As easy as 1, 2, 3.....
2+2+2+2+0+2+2 = 12
1+2 = 3
  1. Place military forces on the border
  2. Declare the nation part of yours
  3. Invade

From The Daily Mail:
==================
Putin's "peacekeepers" in tanks roll into Ukraine separatist regions: Biden kicks off sanctions and UK will follow after issuing stark warning "the invasion has begun"
  • Russian tanks have rolled into Donetsk and Luhansk after Putin ordered "peacekeepers" into the regions
  • Putin last night officially recognized the two areas of Ukraine as independent regions in a press conference
  • Biden late last night imposed sanctions against the two breakaway regions of Eastern Ukraine amid the move
  • But stopped short of issuing full-blown sanctions against Russia as Western allies deliberate their response  
  • British authorities meanwhile have announced they will reveal the scale of their sanctions later today 
  • UK Health Secretary Sajid Javid this morning declared on national television that 'the invasion has begun' 
  • Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed a "barrage of sanctions" will be revealed this afternoon
  • EU leaders are also set to meet this afternoon to discuss their approach to the crisis and determine sanctions​

A wonderful sentiment but it also means no more humans. To exist we must interact, and sooner or later, almost always sooner, interaction rules are needed. Soon to follow cometh government.

I trust you might also enjoy the most recent one: Cum emptio et venditio legibus reguntur, prima quae vendita sunt legislatores. (When buying & selling are governed by laws, the first things sold are the lawmakers.)

Yes Patrick, Loved that quote too. Please keep those quotes coming. I used to collect such quotes in my younger days.

And Twosday (Tuesday) is associated with Mars, the god of war, according to the internet.

As my internet goes in and out today we’re almost at 22:22 GMT which adds more twos to the coincidence of twos.

Why the hell would the uk health secretary be talking about this supposed invasion. Yes bombs and artillery shells are bad for your health but it don't make sense.

@Patrick true I just thought when I read it I was like who cares. If it was the defense minister or boris or some higher bureaucrat it'd probably be taken more seriously.

Unfortunately, the only thing that would have prevented Putin behaving as he has would be the threat of full attack from The U.S . But that can't happen cuz no one wants ww3 to happen, sanctions will do Jack Shit, so he gets to do whatever he wants, the bigger problem imo is the China may use the same tactics with Taiwan after observing this unfold.

The esteemed GAG had already forecasted no invasion of Taiwan by China this year.

As for Ukraine, no all-out arms conflict. But it is more like 'death by a thousand cuts' for Ukraine. Erik has more interesting disclosure on the Ukraine crisis. Not sure how another oil crisis will help the Ukrainians.

I can only repeat what Obama said: Putin has a very poor hand, but he is playing it superbly. Afterall, the GDP of Russia is about the same as South Korea or Canada, and who is afraid of Canada?...unless you have an arsenal of nuclear weapons for which the shelf-life is about to expire.

Traditionally Russia has always had great chess players.There was also one superb American chess master. Unfortunately his political views were such that they revoked his one and only citizenship. Last I heard of him was when Iceland welcomed him and offered him citizenship. I just can't see the current Potus as a chess player.

Russia invading Ukraine and China invading Taiwan are scenarios that are night and day from a military standpoint. Russia simply walked up their tanks and infantry to the border ... China will have to build up its navy and bolster up its Air Force for a chance for a full invasion and occupation to succeed. The logistics involved in a major amphibious assault to take over a big ass island like Taiwan is no easy task. China is not there ... yet. IMO, by the time they are ready ... the shift will be in full effect and they'll have bigger problems than the thought of invading Taiwan. On a side note, if my opinion is correct ... thank fucking God. Last thing we need is more fucking wars ... people killing people ... what the fuck man. Haven't we had enough? Does planet Earth incarnation really have to involve humans killing humans on regular fucking basis? I'm just really sick of wars ... really really really sick of it.

@irene yeah the protesters in our capital weren't causing problems like destroying property or anything criminal compared to January 6 down in Washington.

@Scott2--Don't believe what you were told--Exactly who instigated the property damage (a few broken windows) on January 6th is yet to be determined. There are videos that show Capitol police moving gates and opening doors, calmly allowing the Trump supporters IN to the Capitol building.

Another video shows three Capital police guarding a door--one officer nods to the other, and they all step away and stand by the side wall as if to allow the "protesters" to begin bashing the glass windows in the doors. An unarmed woman in the crowd, Ashli Babbit, was shot and killed by a Capitol policeman on the other side of the door. She was the ONLY person who died from the events of the day. All other deaths claimed have been disproved as being from other causes. None of the "door bashers" in the video have been arrested, and the whole scene looked staged.

I know my descriptions don't adequately portray what these videos show and you will never see these videos unless you have access to Newsmax or One America News (OAN) which I highly recommend.

@irene oh I understand things are definitely fishy because the left certainly has a love/hate with trump. I live with 2 old farts who think there so smart and they will drink whatever kool-aid the fake news media is serving up.

Maybe Putin will not invade Ukraina, but it seems that russian missiles are raining over ukrainan military installment.

This kind of strikes are the russian equvalent of the american original "shock and awe" operation.
US follwed this operations with subsequent ground invasion (see Ieaq). Maybe Putin's strategists have a different idea?

If the US were serious about containing a threat they would be looking to China... whose hegemonic ambitions are every bit as great as those in the West... rather than Russia... the latter concerned only with their self defense...

....and I don't care about Bidens tax money embezzlement nation, we send a billion over, there is zero auditing on how it's spent and magically certain Bidens and others become richer.

That's why they want Ukraine. In fact every time you hear "foreign aide" you should throw up a little in your mouth because that's is a complete racket.

Yes, what unpleasant news to wake up to.

And Putin is warning of "consequences like you've never seen before" if other nations try to interfere.

Well...pathological Ukrainian government been playing with their ppl's lives since Obamas/Brandons (10%) time ...about time to get rid of them...

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Thursday issued comment on the scope and goal of the military objections, citing Putin's aim of the "demilitarization and denazification" of Ukraine.

"Ideally, Ukraine should be liberated, cleansed of Nazis (trained and supported by US govern), of pro-Nazi people and ideology,"

Peskov said, saying that operations would end only once these objectives have been reached.

It remains unclear whether this will mean regime change in Kiev, though at this point that scenario is looking more than likely.
There were early reports that President Zelensky has been offered safe passage if he leaves Ukraine.

Several days ago Putin said that those who burned people alive in Odessa will be held responsible. He was not bluffing.

Today he said that those who interfere in this conflict will suffer a disaster on the scale they never experienced in their history. He is not bluffing.

Nazi project called "Ukraine" is over.
