NEW: The US believes Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to invade Ukraine, and has communicated that decision to the Russian military, three Western and defense officials tell me.

The US expects the invasion to begin next week, six US and Western officials tell me, as Secretary of State Antony @SecBlinken said last night.

US officials anticipate a horrific, bloody campaign that begins with two days or aerial bombardment and electronic warfare, followed by an invasion, with the possible goal of regime change.

They're not doing it next week. It will at most be a few weeks after the Olympics. Xi will be furious if Putin ruins his little stupid games.

I always figured the Russian military could reach Kiev pretty quickly.

And I'd imagine they would wait until after the Olympics.

I’m not saying it’s happening. In fact, I have serious doubts. But if it is going to happen, he won’t wait much longer. Right now the ground is frozen, thus making movement of ground forces easy. But in a few weeks the spring thaw will come, making huge swaths of land virtually impassible, especially for follow-on logistics trains that have to keep up with the mechanized front line units.

Once the Spring thaw (Russians call it Rasputitsa) arrives, an invasion will be far more difficult. And it won’t be until late June or early July before the land will dry out enough to make an offensive feasible.

Why in the hell would this be announced in the news of it was remotely true?

CNN didn’t announce a week in advance that Iraq was going to invade Kuwait.

Some Russian general probably forgot to make his Facebook account private

Are these the same people who gave us:
- WMD in Iraq?
- Trump colluded with Russians to rig the 2016 election?
- Putin put bounties on the heads of American troops?
- Hunter Biden laptop is disinfo?

LOL Russia isn’t invading anything. This is Biden’s team praying for conflict to help drag his sorry arse numbers out the gutter.
