honestly since they haven't popped off by now (as the US was obviously hoping for) it's gonna be a false flag or NATO literally being impatient and "preemptively" invading donbas

So is there any possibility of Biden using a faked up war threat by US intelligence to score publicity points here by 'fixing' the issue with Russia with a meeting?

Why does nothing happen? Putin has myriad of reasons to want Ukraine - wheat production, popular support in Eastern Ukraine, more sea of azov and black sea access, embarrasses western countries, prevents more NATO members/pushed back in American aggression.

Russua also holds all the leverage with their commodity exports - what happens if the US sanctions them? Well, oil prices go way up - they went up 4% today on these headlines! This means higher gasoline prices in USA, higher natural has prices in Europe, higher food costs everywhere. Politicians inevitably lose on that poo poo. There is obviously no appetite for US to get in a war either.

Also why would Ukraine not immediately fold or surrender territory? To me, the state department propaganda is trying to take "surprise" element away and hope it spooks them out of doing anything but they are toothless and have no real capability to do anything but get on TV and talk.

I keep coming back to - this seems like a layup for Putin - Why would he not do it?

Because it's dumb as gently caress? The obvious read of the Russian buildup is still as a threat against Kiev to not try to change the results of the 2014 war with their shiny new American and Turkish toys. What would taking half of Ukraine, but turning the other half into a permanently hostile US client state do for them? They can barely run their own country. I'm sure they are super eager to integrate a poor as gently caress region that's full of ethnic tensions.

This Western media campaign has had very material and negative consequences for the Ukrainian economy. The Ukrainian currency has started to be devalued, investors have started to leave — particularly in the Ukrainian real estate market — and the government has been quite scared that even without an actual invasion, the Ukrainian economy may get into quite serious trouble from this.

lol good job guys, scaremongering so hard your allies go broke.

Yes.

quote:

По словам собеседника агентства, на фоне официально объявленной некоторыми западными странами эвакуации это "наводит на мысль о том, что Москва решила пойти тем же путем".

"Кстати, на возможность такого сценария намекал Сергей Лавров в ходе пресс-конференции по итогам переговоров с мининдел Великобритании Элизабет Трасс", — напомнил он.

В посольстве в Киеве, в свою очередь, заявили, что работают в штатном режиме и решения о частичной эвакуации не было, хотя его прорабатывает МИД.

more confirmation on Russia evacuating it’s embassy and all diplomatic staff
They were all citing the RIA news piece above as the source. Which apparently cites some random people saying they are having trouble getting an appointment with the embassy.

for the avoidance of any doubt Ian Dunt is a terrible loving English centre-right liberal who mostly just cries about Brexit now although he spent several years before the referendum campaigning in favour of brexit and writing books about how good it would be, until he realised the Remainer grift was more profitable, and when he's not weeping about how great the EU is he's yelling about how evil socialism is

The fact that he didn't get any scrap of that intel on an invasion on his country means that either the intel is false or US is keeping it from the most interested party's hands for.... reasons?

Russia wont invade ukraine without any escalation from nato/ukraine and if ukraine doesnt think they are going to invade it means that they aren't willing to escalate.

So that only leads one party that could escalate, and they arent sharing it because ukraine doesnt want to escalate.
