U.S. says war appears imminent after shelling on Ukraine front line
Reuters ^ | 2-17-22 | By Dmitry Antonov and Pavel Polityuk

U.S. President Joe Biden said on Thursday there was now "every indication" that Russia was planning to go into Ukraine, including signs Moscow was preparing a "false flag" operation to justify it.

Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists within Ukraine earlier exchanged fire on Thursday across a frontline that divides them, in what Western officials described as a possible pretext created by Moscow to invade.

Biden ordered Secretary of State Antony Blinken to change his travel plans at the last minute to speak at a United Nations Security Council meeting on Ukraine.

"The evidence on the ground is that Russia is moving toward an imminent invasion. This is a crucial moment," U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, told reporters.

War is the only possible diversion that might, maybe, help the Democrats.

Joe is a demented, child groping crook who does what his handlers tell him to do. Joe is not aware of much beyond his pudding time and whether his diaper is full.

It’s just the excuse they need to drive gas prices into the stratosphere.

Why in God’s name do the Ukes keep attacking eastern Ukraine areas that broke away in the coup? Just be happy with what you grabbed in the coup and move on. Seizing a capital city doesn’t mean you inherit everything the government before had.

Maybe if we pass a rumor that an organization is being built that will harass administration officials mercilessly about “NO BLOOD FOR HUNTER’S MONEY!” and things like that. Let them know that we can repay the favor in kind.

Russia Asks Joe Biden for Next Ukraine Invasion Dates So They Can Coordinate Vacation Plans for Moscow Officials

> February 16, 2022
The Russians are having a little fun at Joe Biden’s expense, now that the deadline for invasion has expired without invasion.

Yesterday, the Russians reminded the Ukraine government to set their alarm clocks so they did not miss the invasion. Today the Russian government asks the Biden administration for the invasion dates, they plan to use this year, so that Moscow can coordinate the vacation plans of key military and government officials.

They won’t believe it until/unless it happens. The unrest on the left is a bunch of losers with nothing else to do, being paid by Soros. The right has no equivalent.

What’s really astonishing to me is that there was a time when I would have immediately trusted and believed what our own professional military people were reporting. I no longer have any confidence that they are providing anything more than political propaganda. Time will tell if their analysis is valid but if it turns out to be spin, will anyone be held to account for yet another scam?

“We even see them stocking up their blood supplies.”

It’s amazing the detail they claim to know compared to the obvious things that catch them by surprise daily.

Russia won't take the bait, so they are going to try and force the hand. Like him or hate him, Putin is far too savvy to fall for such simpleton nonsense.

This sounds like an internal security issue for Ukraine, therefore, none of our damned business.
