I was watching a youtuber who lives in Kiev. He said Ukrainians and Russians have families on both sides of border and Putin does this to flex mostly, except for 2014 obviously. I doubt Putin invades, but it's always good for Ukraine to prepare in case. Better safe than sorry. Worth noting a comparable event would be Germany's invasion of Belgium to Conquer France in WWI. Entire families and cities were erased. This is why Germany is reluctant to interfere.
 
If/when we and Allies enforce sanctions as hard as possible. USSR threatens to unleash the cyber attack hounds of hell on us.
My question is our power grid. Weve talked or there's been chatter for ever about how arciac it is. They pulled this on ukraine several years ago shutting off the lights. With the recent colonial pipeline incident. Makes you wonder how capable they are and how prepared we are internally to handle such. Obviously we can hit right back. But you want to cause mayhem , let the power go out for a few consecutive days .

As someone who has worked for the electric companies, it's going to be extremely hard to do that and almost impossible. Their systems are state of the art and locked down. I'm more worried about them launching EMP's in the US.

Our troops are safe Putin's an old KGB man his main weakness in my book is he puts himself in unnecessary high risk situations. If he attacks and no one really knows it will be after the Olympics. I personally think it's a bluff to beat his chest per se to look stronger than they are (recognition). Those 8500 troops will not see combat unless a NATO country is attacked there just there for support and logistics.
 
Exceptional article, looking at it militarily and strategic, not politically.

Russia-Ukraine Tensions: In Phone Call, Biden Warns Putin of ‘Severe’ Costs of Invading Ukraine (Published 2022)

The one-hour call came hours after the State Department ordered all but a “core team” of American diplomats to leave the embassy in Kyiv amid concerns of an imminent Russian attack. An aide to Putin dismissed such worries as “hysteria.”

WASHINGTON — In recent weeks, the Biden administration has detailed the movement of Russian special operation forces to Ukraine’s borders, exposed a Russian plan to create a video of a faked atrocity as a pretext for an invasion, outlined Moscow’s war plans, warned that an invasion would result in possibly thousands of deaths and hinted that Russian officers had doubts about President Vladimir V. Putin.

Then, on Friday, Jake Sullivan, President Biden’s national security adviser, told reporters at the White House that the United States was seeing signs of Russian escalation and that there was a “credible prospect” of immediate military action.

All told, the extraordinary series of disclosures — unfolding almost as quickly as information is collected and assessed — has amounted to one of the most aggressive releases of intelligence by the United States since the Cuban missile crisis, current and former officials say.

1st Fighter Wing deploys to United Arab Emirates

A contingent of 27th Fighter Squadron F-22 Raptors, and Airmen assigned to the 1st Fighter Wing, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, recently deployed to Al Dhafra Air Base, United Arab Emirates.

Note contingent of a squadron deployment, a squadron of F-22s is 12-16 aircraft. 6-8 are confirmed on the ground in UAE. It’s not because of Yemen rebels but a simbolic move to UAE on the pending 50-F35 sale and America’s front door at the S-400 site in Cremea, essentially air supremacy over that peninsula.

Intelligence and transport have squawked, a lot, C17s from Langley to the Baltic countries have been picked over the last week, my guess is those initial lifts are the other half of this squadron just not wheels yet.
