Maybe, but now that Russian troops seem to be crossing the border, that's not as likely to happen. It's Kiev's move now, however not Kiev's Dude, lay off it. I doubted it for a long while. The new bridges near Chernobyl changed the equation, as did the First Guards being there and now the...

I hadn't seen it on Twitter yet (keep getting sucked into playing New Vegas for hours), but not surprised. Wonder if they actually are moving the 1st Guard Tank Army into the DPR/LPR, or just the advance units. Eh, I think saying Kiev would have genocided them is a bit of a stretch. Might have...

Well, this is not terribly surprising; both DPR and LPR being recognized as independent by Russia moves this from a 'civil war' to a more touchy 'war of independence' situation. Guess this means any hope of getting the Minsk Agreement to really be in force and reunite Ukraine, is effectively...

Well, this is...probably the...mundane move. It gives both sides a symbolic 'win', let's Biden claim he averted a war in Europe, and likely keeps any military movement from being moved further forward. Keep an eye to see if the pontoon bridge In Belarus's chunk of the Exclusion Zone goes away...

Ok, so this happened...and this No, no, this needs to stop before something stupid happens. Russia, doing nuke force excercises on Kamchatka is not helping cool this situation down, and sending high alt balloons at Hawaii is not helping things.

Because once war shots are fired near the Ukraine/Belarus/Russia border, things can get out of hand very badly, very quickly, a ways that cost thousands of lives to fix/contain in the first place. "War shots near Chernobyl" is a phrase that scares the shit out of me; the chance of something...

They are saying it was sabotage. This stinks of the sort of excuse/false flag Russia would like as a way to move troops into the DPR and LPR.

I think that bridge looks more like a semi-permanent, one or two lane, quick assembly trussel bridge, meant to be plonked in place in a matter of hours from easy to transport pieces, and have more permanent 'anchors' build into it, while allowing transit at the same time. Think larger version...

I am very aware of what Russia is capable of if they decide to put pride/PR/state secrets ahead of the well-being of thier citizens or those of thier supposed 'allies'. Anyone who's done any research or looked into what happened at Chernobyl knows they can do dumb shit too. However, that new...

If that really is the First Gaurds and T-90s... Belgorod is a place that sees military deployments by Russia from time to time, if I remember some stuff I read in Air and Space right. However the First Guards plus the timing, with that new bridge in Belarus...the temperature is going up in a...

Now that is interesting...it's probably only single lane, or narrow double at most, but that is still a new ground link across a river in an area that is rather contentious at the moment. And it's not connected to any existing road system of civil upgrade project, from the look of it. I really...

So it seems Germany has had some success in reaching a prelim deal with Russia, that will formalize Ukraine's non-NATO status and focus the negoatiations on what is the reality on the ground, not a conflict over a question of Ukraine wanting into NATO. Also, on the anniversary of of it's...

It would show that even the 'good guys' in Ukraine are not to be trusted. To be blunt, so fucking what? America should not be the world police, we should be going for a more Monroe Doctrine 2.0, and not making the fate of every crapsack, corruption-ridden, or 3rd world nation our problem. As...

If Zelensky tries to pull Baghdad Bob bullshit, in the event of an actual invasion, that will just prove why we should have gone hands off on Ukraine to begin with. Maybe, but everything I've seen so far make me feel this is more likely a giant 'wag the dog' psyops to help shore up Biden and...

I'll believe an attack is happening when we have a statement from Zelensky saying such; till then it's all more 'wag the dog' bullshit. Putting hard dates on it now means either there is something real going down, or that's when Biden is willing to start say he 'deterred' an invasion, to go...

This, so much this. After 4 years of the 'Russian Collusion Hoax', the 'quid pro quo' sham impeachment of Trump over his call with Ukraine due to it endangering Biden's grift with his son, and the way stirring up 'war hysteria' with regards to Ukraine and Russia neatly distracts from the...

Same way they stole the 2020 election; a compliant and willing media and political establishment that would run cover for them, control of all three branches of power (even if SCOTUS is iffy for them), and are facing seriously shit polling facing the midterms, and getting the US involved in a...

You think it would matter to the Biden Admin if it wasn't 'our' troops at war with Russia, when it would come to trying to grab and justify an attempt to grab more emergency powers based on Russia moving on Ukraine formally? After these last few years, and what the Wu Flu allowed DC to justify...
