#1 Sounds like the Russians have read the FBI J6 internal memo.

#2 Natasha Bertrand? Riiiiight.

This little twat is the stupidest MSNBC mouthpiece of all, which is saying something. She literally built her career on the back of a monstrous multitude of lies pumping up the great Russia Hoax. She repeated idiotic lies from the "dossier." She lied about FISA. She lied about Carter Page. She's the biggest dupe the anti-Trumpers in FB-eye and C!A could have found.

Moronic mendacious little cvnt: literally none of her "scoops" has even an ounce of credibility.

#3 Bertrand is so pathetically stupid, evenWaPo attacked her.

#4 Doesn't mean she's wrong. I'd say the odds Putin has people ready to give him an excuse are as near certainty as anything.

#5 While this is going on Biden is picking a fight with North Korea. And NK is pissed.

#6 He's got to get a war started somewhere to divert attention from the miserable job he and his people are doing here at home.

I knew one of the Apocalyptic Horsemen was absent. Pestilence, Death, Famine were all riding high; we just needed War to saddle up to make it a full cohort.

#9 Or the US is doing a false flag to justify intervening in the Ukraine to protect the elite's lucrative scam operations.

#11 Who cares if Russia does take over the Ukraine? We have enough problems to worry about than that shit.

#12 ^ Well, if Ukraine goes off the table, the rest of us will be on the hook for the Big Guy's 10%, Crack-pipe's paychecks and Vindman's meal plan. Also Viki Nuland and Evelyn Farkas' makeup allowances. Frightening possibilities.

Her pedigree includes Business Insider, which did some of the worst reporting on the civil war n southeastern Ukraine.

If there is such a thing as net stupidity, Business Insider sells/provides it daily.

#14 ^ Business Insider - the Hank Blodgett rag. Forbes - a bad joke since Malcolm Forbes left the scene.

Yeah, there's no invasion sign until we see Banks and Law Offices, Pipeline Managers' computer server banks go out in a melting thermite flash.

#16 The history of foreigners attempting to invade Russia is even worse than Afghanistan. It looked at first like Napoleon and Hitler were walking all over the place. But when the Russian winter hits it all goes to hell. It took longer than that with the Mongols but eventually they got their asses handed to them as well. If Biden is worried about his ratings now, just wait until he gets his ass kicked in Russia. If I was in the military I'd be looking to get out before the shit hits the fan.

#17 ^ Would that there was anyone at the Pentagon versed in that history and looking out for the practical ramifications as opposed to doing whatever the idiots tell them to do.

#18  The history of foreigners attempting to invade Russia is even worse than Afghanistan. It looked at first like Napoleon and Hitler were walking all over the place.

The last time Russia invaded anyone (Georgia (2008) was a punitive operation) was in the mid 1800 in the Balkans. This precipitated the Krimean War which Russia lost.

Eventually, the terms of the treaty which ended the war the Tsars managed to negotiated away.

As long as Ukraine's crazies don't fire directly on Russian troops, there won't be an invasion.

My personal opinion. Your mileage may vary.

#19 The history of Russian troops outside of Russia is generally not good with the notable exceptions of when they repelled invasions from Western countries like France and Germany. However, the history of troops from other countries inside of Russia is generally disastrous.

If Biden wants to look macho by sending weapons to the Ukrainians he might get away with it. But I'm afraid he's such a moron that he does not appreciate how closely Ukraine's history is intertwined with Russia. Ukraine is not Poland. Putting NATO troops in Ukraine would be like Putin putting his troops in Mexico.

Then you have people like Jen Psaki and John Kirby saying Putin is preparing a false flag operation as a pretext to invade Ukraine. Maybe. But, especially after the Afghanistan withdrawal, these people do not inspire confidence.

Ah, I'll take that bet and raise you 32 points to cover the spread.
