We got a banger today from @alexbward and @QuintForgey on why experts thought Feb. 16 was never really going to be the day Russia invades Ukraine ... but why ~Feb. 20 might be.https://t.co/r422PE3O4s via @politico (and with help from @magmill95 @paulmcleary and @dlippman )— Ben Pauker (@benpauker) February 16, 2022

    Indistinguishable from apocalypse predictions

      With the fact that hot conflict between Russia and the US carries the threat of nuclear winter, these effectively are apocalypse predictions minus Jesus

        Not even minus Jesus anymore, some ex military chuds that joined the mainly neo Nazi malitas in Ukraine said that they did it because God/Jesus/the holy spirit called them to do it.

        Supply side war mongering Jesus is in folks.

    The wolf is coming. It is always in a state of coming. It is always potentially having come. Trust us. We are constantly in a state of emergency where things are emerging.

    Exact dates were never expressed. What was said was that Russia could invade “as soon as Feb 16.” Feb 20th would fall in that timeframe. This is not news. Neither is saying western intel was wrong. It wasn’t.

    Warmongers cannot fail, they can only be failed.

    THIS is the Blueanon version of "this day will be the REAL inauguration of Donald Trump".

    I predict on Feb 20th my partner and I will go get dollar oysters for her birthday, and, to be even more bold, I predict I will eat mine much too quickly.

    Who fucking cares if they lie about withdrawing troops from Belarus, everyone tells me that having troops in consenting foreign countries that just happen to border your enemy is a totally fine thing to do and if you feel threatened by it you're actually the real threatening party.

      seriously, watching all of these people cry all day about how war games are acts of imperialism but they NEVER FUCKING MENTION the fact that america has wargames on the border with the DPRK (and in countless other places too probably) literally every single year makes me :agony-4horsemen:
