best diplomat that I know of is a fully loaded phaser bank”.

If this war is averted it will be because Ukraine decided that being friends with Russia wasn’t so bad, after all.

“Russia ain’t our ally, but he’s far better than...”

Agree, but they will be, if we come to our senses and look at the alternatives.

They’ll go back and forth until the 2022 elections. The Dems need Covid as cover for “vote by Mail”.

I’m more concerned about Biden or his cabal of inner circle morons doing something stupid that gets us in a direct confrontation with a Nuclear Powered and Rogue Nation.

With Biden at the helm it’s like a 10 year old piloting a 747 loaded with 500 passengers across the Atlantic.

We’re in deep shit thanks to our Supreme Court, RINO state legislatures, Pence, the Marxist Party (some still call it the Democrat Party), RINO’s in Congress and dozens of courts that wouldn’t even look at evidence of The Steal.

IF I Ike or Nimitz or Bull Halsey was leading our military I would be less concerned but with Silly Millie leading it....................jeez!..........we’re in deep shit.

Ukraine is Biden’s little ATM.

Putin knows it.

The daily Imminent Russian attack story. I thought it wasn’t scheduled until February 2022?

“America, you voted for this. thank you.”

I wish the actual vote reflected the Presidency. For accuracy, should have said, “America, you allowed a demented old fool to steal the election.”

Trump did his part with at least 5,000,000 votes than any of the Dem contenders in the past 12 years (and yes they cheated then too)? And closer to 10,000,000 more voters than Dem in the last two elections. He also got more votes than any Republican Presidential Candidate in history.

69,498,516 Obama 2008
65,915,795 Obama 2012
65,853,514 Hillary 2016
74,216,154 Trump 2020

“If Russia goes to war in Ukraine, it still needs to take a number of steps: establishing fuel supply lines, opening field hospitals, and deploying air-defense systems such as the Buk that would protect its heavy weaponry and troops near the front.”

I wonder how long it would take to accomplish this? It might give us a timeline to invasion. Can they do this in a week, month, couple of months?

These pictures are from all over the place and not necessarily current. I recognize the one train pic from the spring buildup. The artic ones, like the Pantsir are from articles on the the Russian arctic buildup. Some could be from Donetsk last year.
But it is the guardian, the NYT of GB.

Ha.

I think I speak for all of us here when I say “Yuck” about the Biden elimination status. Time to retire.

War by the end of January—is my guess. Russia loves to fight in a snow storm. Our air power will be reduced and Europe to dependent on Russian gas to say a peep. All south of Deiper River will be in Russian hands before anyone can act. End of war—March.

Depressing.

You’re probably right.

“..All south of Deiper River will be in Russian hands before anyone can act. End of war—March....”

Most likely true. And when China sees it happen, it will be the end of Taiwan as well.
There is no one with the balls to stop em.
Diaper Joe, Woke Milley and racist Blinkin are all total jokes. They are nothing to Putin. Both Putin and Xi smell their weakness and gain strength on it...like jackals.
The communist RAT SOBs have decimated out military to almost nothing as well.
