Putin made a brilliant move. Take off some token amount of soldiers after the German prime ministers visit, demonstrating his good will. Maybe these soldiers were due for a leave anyway. The ball is firmly in the court of the USA/NATO now.
Trans humanist Karlin and pro-globalist Lenta? When was the last time these people were right about anything? I'd say that Ambassador Jack Matlock and Alastair Crooke (quoted here by Moon of Alabama) are much better informed sources, and they also happen to reflect the attitude prevailing in Russian media (which is that the talk of Russian invasion is yet another hoax, created by Biden admin for its own, mostly domestic, political purposes). https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/02/the-big-white-house-plans-behind-its-russian-invasion-scam.html#more

1. The Myth of the Cyber Offense: The Case for Restraint
Really didn't pay that much attention 2 this whole mess: from a superficial perspective it looks like Hitler's playbook on Czech or Poland using some "endemic" folks under alleged threat (or their heartfelt wish) as pretext to annex more soil? Always looks suspicious when a way larger/stronger country feels threatened by and goes against a much smaller/weaker one. OK, on the other hand, I get there is this an alleged "assurance" that Ukraine remains out of Nato? And of cz one might paint it as somewhat the Cuba missile scenario for Russia ... but then again, how long does such a assurance last: is Ukraine now supposed to never ever become a member of Nato or some other military alliance ... forever? No matter whether neighbor or not, it's quite intrusive to force another country to obey ur wishes on with whom it might ally ... but then again, it's politics and hegemonies r part of the game! A military/interference threat from Ukraine towards Moscow/Russia can't b that much bigger than from the Baltics? So time will tell, whether this is just Russia drawing a red line or this being the prelude for re-incorporating the Baltics as well .... ?
Stupid fking picture of the soldiers with masks on. Idiots all over the world

Though this article is from Breitbart, and we are getting opinions on the Ukraine/Russia situation from the likes of 'Dementia' Joe and the Orange Buffoon in America. I tend to see a global orchestration of shit stirring, considering what is going on in Canada..... https://www.breitbart.com/latin-america/2022/02/15/el-salvador-president-on-ukraine-the-real-war-is-in-canada/
