Putin moving military helicopters to Ukrainian border as talks with U.S. stagnate

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Russia is moving military helicopters into position on the Ukrainian border in what could be a sign of impending invasion, The New York Times reported.

Per the Times, "U.S. officials say the Russian … window for an invasion is limited, dictated by temperatures that will freeze the ground — allowing for the easy movement of heavy vehicles and equipment — before a spring thaw, which could begin by March, creates a muddy quagmire."

Around 100,000 Russian troops, 1,200 tanks, and hundreds of other vehicles are currently massed on the Ukrainian border, Forbes reports.

Talks between American and Russian diplomats began in Geneva Monday in an attempt to defuse the situation, but little progress has been made. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei A. Ryabkov attempted to downplay the risks of Russian invasion even as President Vladimir Putin continues to make aggressive moves.

1. I believe he is going to invade.

2. Putin knows the US is in a weakened position.

1. After Afghanistan, there is little appetite in the US for wars in far flung places.

2. Americans don't seem to care about their own democracy, why would they advocate it for others?

3. I think Russia will attack Ukraine if it looks like it is going to join NATO.

He won't allow NATO troops along a 1,500-mile border with Belarus and Russia. He doesn't trust NATO any more than NATO trusts Russia. Even Churchill had his military draw up plans to invade Russia when WWII ended. Russia would have won so no invasion.
