More than 100,000 Russian troops in assault vehicles painted with "invasion stripes" were headed to Ukraine’s border Wednesday, intensifying fears of war between the neighboring nations.
The advancing force includes 1,300 battle tanks, 3,700 drones, 1,300 artillery and mortar units and 380 multiple launch rocket systems, according to documents leaked to the Daily Mirror.
Tensions between the countries have been escalating following Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea territory in 2014, an attempt by Moscow to keep NATO away from its borders.

I’m at a loss in figuring out what will/might happen. I have NO, ZERO, NADDA trust in Biden doing anything either sensible or that won’t backfire on the USA and/or NATO.

Joe’s influence is about to get flushed.
What is the nature of the US "alliance" with Ukraine?
Poland won’t go down without a fight. Again.
Don’t send ANY of our kids to fight these bastards on the ground. Taiwan or Ukraine.
The three B’s.................bullets, bombs and beans........ONLY!
The best weapon against Putin is FLOOD the WORLD with fracked oil from the U.S. Drive the price down and bankrupt Putin’s piss ant country PERMANENTLY!
If Putin is smart he will return Kresy to Poland and call it a day.

I would think that a piece of Ukrainian rolling stock could end up just about anywhere down the line. Especially if the Russian armor is forward-deploying to the border area.
But it being CNN, an outright falsehood is very possible, too.
Again, missed the point of my post.
But, thanks for explaining for, literally, the fifth time.

That pic was taken at the Dnipro Train Station. Dnipro is in Ukraine.
UK and US have been training Ukrainian troops:

US has to get something for their recent 125 million dollar contribution to Ukraine.
Good point. We are in a terrible position now...Biden..Russia and their allies...a worthless NATO....
Things don’t look good.
I see it. Salients are a military magnet.
I care very much about Taiwan. I don’t give a rat’s a$$ about Ukraine.

If I were a tyrant, id go after the same arable land.
Btw, how does a Russia with a GDP of $1.3T (less than Texas) afford to go to war?
Wars and rumors of wars.....
They may be losers under Biden and his career of stealing, scams, and money under the table. They are not the BIGGEST Losers. WE ARE. Yes, America is the biggest loser. Trump got us back to a real economy, add border protection plus much more. I was wondering why the RNC has gone down hill.
Look up Ronna McDaniel. She is a niece of Romney and a BYU grad.
Send the Biden supporters kids along with the gender-confused military.
