“Putin does not have plans to occupy Ukraine”
Then why launch an offensive attack?
Insanity, waste of life.
They only plan to occupy the part they’ve already declared to be no longer part of Ukraine. Voila, no occupation.
With Business Insider reporting I know it’s for real.
That’s parsing of words that even a democrat would be proud of.

“It’s just an exercise”

Cruise missiles are hitting Kyiv airports right now with Russian air forces allegedly attempting to gain control in preparation for taking the city. Forces are coming down from Belarus towards Kyiv, and up from Crimea and also the Russian border. Mariupol, the port city, is under amphibious attack. They have stated they plan to "denazify" the country, meaning they're going to topple the Jewish President and government.
I guess technically Putin also said that Ukraine is not a real country, so no "occupation" if there is no country to occupy.
“Then why launch an offensive attack?”
To occupy Ukraine.
Putin is dangling phrases for objectors to get tangled in, while his troops invade and take control.
Russia declared war on Ukraine. He said so himself on video. Ukrainian UN ambassador is speaking to the UN right now and calling the Russian ambassador a liar.
Asking for Russia to be kicked off the UN Security Council for violating the UN Charter.
Then why launch an offensive attack?
Obviously, cause Ukraine was getting ready to lay
siege to Moscow! /S

The writing is on the wall.
The top leaders in the Republican Party been on TV talking to other so-called conservatives and not once has anyone brought up spending or our predicament with the Debt.
It’s clear they’re waiting to be summoned by Nancy and Chuck, and the Money Spigot will be turned on and they’ll attach all kinds of pork and payoffs.

China and Taiwan next. Count on it.

Haltiwanger. I wonder what that comes from. German? I wonder how it is pronounced. -ng as in doinger or -nj as in ranger?
Keep your eyes on Taiwan. The US is effectively neutered...I mean, neutral, despite Bill Clinton’s promises to Ukraine.
Says Russia is in control of the Kiev airport. That was fast. They must have been pre-infiltrated.
