Agree. He's been pulling his punches. Not seeing the massive offensive expected once the ground froze.

At some point, there will come a time when [Putin] has to act I think that's the plan. They've been trying to provoke Putin into dropping a big one. Once that happens, it will justify almost any action our warmongers want to take.

Billions in military aid. Abrams tanks to Ukraine. Now evidence that the US destroyed the Nordstream pipeline. At some point, there will come a time when he has to act That’s my concern - that the info about Nordsteam may have been released as part of a plan to make him an offer he can’t refuse. Just like the escalation of the war against Lugansk and Donbass - right at the moment when Russia had surrounded Ukr from 3 sides. And if he escalates, the media will explode with stories about Russians being congenital imperialists. After which things will turn serious. Looks like our elites are trying to figure out which way to go from here. Going in and risking a conventional war in their front yard may be not be fun either. And, it would be terribly dangerous. And all of this is just to protect Ukraine? I can’t seriously believe that. Ukraine is just a proxy. Their corrupt idiot leaders took the bait - and their people are in trouble. ———————— (It’s per Moderator request, I’m keeping Ukraine posts here to a minimum. Started posting some of it on my old “bookshelf” thread I had for the past 22 years. Those interested can come and see). Message 34184785
