Ukraine's Deputy PM thinks Putin is bluffing, essentially. This might all be a show simply to warn Ukraine against joining NATO. I hope so.
I fear the Biden administration is plotting something. The fact that Obama's Nazi coup in Ukraine handed Crimea to Russia still rankles in the Pentagon. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail.
Ukraine is massing on the Russian border. I think after Iraq, Afghanistan (left lots of equip with failed state), the "civil uprisings" in Libya and Syria that Russia is determined not to see NATO bringing "freedom" to Ukraine as well.
Does not look good and don't forget the Chinese. If they plan to take Taiwan, then a major distraction in Ukraine would be the time to do it. Israel will probably also use the distraction to advantage militarily.
It's all there. Not looking good.
