Ukraine crisis on the brink: Russia says it caught US submarine in its waters and 'drove it out' while blasting Western 'provocation' as Biden holds phone call with Putin and airlines stop flights to Kiev – hours after invasion warning
Daily Mail ^ | 2/12/22

The Russian military said today it caught a US submarine in its far-east waters and drove it out with 'appropriate means' after the vessel ignored a Russian request to leave, Interfax news agency has reported.

The encounter came as Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden held a high-stakes phone call, as a tense world watched and worried that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could begin as soon as Wednesday.

Biden warned his Kremlin counterpart that the United States 'will respond decisively and impose swift and severe costs on Russia' should it invade Ukraine.

This situation could get out of control.

It may get so out of control we might not live through it.

And none of this has to happen. It’s all contrived.

And Biden will proclaim he stared down “Corn Popov”, when Russian doesn’t invade, which they never were going to do in the first place.

No, those weren't just advisors. That's an insult to all the line combat troops who died there. 1Cav, 101st, 1st, 4th, 24, etc. ID, IMarDiv, etc..

We don't have large units like that in Ukraine. We've had troops training in there on various rotations for more than half a decade, and those are the ones that are being yanked.

That information has been public for quite awhile, so I'm not sure what you think is being hidden.

Not only is Brandon ruining what’s left of the Ukrainian economy, he has driven oil prices up by $30/barrel which means Russia is now reaping an extra $2,000,000,000 (2 billion) each month.

There has been a long term training relationship between the U.S. and the Ukraine. This is similar to relationships we have with dozens of countries. Most often we do mutual training through the National Guard State Partnership Program.

Under this program, a State will routinely, 1-3 times a year, send Army or Air National Guard units, generally company size (100-150 troops) or smaller to the same partner country. It’s a low-cost way to provide training for the Guard, and the Guard units get information about other countries as they train with their soldiers and airmen.

The units may be combat units, but the mission is strictly training.

Putin’s first expedition into Ukraine succeeded because he had both tactical and strategic surprise. It was almost over as soon as the world learned about it. And if it didn’t take the US by surprise, the Obama administration said nothing about it during Putin’s run-up. (Allowing it to happen.) In a week, the Crimea and parts of the Donbase were under Russian control.

The spotlight is on Russia and Ukraine now. If Russia had any intention of a second incursion, it’s probably shelved now. But you can bet Biden will crow about how he stopped Russia from invading Ukraine in the upcoming midterms and the 2024 campaign.

US Spec Ops could be tasked - no question. Question is—would they do it? And what total tools would do anything Biden’s clown Sullivan moron came up with to put in another Russian stooge like biden’s Burisma pal, Poroshenko, who fired the Prosecutor for Biden’s crackhead son Hunter, paid off then disappeared. Tools who have forgotten 22 Operators
murdered by the idiot joebama- for doing obamaumaos work- that’s who. Joebama this weekend is close to Mt.Weather this weekend-because he doesnt give a f about America...not one bit. Corrupt stupid senile illegitimate fraud.

One major corrupt family Biden has doing whatever commie Brennan and obamaumao’s clown embeds tell him to do or say. Cofer Black- Romney’s point man at Burisma. These a@@holes are fooling no one-blatant corrupt traitors. We see you!

Please cut out the BS. This crap is akin to the Crucified Canadian crap in WW1. Pure giddy minds and foreign quarrels propaganda. With our southern border being deliberately eliminated Americans should focus on what is existential not soap opera slop.

Interesting that Britain is withdrawing all troops from Ukraine.....

Everyone abroad is upset Biden and our media are hyping for war. But this is how the Demorats operate. They create major crisis’s and end up shaking down foreign leaders to go along...heavy handed and otherwise.

It is stunning the degree of alarm this administration has created worldwide. They use the world stage to create instability here and abroad.

This all feels and has the earmarks like Libya and other Middle East wars the Obama/Clinton administration created in pushing for a centralized government where they have compliant nation leaders....if they don’t go along then the administration will use their propaganda machinery to stir things up until they yield.

You need to enlarge your understanding of what this is about.

The bidet is dumb enough through his mouth pieces to position Russia in such a position where they cannot back down. This is not Cuba. China and fishies are aligned.
