| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin [ColonelCassad] 1. Germany officially calls on all Germans to leave Ukraine as soon as possible and closes the consulate in Dnepropetrovsk. 2. Belgium recommends that all Belgian citizens leave the territory of Ukraine. 3. Britain officially recalls military instructors from the territory of Ukraine. The Pentagon will withdraw 160 people from Ukraine. 4. The Turkish Foreign Ministry recommended that Turkish citizens not visit the eastern border regions of Ukraine without special need. 5, The Iranian Embassy in Ukraine asked compatriots to be prepared for emergencies if necessary. 6. Clown Zelensky asks to clarify US statements according to which "Russia will attack Ukraine on February 16." Puppets in Kiev, as usual, are the last to be informed. Also from Rozhin: There have been no fundamental changes 1. As a result of the negotiations between Biden and Putin, the US claims that "fundamental changes" have not occurred. 2. Israel called on the citizens of the country to immediately leave the territory of Ukraine. The IDF is ready to help with the evacuation. 3. Canada has suspended the work of its embassy in Ukraine. The flag was removed from the British Embassy in Kiev. 4. Libya urged its citizens not to travel to Ukraine. The same recommendations were issued by Slovakia. 5. France sees no signs of preparing Russian aggression against Ukraine. 6. Deputy Minister of Defense of Britain said that British citizens should not wait for the start of hostilities, but should leave Ukraine now. 7. The Dutch airline KLM has suspended flights to Ukraine until "further notice". 8. US citizens can now enter Ukraine's land border with Poland without prior notice. PS. As before, I am sure that if hostilities begin, they will begin at the initiative of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and their sponsors, and these actions will be such that Russia does not have the opportunity to refuse participation. The costs of Ukraine from all this are not significant, especially since there is still no other sacred meaning in the existence of Ukraine.

| #11 And Ukraine's government hasn't even closed its airspace. Ukraine on Sunday said its airspace was open, despite warnings by the United States that a Russian invasion could happen at any time and the suspension of flights to the country by airlines. “Information about the closure of Ukraine’s airspace is not true,” the Ukrainian ministry of infrastructure said in a statement on Sunday, “Closure of airspace is a sovereign right of Ukraine, no decision has been made.” |

| #10 The smart money sees through Magoo's bullshit. Ain't gonna be an "invasion." Investors bet Ukraine-Russia war will be averted Source: The Wall Street Journal Fri. 2-10-2022 Russian troops are continuing to build up on the Ukrainian border, but investors are piling into bets that there won’t be a war. The Russian ruble and Ukrainian hryvnia have strengthened against the dollar in recent days, appreciating 3% and 1.5% this month so far, respectively. The currencies traded at multiyear lows in the last week of January. Hedge funds have been especially active, with the most net long positions in the ruble in 23 months as of last Friday, according to data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. |

| #6 But the information that the Russians will attack on February 16 comes from the CIA, so it must be accurate, |

| #5 /\ Harris is the administration's 'Ray Epps' of global policy making. When they wish to be seen as participating in a process, but desire no actual resolution, Harris is assigned the task of gently stirring the pot. Getting her and her people out of the White House is an added benefit. Media stories of her copper cooking kettle forays or waltzing on the Champs-Élysées are a small price to pay. |

| #4 When Magoo doesn't want to deal with an issue he delegates it to Kamal-Ho: the border, obviously, but also the dead-end, made-up Democrat issue of "voting rights." This is a signal that Magoo and his handlers want as little to do with Ukraine as possible. A diplomatic settlement is coming. |

| #3 So "France sees no signs of preparing Russian aggression against Ukraine." And Ukraine's own president and the rest of its leadership repeatedly say there is no threat of invasion -- even to PervOTUS Magoo's face in a "frank" discussion. Reports are that Zelensky told Magoo to "calm down." And now the admin sends what everyone agrees is the most ludicrously ineffective administration member, a laughingstock who's so incompetent and pathological that even her own supporters have abandoned her, to go to a "conference" that doesn't even include the Russians. If war is imminent, what's the point if a western-only "conference"? What great military power holds a political gabfest with hundreds of staffers when there's a war on? This isn't wag the dog. This is wank the skank. |

| #2 Kamal "Kneepads" Harris will come home waving a piece of paper and declaring "Peace for our time". And she will do so completely without any sense of irony or history. |
