There will be an invasion, says Biden
President Biden has just come out and said it as a fact, there will be a Russian invasion of Ukraine in a few days. Probably Sunday when the Winter Olympics come to an end. Everything Putin has been claiming in recent days about troop and tank withdrawals means nothing because at the same time he has been sending more troops very close to the border of Ukraine with all the equipment they need to fight a war, including blood supplies for wounded troops. According to US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin there are now more than 150,000 Russian troops on the borders in western Russia and Belarus. As Austin very astutely put it, he was a soldier most of his working life and what the Russians are preparing to do right now has nothing to do with going home to barracks. Basically the Russian government lies about everything. When you are a KGB intelligence officer you are taught to lie and deceive and that's what Putin has always done. It comes to him very easily. "I have no intention of invading Ukraine" actually means "I have every intention of invading Ukraine". And that I am afraid is what we are going to see in the next three or four days. Of coure Putin will provide some justification for it, accusing the Ukrainians of massacring poor Russian people in eastern Ukraine. But that will be just another lie on the long list of lies. How can you have a dialogue with a man who lies more than he tells the truth. In fact does he ever tell the truth? Probably not. So it's doom time approaching.
