Russia has in place about 70% of the combat power it believes it would need for a full-scale invasion of Ukraine and is sending more battalion tactical groups to the border with its neighbor, two U.S. officials said on Saturday.
... Ukraine could suffer 5,000 to 25,000 troop casualties, while Russia's troop casualties could be between 3,000 and 10,000, and civilian casualties could range from 25,000 to 50,000, according to U.S. estimates, the official said...

Do you know what they call 10,000 dead Russian soldiers?
A good start.
CIA propaganda being lapped up by Neocons.
Imminent!!!!!
I do think you know the meaning of that word...
How long before we hear U.S. officials say the Russian military lacks the diversity needed for a successful invasion? /s
Who are “they?”

Chickenhawk
So when does Mean Dude CornPoppa Joe release the nuclear codes.
Nonsense.
As an American, I have learned, to understand the truth in domestic and world political affairs, you need to start with the exact OPPOSITE of what deep-state and their controlled media say, and then do your own independent thinking from there.
There will be no invasion of the Ukraine.
While every body was busy with watching the Eastern Ukraine borders, Putin just occupied Belarus where the People were rioting against the election cheat organized for their Russian puppet to win.
Belarus is now occupied by Russia as of last Wednesday...30 thousand Russian Troops, armor, and a couple of squadrons of fighter jets. Set...game and match.The Russians are there to stay.
Belarus can never be a democracy now, even though the people voted for it. That is what got Putin “concerned”for Belarus had almost beocome a Western democracy.Putin stopped that cold. The Ukraine fiasco is a ruse.Putin has hoodwinked NATO and rope a doped Geriatric Joe.What a laugh!
See:
“This is the biggest Russian deployment there since the Cold War, with an expected 30,000 combat troops” as well as Spetsnaz special operations forces, SU-35 fighter jets, S-400 air defence systems and nuclear-capable Iskander missiles, he said.”
“Went from invasion being “imminent” to 70% of needs.”
Their intelligence...wasn’t?
The “Sacking of Kiev” would only be possible if Ukrainians were French gun droppers.
I’ve seen no evidence the Ukranians will be French gun droppers.
The Russian army, however....
I agree, the Russian Troops in Belarus are to prop up the Belarussian government.
The Belarus front isn’t sustainable for the invasion of Ukraine. It would be a killing field, and the Belarus government would be overthrown by the people in a few months, and the Russians would have a two front war.
Crimea made sense. Attacking Ukraine through Belarus makes no sense. People suggesting this is viable are nuts.
Biden Administration Propaganda
From the article
“The U.S. officials did not provide evidence to back up their estimates of Russia’s forces.”
Of course they didn’t, they have stories to tell.
Message to the Dimjo Administration:
I DO NOT CONSENT!!
I know zero people in actual life that care about Russia/Ukraine.
“I’ve seen no evidence the Ukranians will be French gun droppers.”
How do you tell the difference between Russians & Ukrainians?
Answer:
“You can’t, because they all look the same & all speak Russian.”
None of our business.
Why is Beijing Joe wasting US time and money on this shenanigans? China is 50x the threat of the former Soviet Union. They are progressing rapidly in AI, Quantum Computing, hypersonic missiles, and in owning most of US elected representatives by proxy. Useless diversion, Ukraine.
