They wont attack while the games are going on in China.
That would step on China’s propaganda thunder.
I said in 2014 that the pro-Russian forces would not attack demonstrators in Kiev during the Sochi games but that didn’t stop the anti-Russian forces from staging the coup in Ukraine that overthrew the pro-Russian government.
It was punctuated by a false flag attack on the anti-Russian demonstrators that killed dozens.
A false flag attack attributed to Russia is very much possible during the Beijing Olympics.
The propaganda will be that Russia slapped China in the face.
A story already leaked out by Western intelligence through mainstream media that China allegedly asked Russia not to attack during the Olympics.
