Putin literally went on tv two days ago and threatened to nuke NATO and y’all still pretending he’s not the aggressor here?

I just emailed an acquitance I know in Moscow. He sent me a clip of the Russian news saying that "all sides agree to deescalate over Ukraine." Of course the Russian media lies a lot.

BBC reporting that UK doesn't think Russia invasion is nearly as "imminent" as the US currently believes.

All pieces are in place for Russia, but UK still sees it as negotiation tactics rather than confirmation of an invasion within the next 48-72 hours.

Putin always keeps his options open, so even if he did tell his military to gear up it’s not a “this is definitely happening” situation.

Putin isn’t dumb, he has to know that even if we wanted to we can’t just roll over and accept his demands under threat of invading Ukraine. There has to be another pathway.

He responded by sending me a video through SnapChat. I will see if I can pull it up and see what channel it was and google them on my next poop break.

What The West Gets Wrong About Putin

quote:

Solutions often require an element of fear of disproportionate responses if no deal is struck. The idea of forcing adversaries to face horrific alternatives seemed to excite him. In essence, he was describing to me the current Ukraine impasse between the US and Russia. Putin knows Russia cannot afford a prolonged ground war with Ukraine. He also can see Biden is facing crucial midterm elections with a domestic congressional impasse, and cannot afford a major foreign crisis distraction. The two sides have no choice but to strike a deal.

I just watched that entire video. It was interesting and made some good points but didn’t agree with all those characterizations.

Hopefully y’all are right and Putin doesn’t intend to invade.

Maybe get to Kiev quickly but the actual siege will be brutal. The Russian military has come a long way since the 90s but the Battles of Grozny will give you an idea of how it will go.

There’s no way any of that is happening.
