#2 The Wagner PMC is there now. It will start soon. Likely with a Wag valse grond aanval (false ground attack), possibly several, in small Russian border villages. A few Ukrainian POWs will be left dead along with many local villagers. The Russians will claim a Ukrainian GUR MOU and SBU operation on Russian-controlled territory and be forced to respond. I'll give it thirty days, probably less.

"Prepared provocation"... yes, quite likely indeed.

#4 Frankly I’m surprised that they haven’t blamed the shipyard fire in St. Petersburg last Friday on sabotage. Losing a stealth corvette (Provorny) designed to carry hypersonic missiles after eight years worth of construction is a big hit. “Remember the Maine”
