| 2021-04-17 |
| [USNInews] While the current build-up of Russian forces near Ukraine rivals the 2014 annexation of Crimea — when Russia openly backed separatists trying to sever ties to Kyiv — the United States’ top commander in Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... today described the threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine in the coming weeks as between "low and medium." "just a little sear on the outside but pink in the middle" Testifying Thursday before the House Armed Services Committee, Air Force Gen. Tod Wolters said whether the threat will continue to increase after that "depends on the disposition of the forces." |

| #11 And if the Russians have any smarts -- and boy do they -- they'll time the assault to coincide with the Floyd verdict. And put Antifa flags on the lead vehicles. |

| #7 ^ Hmm, that's creative thinking. But I think the Ukrainian play is (1) to promise to vote Democrat in perpetuity (2) apply to become the 51st state (or 53rd after DC and Puerto Rico). |

| #6 I think we should throw the Rooskis a curve ball, run the ol' razzle-dazzle on 'em. I think *we* should invade the Ukraine. The Russians will be taken by surprise, as will the Ukrainians. But Joe and Hunter probably know some guys who know some guys who can make the 'invasion' more like an exercise. Besides, we need to do something with the troops and equipment we are withdrawing from elsewhere. |
