Russians to the East, North ... and From the South?
the game is afoot
The slow building crisis in Ukraine is reaching a point of critical mass.
I think a decision point in coming in mid-Feb.
I'm pondering in more detail over at USNIBlog.

To Hunter's point, Biden basically telegraphed he is disappointed but expects him to invade, but not too much. If Putin invades extensively he'll be really disappointed. He really needs to stick to a script. In effect, he green-lighted Putin. Never seen anything like it from an American leader and the press just doesn't say a thing. Have they even organized anything in the UN? Maybe the media isn't covering it but annexing is a really, really bad historical sign. And remember, Russia made a deal with Germany to divide Poland and slaughtered the officers and intelligentsia. We need to be upgrading our readiness. Have we not learned anything from Pearl Harbor?
The best comment I saw yesterday was from Jack Posobiec asking if we are all paying attention yet and stating:
"Many in the Biden Admin like Tony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Jon Finer, and Victoria Nuland see Ukraine as unfinished business from their time in the Obama Admin. The plan was for Ukraine to join NATO/EU under Hillary. Now they are picking up where they left off."
He's right.
