White House Believes Russian Invasion Of Ukraine Could Be Imminent. Warns Russia May Attack Ukraine From Belarus

Moscow has for weeks been massing tens of thousands of troops, tanks and artillery pieces along its eastern flank, sparking fears of an invasion, though the Kremlin has insisted it is merely a defence force (pictured, Russian forces currently massed in border regions)  

Daily Mail: White House believes Russian invasion of Ukraine could be imminent: Jen Psaki warns there is an 'extremely dangerous situation' at the border ahead of Blinken's trip to meet President Volodymyr Zelensky 

* White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Tuesday said Russia could launch attack on Ukraine 'at any point' 

* Talks last week made little headway as Moscow demanded that NATO bar Ukraine from joining the alliance 

* Since then, US officials have warned that Russia is preparing a 'false flag' strike to justify an invasion 

* On Tuesday, Russian troops began arriving in Belarus for exercises, raising tensions even further 

* And reports suggested it was pulling staff and their families out of the embassy in Kiev 

* Moscow has repeatedly denied that its military buildup is part of preparations for an invasion 

* Secretary of State Blinken is due to meet the Ukrainian president on Wednesday in a fresh diplomatic push 

The White House on Tuesday said it believed a Russian invasion of Ukraine could come at any time, as Press Secretary Jen Psaki warned of an 'extremely dangerous situation' at the border. 

Her words came as Moscow bolstered the number of troops in the region, sending an unknown number of personnel to Belarus for major war games. 

Talks between the West and Russia failed to ease tensions last week.

The wargames are an act of war in and of themselves. Now, I get the measure of the person above.

Consider war games can by part of hybrid warfare depending on their location , duration, size, frequency, trend, etc (or combination thereof).

With sabre rattling you could fiscally wear down an opponent. You could lull them. You could demoralize them.

Consider De Ashi Harai (Forward Foot Sweep) in judo. You could know you opponent is going to try it. You can know that your opponent is gong to do nothing but that foot sweep for practice. So you avoid (by shifting your position, weight, etc) the 1st attempted foot sweep, the 2nd, the 3rd, ... the nth foot sweep, but on the n+1 foot sweep down you go.

Ivan can tell all subordinate units that they are training and nothing more. They train well and have a high level readiness. Meanwhile the high command have no intention of invading on this date, by this date or on the nth training exercise. They watch the exercises to learn lessons about their troops or to correct them. also they watch their potential opponents to see what they do. If they are slow or badly position their intent changes in an instant.

I do not believe that Bill Clinton , George Bush or Obama are bent on dominating Russia. NATO is not a threat to them There is no intent there. But Russia is afraid intent can change in an instant. Well intent on these exercises could also change in an instant.

I say what I say about Democrats, because until recently they seem more concerned with the near enemy (their political opponents) than any other (far) enemy. BILL CLINTON is nothing but a hound dog. He is not bent on conquering Russia

White House flight logs show Bill Clinton visited the island no fewer than 17 times between 1993-1995. Flight logs for Epstein’s aircraft show Bill Clinton flew on the dead pedophile’s planes 26 times between 2002-2003.

I am changing my mind about Obama. But the first several months they hid Obama from doing many press conferences. He was no threat to Russia. But I think all of the power went to his head and he want to do more than make a 100 million and crush the political opposition. He stupid, but he is similar to the other people going to the WEC. It is too long to get into here, but the people at the WEC have a plan. It is not a good plan but they have a plan. They talk of The Great Reset, they use COVID as an excuse and all the rest. IF Russia gets in the way, I could see those morons wanting to conquer it.
