I guess they don't have computer access in Putin's War Room. I love the transparency by the Biden Administration which is necessary to beat Putin's propaganda. President Biden's administration is stating they will back an insurgency in Ukraine if there is an invasion. It isn't an insurgency if the Ukraine government is defending it's homeland. It is support and direct support, which the USA is proud of, to end the conflict along the border. This is ridiculous.
I would also expect Russian troops coming from Crimea as well. The bridge should be dismantled.

Washington - The US has information (click here) that indicates Russia has prepositioned a group of operatives to conduct a false-flag operation in eastern Ukraine, a US official told CNN on Friday, in an attempt to create a pretext for an invasion.
The official said the US has evidence that the operatives are trained in urban warfare and in using explosives to carry out acts of sabotage against Russia's own proxy forces.
The allegation echoes a statement released by Ukraine's Ministry of Defense on Friday, which said that Russian special services are preparing provocations against Russian forces in an attempt to frame Ukraine. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan hinted at the intelligence during a briefing with reporters on Thursday.
"Our intelligence community has developed information, which has now been downgraded, that Russia is laying the groundwork to have the option of fabricating the pretext for an invasion," Sullivan said on Thursday. "We saw this playbook in 2014. They are preparing this playbook again and we will have, the administration will have, further details on what we see as this potential laying of the pretext to share with the press over the course of the next 24 hours."...
More propaganda (click here) Putin is starting this now because of "winter" and Gasprom. Europe is dependent on METHANE from Russia. Both Russia and Europe need to end the use of methane (natual gas) for energy purposes. Putin wants to use fear of the discontinuance of natural gas to Ukraine and Europe as an attempt to stem Western assistance to 44 million Ukrainians. I don't see the USA backing down. I am confident there will be humanitarian relief if Russia decides they can successfully invade and occupy Ukraine.
The real question is "Will Vladimir Putin be desperate enough to declare war with The West when and not if he fails in Ukraine?" That is the real question. He and China recently affirmed their devotion to each other as communist dictatorships and North Korea is heating up it's missile program again. In the past, this nuclear mess has been brinkmanship and that is what they may be counting on to catch the USA and Europe off guard with "first strike weapons."
