Newsweek: Exclusive: US Warns Ukraine of Full-Scale Russian Invasion Within 48 Hours
U.S. intelligence officials have revealed to Newsweek that President Joe Biden's administration has informed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of intelligence assessing that Russia is preparing to conduct a full-scale invasion of the neighboring country within the next 48 hours.
"The President of Ukraine has been warned Russia will highly likely begin an invasion within 48 hours based on U.S. intelligence," the U.S. official with direct knowledge told Newsweek.
"Additionally," the U.S. official added, "reporting from aircraft observers indicates Russia violated Ukrainian airspace earlier today, flying possible reconnaissance aircraft for a short period over Ukraine."
A source close to Zelenskyy's government also confirmed to Newsweek that such a warning was received.

By February 13, 2021, the date the Senate voted to acquit Donald Trump of inciting an attack on Congress, Republicans had put loyalty to Donald Trump over defense of the country and the Capitol in which they worked.
Sure, Putin didn’t get Trump to carve up Ukraine as President. But he got so much more from Trump’s presidency.
Putin did get Trump to do real damage to NATO. He got Trump to largely abandon Syria. Trump made a humiliating deal with the Taliban that would result in the US withdrawing its military from Russia’s back door. After years of Russia having to work hard to highlight American hypocrisy on human rights, Trump did things like pardon war criminals, forever tainting America’s claim to be exceptional.
And through it all, Trump created his own authoritarian-supporting militias, heavily armed troops inspired by resentment who have the ability to make the United States ungovernable. Trumpist Republicans are making localized efforts to dismantle democracy. Trump’s Supreme Court nominees have abandoned legal precedent.
Which brings us to this moment.
I think Putin faced a moment of diminishing returns. Republicans are finally beginning to wake up from their Trump cult. If COVID subsides and the US economy takes off, Democrats might surprise at midterms. I wouldn’t be surprised, either, if Russia expected some details of what it has done over the last decade — involving Julian Assange, involving 2016 (with the prosecution of Vladislav Klyushin), possibly even involving Trump — to become public in the near future. And so Putin chose this moment to launch a war to try to solidify the efforts he has made over the last decade.

11:14 is a Russian troll a leftist short bus
11:14 is a Russian troll OR a leftist short bus
How many fucking times are they going to invade? Bs
At what point will ukraine realise the attack is inevitable and be justified in pre-emptive self defence.
Just like a street fight better to get in your shot first, the same result is inevitable when your assailant is 50lb heavier and on gear but hurt him and make him more cautious.
Those javelins, uk ATGW and MLRS will do a lot more damage to blunt an attack used pre-emptively on the closest AFV parking lot in range .
Fazman just quirt posting. You are the village idiot.
If you are not the village idiot, it could only mean one thing. That you are Russian.
Everyone who disagrees with me is russian!! *shits his depends*
Ukraine is already condemn then what next?
how Donald Trump actually acted toward Putin while he was in office. Who can forget Trump’s kowtow to Putin at Helsinki in 2018? The U.S. president rejected the findings of the United States’ own intelligence community about the hacking of the 2016 election and said: “President Putin says it’s not Russia. I don’t see any reason why it would be.” Or who can forget Trump’s use of U.S. military aid to extort the government of Ukraine into helping him politically? Or all of Trump’s anti-NATO animus? Trump mused about pulling out of the alliance, questioned its Article 5 security guarantees and ordered a withdrawal of 12,000 troops from Germany.
It is true that the Trump administration sometimes pursued tough-on-Russia policies independent of the president, but this was largely the work of officials who were purged long before the end of Trump’s term. By the end of his presidency, Trump was surrounded by people such as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who has recently called Putin “a very talented statesman,” “very shrewd,” “very capable,” and said, “I have enormous respect for him.”
At least Pompeo is willing to admit that Putin is the “aggressor” and the Ukrainians are his “victims.” No such censure was evident in Trump’s comments Tuesday to right-wing podcaster Buck Sexton. Putin’s aggression against Ukraine is an act of “genius,” according to Trump. He explained:
“Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. ‘I said, ‘How smart is that?’ And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. ... We could use that on our southern border. That’s the strongest peace force I’ve ever seen. There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re gonna keep peace all right. No, but think of it. Here’s a guy who’s very savvy.”
Trump went on to rhapsodize about his relationship with Putin — “He liked me. I liked him.” — and to praise him as someone with a lot of “charm and a lot of pride” who “loves his country.”
With those few words, Trump has just made a fool of every right-winger who has tried to pretend that he would have been tougher on Putin than Biden is currently being.
Russian hackl9ong . No $80,000 s facebook ads. Get it right;
$40k of the $80k was after the election.
Hillary had a 1 billion war chest for the campaign and 40k decided her fate?

Fazman, who tried to sell us medical tyranny in Australia and tried to sell us the dictatorship under Trudeau in Canada is now again spreading his vile shit.
Thanks, fazman, but no thanks. Keep shilling for tyrants, and eventually we will get to you.
Aaaah, the socialists and ex-professors are croaking very loud now, we have another situation with a ton of conditionals, can't imagine why!
Perhaps the Telephone Operator could use his vast Intel experience!
