Russian marines practice beach landings
Téa Kvetenadze – Forbes Nov 21, 2021
The U.S. has shared intelligence including maps with allies in Europe, sources told Bloomberg Sunday — intelligence that “shows a buildup of Russian troops and artillery to prepare for a rapid, large-scale push into Ukraine from multiple locations” in the event of an invasion, more than seven years after Russia annexed the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea in a move widely condemned by the West.
Key Facts
Thousands of Russian troops have reportedly amassed near the border with Ukraine in recent days near areas controlled by Russian-backed separatists.
American intelligence officials have shared information with allies warning of a possible Russian incursion, according to reports, with the New York Times saying Friday “the buildup is being taken seriously and the United States is not assuming it is a bluff.”
Bloomberg reported that Moscow has “called up tens of thousands of reservists on a scale unprecedented in post-Soviet times” who would likely be used “to secure territory in a later phase,” citing two unnamed sources.
European allies have been engaging in an “increasingly frantic diplomatic effort” with President Vladimir Putin to deter such an invasion after the U.S. assessment “that Putin could be weighing an invasion early next year,” Bloomberg said.
The head of Ukraine’s defense intelligence agency told Military Times Saturday Russia is planning an attack around the end of January or early February that would likely involve “airstrikes, artillery and armor attacks” followed by airborne and amphibious assaults and a smaller land incursion through neighboring Belarus.
Big Number
100,000. That’s approximately how many Russian troops are believed to have gathered on the Ukrainian border.
Crucial Quote
“We see an unusual concentration of troops, and we know that Russia has been willing to use these types of military capabilities before to conduct aggressive actions against Ukraine,” NATO secretary general Jens Stoltenberg said of the recent troop buildup. Moscow for its part has dismissed such concerns as “alarmist.”
Key Background
Tensions have been high ever since Russia illegally annexed the peninsula of Crimea in 2014, something the United States and its allies have been vocally critical of ever since. In February President Joe Biden reiterated that the U.S. “does not and will never recognize Russia’s purported annexation of the peninsula” and repeated his support for Ukraine in the face of Russia’s “aggressive acts.” Russia expert Timothy Ash told CNBC that Putin “wants Ukraine, as he never accepted its loss in ’91 with the collapse of the USSR, and sees Ukraine as central to his vision of Greater Russia.” Both nations were part of the Soviet Union before its collapse in 1991; Crimea became part of Ukraine in 1954 and has been a flashpoint ever since.

Since when did the U,S. have any intelligence of any kind? I’m yet to see any on Planet America.

