Reading between the lines: Western Intelligence agencies are gearing up for a war with Russia.

Ukraine threatens to invade DPR and LPR. Russia gathers forces to scare Ukraine and to prevent that invasion. For me it's pretty simple. War is unlikely, because Ukraine won't risk it. Russia does not want to invade Ukraine either, because it's just don't make sense, at least right now, when they want to finish Nord Stream 2.

Wall Street mafias want more. More. Always more. More blood. More slaves. More death.

> Ukraine threatens to invade DPR and LPR

That's what Russian propaganda says, but it has no basis in reality.

Western intelligence agencies must have really upped their HUMINT game if they can park some 100,000 Russian regulars and heavy armor on the border.

Canadian here on the ground in Ukraine, on the Eastern side (Kharkiv). The situation is pretty serious as everyone’s talking about war, and I personally am stocking up on non-perishable food items. The prevailing opinion seems to be that Russia is just flexing muscles, but I personally believe a full scale invasion is in the works. The idea that Putin is trying to extract concessions doesn’t make sense to me, because there aren’t many concessions to extract, especially from that young idealistic Zelensky.

But what do I know, read Henry Kissinger: https://www.henryakissinger.com/articles/how-the-ukraine-cri...

Selective reporting and editorial bias, is what I'm referring to.
