That’s the cue that I’ve been waiting to see. When NATO assets start leaving I think that’s a good indicator that it’s on. There’s still two Turkish Air Force Cargo planes on the ground in Kyiv.

I just want to point out that Twitter accounts from people on the ground were the best sources during the Kabul shitshow, particularly after the bulk of the international media pulled out.

There is nothing commercial over Ukraine right now and most traffic out of Moscow appears to be slowing down. Look at the traffic going south of the black sea.

I think, and this a wild arse guess from some guy on the internet, that Putin will try to take Kyiv and absorb everything East of the Dniper River.

Literally the only airplane in the skies over Ukraine right now, that we’re allowed to see of course, is a USAF Global Hawk.

If Putin crosses out of rebel held territory into Ukraine proper, he's not stopping until he's got the whole country. He already controls Crimea and has puppets ruling the bordering nations of Belarus and Moldova. He will massacre what Ukrainian forces chose to resist until the government in Kiev collapses. Then, he will install a puppet regime or fully annex The Ukraine entirely.

If the US military wishes to impose its will on Russia they could anytime they want to. The weapons the world knows that we have, are 20-30yrs old already.
