    Default Ukraine DM: Low Probability of Major Escalation With Russia

    US continues to project imminent invasion

    by Jason Ditz/Posted on February 18, 2022/News/Ukraine

    Ukraine DM Oleksii Reznikov told parliament on Friday that there is a low probability of any major escalation with Russia. He added that Ukraine intelligence sees every move made in the area.

    Tensions at the Russia-Ukraine border have been ongoing, with several Western nations repeatedly predicting a huge war. Ukraine has chided those nations for causing a panic.

    Predictions of such a conflict go back years, and while previous Ukraine officials had similar pessimism about it, more recently officials see a lot more chance for diplomacy.

    President Biden again predicted a Russian invasion Friday, noting a Russian offer to talk later this month and suggesting there’d be no point if invasion happens first. Ukraine’s own assessment is clearly far afield of America’s.

    Shove that down your throat you senile, warmongering, neocon, old fart Biden.

    Once again - I despise both parties.

    You see that you fucking ignorant Bidenbots?
    The guy that would know better than anyone - outside of Russia - says Biden is basically full of it with his weekly 'Russia will attack' bullshit.
    https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/02/18...s-war-donbass/

    Fucking Biden and his fucking war mongering - obviously just to distract the ignorant masses from the gigantic inflation and plummeting GDP growth.
    Every, fucking week this semi-senile, piece of excrement announces that Russia is going to attack.
    Offering NOTHING substantial EVER to back up his fucking claims.
    And every week he is shown to be full of it.

    And every week you imbecile's, blindly believe him...even when he posts NO PROOF of his claims.
    You people are little more than pathetic sheep.


    Trump was and is a manchild.
    But I do not believe for one second that he would EVER have started this bullshit.

    Why is Biden doing this?
    Why is he obviously making up/exaggerating excrement to distract people?
    Why is he playing this INCREDIBLY, dangerous game?

    Several reasons:

    1)

    https://www.atlantafed.org/cqer/research/gdpnow

    The GDP growth SUCKS.

    2)

    https://tradingeconomics.com/united-.../inflation-cpi

    Inflation is out of control and running at a 40 year high.
    And no one with a properly working brain is buying that 'supply issue' excuse as anything but a peripheral reason.

    3) https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/.DJI
    The DOW is down 6.22% YTD.
    And has not gained ANYTHING in the last 10 months.

    4) And his approval is at 40% (according to Gallup).
    And of ALL the POTUS's since Kennedy?
    Only Trump had a lower Job Approval rating for their first year.
    https://news.gallup.com/poll/389033/...polarized.aspx

    Biden is fucking up, the economy is falling apart and he is DESPERATE for a distraction.
    So this semi-senile, useless loser is (apparently) risking a major war just to stop people looking at the lousy job he is doing.
    That is INCREDIBLY irresponsible and selfish.

    Did the Ukraine spokesman explain why the Kremlin is putting out propaganda warning of an imminent Ukrainian attack on the Donbas and instructing the inhabitants to flee? The FSB(?) even took the trouble of blowing up some old jeeps and blaming it on Kiev.

    THAT'S what is bothering me. What is Putin up to?

    Semi-hysterical nonsense. I say ' semi ' because I only read half of it.


    Haw, haw..............................haw.

    The Kremlin did not order an evacuation. I'd generally rate that as a lie- but you're known for being prone to such gaffs.

    That's true - the local 'leaders' in the Donbas ordered it. I bet they thought it up all by themselves, eh?

    The question remains, what is Putin up to?


    Added:

    Metadata from the messaging app Telegram indicates that pro-Russian separatist leaders created videos ordering "emergency" evacuations from eastern Ukraine two days ago [Wednesday] but posted them on Friday, Bellingcat first reported and Axios can confirm.
    https://www.axios.com/telegram-ukrai...260102a4a.html

    Looks like they were waiting for the word ‘go’ from someone. Now who could that be? You know about these things, moonie - give us a clue.

    What I would do would be to end the military exercises, as stated , not invade Ukraine, as stated- and thereby make Biden and his NATO sycophants appear to be the aggressive bunglers that that are.
    Then I'd take control of Ukraine through internal politics- so ending any future prospect of a NATO Ukraine which would certainly result in thermo-fucking-nuclear war.

    Still- what else is fucking up the world while NATO earns billions for its corporate arms dealers ?

    most likely it wasnt Russian GRU. more probably if it was even a false flag it was by Russian separatists themselves to draw Russian troops across the border
    which would push back Ukrainian forces fighting the separatists

    Ukrainian forces are become much better armed since we sent them 1/2 the Pentagons weapons
    LDNR has been escalating for 2 weeks now - lots more shelling.
    Why would Russia want them to evacuate? If Russia crossed into Ukraine the sepratists woul have plenty of firepower and Russia would want them there

    The plan that we’re seeing is for something that could be really the biggest war in Europe since 1945 in just in terms of sheer scale,” Johnson told the BBC in an interview broadcast on Sunday.

    The PM said intelligence reports suggest that Moscow plans to invade Ukraine from several directions,
    “encircling Kiev.”

    “All the signs are that the plan has already in some senses begun,” Johnson said, adding that “people need to understand the sheer cost in human life that could entail.”

    Bozo is desperately fighting to save his own domestic ass. Like all such assholes- a good war offers the opportunity.
