Who is going to invade in Ukraine?

In the west all we hear about is Russia is about to do this or that, without Russia actually doing those things. The separatists in the Donbas region feel very different.

Russian-backed separatists announced the sudden surprise evacuation of their breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine on Friday, a shock turn in a conflict the West believes Moscow plans to use to justify an all-out invasion of its neighbour.

Warning sirens blared in Donetsk, the capital of one of the two rebel regions after the announcement.

Regional boss Denis Pushilin announced on social media that Russia had agreed to house those who fled, with women, children and the elderly to be evacuated first. The other self-proclaimed region, Luhansk, made a similar announcement.
Millions of civilians are believed to live in the two rebel-held regions of eastern Ukraine. Most are Russian speakers and many have already been granted Russian citizenship.

The evacuation was set to begin swiftly: Interfax news agency reported the first buses would depart bringing civilians to Russia by 8 p.m. local time, barely four hours after the siren rang out.
Interfax later reported children were already being gathered at an orphanage to be sent to Russia.

Of course our unbiased western media spins this as a "Russian false-flag operation".
Gee, I wonder if Ukraine was evacuating their children would the media report this as a Ukrainian false-flag operation?

Speaking on a visit to RAF Waddington, in Lincolnshire, the UK prime minister said: “Today, as I’m sure you’ve already picked up, a kindergarten was shelled in what we are taking to be – well, we know – was a false-flag operation designed to discredit the Ukrainians, designed to create a pretext, a spurious provocation for Russian action.

Virtually every article talks about shelling from the separatists side, but only one single sentence in this NY Times article mentions that Ukraine started shelling civilians in the break-away regions.
There was also a terrorist car bombing at a government building in the separatist region.

region would be more clarifying. Is Donbas wishing to separate from the Ukraine? Probably if
they are being bombarded by the Nazi regime. How about Crimea? Are they considered
separatists from the Ukraine? They seem to prefer the Russian connection and protection.
The western media likes to muddy the waters for the benefit of whatever the hegemony wants
us to believe on this side of the Atlantic. Issues in Ukraine, Crimea and Donbas are none of our business. It is no wonder Putin is bristling at NATO interference.

The western powers' bungling in Eastern European affairs is yet another example of sticking our
guns in places where we are not welcome and do not belong. See the mideast as another example.

Perhaps the western alliance ie: Israel, France, Germany, US, and other bit players should look at
other alliances that do not threaten sovereign nations. NATO has lost its original purpose and now
is a cover for western control of regions who do not need this type of help.

Poland sold out, Belarus is not far behind. Slovakia, Moldova, Romania are being toyed with.
These are the states surrounding Ukraine. If NATO and the western alliance wants to
embattle that region, they are making their intentions known by supplying weapons,
troops, and black operatives (CIA).

This is a fight for the control of Eastern Europe. NATO and their allies should get the hell out of there and allow a peaceful transition to a unified Europe IMO.

Are these the same intelligence that informed us of Saddam's WMD's, Kabul's ability to stand up the Taliban, and Trump's Russia connections?

Biden is absolutely sure that it’s time for Putin to make up his mind and invade Ukraine. The evidence is very clear on that.

After weeks of saying the U.S. wasn’t sure if Putin had made the final decision to launch a widespread invasion, Biden said that assessment had changed, citing “significant intelligence capability.”

“As of this moment I’m convinced he’s made the decision,” Biden said.

“We have reason to believe that.” He reiterated that it could occur in the “coming days.”

"We believe they will target Ukraine's capital Kyiv, a city of 2.8 million innocent people," he said of Russian forces.

Well that settles it doesn’t it? Strong reason to believe that Putin is gonna kill a lot of innocent people. Like Biden or anyone in government gives a flying fck about innocent people. We have only killed between 20-30 million since 1945 and over a million Muslims since 2001, not to mention the number of here who die every year from lack of health care or not making enough money to buy quality foods or the 19 million children who are food insecure or the millions of people who are living on the streets of'Murica.

Russia gave us their response to our blowing off their demands for NATO yesterday which I posted in the EBs last night if anyone cares to look for it. If Russia is going to attack any country it will be one that has lots of NATO stuff and people in it not people in Ukraine which many are Russian. But sure let’s just blame everything on Putin/Russia because our intelligence agencies never get anything wrong or lie to us.

Meanwhile the narratives continue to duel:

U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE BLINKEN SAYS WE ARE SEEING SCENARIOS OF RUSSIA CREATING FALSE PROVOCATIONS IN UKRAINE

PUTIN SAYS WE ARE SEEING RISING TENSION IN DONBASS, NEED TO IMPLEMENT MINSK PEACE AGREEMENTS

If Biden and his mouthpiece Blinken want peace in Ukraine then they can pressure Zelenko to uphold the Minsk agreement. The country that committed a brutal attack on Ukraine was America when Obama orchestrated the brutal coup and removed its democratically elected president and installed a corrupt puppet president that allowed the democrats mostly, but also republicans to do lots of corrupt things there.

Hey America, buy a fcking mirror and look into it!
