I have been watching the recent saber-rattling with interest. Personally, I think it is a bunch of hot-air.
I did hear a little snippet on the radio this morning that confused me,
theythe hobo elite were talking about "sanctions." It wasn't specified exactly what the sanctions were going to be, but they did break them down into two groups:
Pre-invasion Sanctions &
Post-invasion Sanctions, while I understand the latter as a consequence of doing something in response to an act of aggression. I do
not follow the "logic" of Sanctions imposed for an act yet to occur.
I would think some sort of "Pre-invasion Sanctions" would likely force Russia to invade
the1 Ukraine, which would be a dumb idea if the intent was to prevent an invasion.
If Russia is forced to "pay the price" via Sanctions for something they have not yet done, why not go ahead and do it? Not much will stop Russia; the proximity of the two countries mean that logistics will not be a problem for them. They have a nice buffer (
THANKS OBAMA) against Turkey in annexed Georgia/Ossetia to the south and Belarus (their nominative ally) is a pretty good buffer to the west. Seems to me that if Russia had really wanted to invade Ukraine, they would have done so by now. I don't think it is in their interests.
Again (
THANKS OBAMA), nothing was done to stop Russia with the Crimea/Donbass adventures which are both now
de facto Russian territory, and also the only deepwater ports (that I know of) on the Ukrainian side2 of the Black Sea. US/NATO will have to either do amphibious-type landings or air-drops, since the above mentioned land routes are effectively under Russian control and would have to be dealt with before any Operation Crimea River type adventures can begin to do the actual boots-on-the-ground repatriation of Ukrainian territory.
This whole thing doesn't make much sense to me. The notion that Russia is going to invade "
next Tuesday" or "next Wednesday" is somewhat laughable to me.
I absolutely could be wrong on that, but I will not be holding my breath until
February 15-16, 2022 to see some insane Russian invasion of Ukraine go down. I honestly don't see that happening unless there are some sort of serious provocative3 movements from US/NATO, which would be dumb.
I have been politely ignoring this situation as if it were a fart in an elevator, but this "
Invasion Imminent on Next Tuesday" & "
Pre-Invasion Sanctions Being Considered" clap-trap are just a bit too noxious to
remain silent4 on this issue.
Hear, Muzaks:
Thank you in advance! It is an honor to swerve.

K_Dubb 1 Saying "
The Ukraine" is about as dumb as saying "
The America" or "
The Russia"... media dumb-fucks & other dumb-fucks reveal their dumb-fuckery by using the term, hah.
2 "
The Ukrainian side" is not in violation of above, it is akin to saying "
The United States of America" or "
The Russian Federation"... not that any illiterate dumb-fucks might be able to make that distinction.
3 Not to be confused with "
prevarication" by US/NATO, although there can be a case made that
theythe hobo elite are most assuredly engaged in...
4 In this case, I believe the "
They who smelt it, dealt it" rule applies. Nautical Shore.