Here is the real deal…….Russia did not illegally annex Crimea. A little background. The Satanic and Talmudic EVIL Victoria Nuland, wife of the Satanist Kagan, provided $5 Billion of borrowed US dollars
to the UkroNazis for the Maidan revolt in 2014, which overthrew a democratically elected government. Nuland, a Satanic Jew, wanted to reclaim the ancestral homelands of the Ashkenazi Khazars. These Ashkenazi Khazars come from the lands between the Black and Caspian Seas. Despite having a very small percentage of the Ukrainian population, every Ukraine leader since 2014 has been a Satanic Jew, from Yats to Poroshenko to the current clown. The UkroNazis shelling of civilian housing areas in the two breakaway areas of eastern Ukraine has killed a very large number of civilians. I think it is time for Vlad to wreck the Ukraine military. NATO will not die for Ukraine.
The reason for this buildup is that NATO is planning on making Ukraine a member, & the fact that the US and UK have been arming the Ukraine military. There must be a very high number of foreign mercenaries in Ukraine because many in the Ukraine military simply won’t fight the Russians.
This talk of a January 2022 invasion, I’m not convinced. January is pretty miserable in Ukraine. Maybe the Russians believe they can turn this to their advantage. I am not sure.
I don’t think, there is something like a “war” as we know it.. At some point, “the families” are all agreeing to play a war game again, put some money in the pot, and then let their populations start killing eachother according a fixed plan. And don’t forget the medeals afterwards.. Look, they are all injecting their people, except in central Africa. We don’t have many friends…
“Tensions have been high ever since Russia illegally annexed the peninsula of Crimea in 2014, something the United States and its allies have been vocally critical of ever since.”
Reading that sentence we know this is just more Western propaganda swill. Russia is just as much a puppet nation as the US. After 1992, it never really broke away from the domination of the Western “capitalist” money power which spawned and nourished communism in that nation and in the rest of the world. Putin’s Russia denuded the Western-funded carpet baggers who were gobbling up resources after communist façade was dismantled, and do doubt with the nationalization of key resource industries under Putin there has been a rift with the money power out of London and NYC.
Putin’s Russia has facilitated and cooperated with the globalist powers essentially funded and directed by the major banking dynasties of the world in almost every step of the Covid psyop, right from the beginning. However, the rift can still be seen not only with the battle over natural gas markets in Europe, but in the fact that Russia was independent enough not to allow the mRNA vaccines of the West to go near its own people, and it is now very doubtful that as a result of the use of the equally ineffective Sputnik vaccine, the Russian people are dying at the same rate as people in the West with copies of the Covid spike proteins being manufactured in their bodies from the Western bioweapon vaccines and also being used to force Western sheeple into NWO globalist totalitarian compliance. The Russians on the other hand in being used to “top-down” totalitarian controls, where a “conservative” in Russia is actually a Stalinist, were likely allowed the liberty of using their own vaccines or placebos, while the Western money power worked over the last vestiges of freedom and individual integrity in their lives.
As with China, Russia has been playing a Covid lite game to appease the money powers of the West behind the Covid scam. That being the case you have to really wonder if Russia is now really helping the same Western powers in renewing the old cold-war pretext of fear and peril of a “third-world war” for the “necessity” of all of the puppet governments running our nations in order to more smoothly usher in their openly planned totalitarian NWO one-world government, with a one-world currency centralized and controlled by the same money power running things right now, and also dividing up the world into their pre-arranged economic zones and spheres of influence.
We have to remember that the USSR was financially supported by the same Western powers from the time of its founding. The same powers ensured its victory over Germany in WWII despite the window dressing. Western generals such as Paton who wanted to carry on and knock it out were killed or silenced. The cold war was necessary for the MIC and continued US-led dominance capturing one third-world nation after another mainly through debt rigging in the global Monopoly game. Eastern Europe was ceded to the USSR after WWII for a period of ideological and religious cleansing with a similar but more thorough process undertaken through Mao in China. Now the same false-flag, totalitarian bastards are about to enslave the remnants of our Western civilization under their fake UN and WEF pretexts as they usher in their NWO.
@Felix the cat, you beat me to it, bravo!!!
Indeed, one can only share something one already processes.
Possesses, sorry
The first casualty of war is the truth. We already have the first casualty – Crimea was NOT annexed illegally. A plebiscite was held in 2014 in which at least 90% of Crimea’s people voted to rejoin Russia. But of course the MSM, like they have done with every war of the 20th century and into the 21st, will lie their ass off. But we at least have the internet(for now), to call their bluff.
This report illustrates just how unthinking and unquestioning http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk has become.
Now. What is in dire need, is that Pedowood make a movie about Russian invasion of Ukraine & their defeat by Ukrainian Army & the closing scene Ukrainian Army parading on the Red Square in Moscow & on the Podium Khordokovsky President of Russia & Ukrainian President Zelensky beside him plus Vicky supplying cookies to those brave Ukrainian soldiers ??
That the movie I would love to see ??
THE RUSSIAN BAER NEVER STARTS !

former reader: please share your thoughts.
Sooner or later there will be a miscakculation in all this sabre-rattling, then …bang.
UKRAINE IS A NEOCON JEW RUN OPERATION – RUSSIA LIKEWISE – WHO COULD POSSIBLY CARE THE OUTCOME?, AND THIS POSTURING HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS.
The Russians are seeing the obvious – that the US and its British puppet are going to use Ukraine to start a major European war. Just like 1939 when the British set the Poles up.
Poland, the Ukraine and the Baltic states will be wiped off the map, but the US will get the war that it wants.
