The Brink of War?

No. "U.S. officials" think what "Russia already out of weapons" and NYT published their stupid ideas. No surprise is here: Alzheimer wins.

Meanwhile Reuters: China slams US claims that Russia asked it for military aid as 'disinformation'

You mean the CIA might be playing games with us, or something?

Anyway, looks like the battle of Kiev is coming up shortly -- stay tuned.

A mansion in Biarritz said to be owned by one of Putin’s daughters was raided by someone holding a Ukrainian flag reports Newsweek . The apartment in Monaco of one of his mistresses was identified from posts she made onInstagram apparently. Does anything exceed the stupidity of people who post on social media?

I can recall taking pleasure post Gorbachev in the revelation that almost everything the CIA had told us about Russia’s military capabilities was clearly wrong . It now seems likely that everything the Russian military told Putin about their capabilities is also wrong as is becoming apparent daily - they’re just not up to the job

I guess the US actually believed Russia's BS at the beginning of the cold war. It wasn't until the KGB double agent Oleg Gordievsky did they learn the truth that Russia were nowhere near as strong as they claimed to be. That's why the Cuban missile crisis ended by the US standing its ground and telling Russia to fuck off back home, which they promptly did as they didn't have a choice after the US called their bluff.

There's actually an excellent documentary on Curiosity Stream about him.

I'm kind of hoping that's what happened between Putin and Xe Jing Ping. They had this whole plan of world domination in their minds, and China actually believed the Russian military was capable. The the invasion of Ukraine came and China was like, "WTF Russia?!?! You're soldiers are completely fucken useless.".

I have been staying out of this and I intend to continue staying out of it, but I do have one question that has been bugging me. Why now? If Putin wanted to do this, why didn't he do it during Trump's presidency. I think we all know Trump liked and admired Putin. It would not have surprised me if Trump supported Putin in this. If not, if there were sanctions at all they probably would have been insignificant - more like a gentle slap on the wrist.

The way I see it, if Putin wanted to do this, he had every reason to do it while Trump was president. Why did he wait for now?
