US believes Russia is planning to invade Ukraine in 2022

It is not only China that is rising on the world stage. While the Red Chinese seem to be getting ready to Invasion of Taiwan And in his heroic attempt to crush the Republic of China once and for all, Putin’s Russia is, according to leaks from within the government, preparing for war with Ukraine.
The Russians are said to have prepared a massive force of nearly 200,000 troops ready to attack Ukraine in early 2022. According to Fox News:
WE trusted officials Russia is planning a military invasion from many sides of the UkraineFox News confirmed with 175,000 troops in early 2022.
A senior US defense official told Fox News that the US is taking recent signals from the Kremlin very seriously and does not consider the issue a hoax.
Russia already has about 100,000 troops stationed along its border with Ukraine, the defense official said.
[…]Ukraine’s planned offensive for 2022 will involve double the number of Russian troops that took part in exercises near the Ukrainian border last spring.
“The plans include the widespread movement of 100 tactical battalions with about 175,000 personnel, along with armor, artillery and equipment,” a Biden administration official told Fox News. right Biden said.
However, while the usual suspects are quite worried, many people who are not part of the Pantsuit Empire have a far different view of the situation, like ZeroHedge Report in a recent article. In fact, some speculated that it was all just idle talk to pose a threat from Russia so that Biden could easily “win” when he met Putin:
WRONG WARNING! “Russia is planning a massive, 175,000-strong offensive against Ukraine” https://t.co/QoCmxsErmV?
Highlight scary “unclassified” satellite information (aka official leaks). Don’t worry: here’s the script:
Biden will warn Putin at virtual mtg next week and THWART Putin’s war plan.– Ray McGovern (@raymcgovern) December 4, 2021
ZeroHedge supports that opinion, speech:
just a few days ago, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby clearly downplayed the ‘threat of aggression’ from Russia. “We’re watching it very closely,” he say at a news conference on Tuesday, added: “We do not envision any military intervention by the United States in this conflict.” As we’ve described before, variations of “we’re monitoring” from the Pentagon do not at all suggest that US defense leaders actually believe a military strike on Ukraine. is actually happening.
Although repeated accusations against Moscow over the past weeks have been made without concrete evidence – which the Kremlin has pointed out (in the wake of repeated reports documenting Russian forces was “developed”… in Russia) – the new Washington Post report is at least trying to show some level of “evidence”, in the form of satellite image:
Unclassified US intelligence documents obtained by the Post, including satellite photos, show that Russian forces are concentrated in four locations. Currently, 50 battle groups are being deployed, along with newly arrived tanks and artillery, according to the document.
But again, there is consensus that the ‘aggressive forces’ mentioned are all stationed and well positioned within Russian territory, in some cases deep within the country’s sovereign borders.
Others on Twitter used this as an excuse to mock how the awakening has taken over the western army and will make it hard for them to beat the Russians, if that happens:
So in truth, a good farce or simply an attempt to expose the weakness of the West, it is not entirely clear what is happening with Russia and Ukraine. Some argue that war is imminent, others say that the Deep State is using purportedly misleading and apocalyptic reports to promote war with the Russians. Only time will tell.
Senior US defense official told @Fox News US intelligence sees signs that #Putin invasion plan #Ukraine on multiple fronts employing 175,000 troops by early 2022. The US government is taking Putin’s signals seriously. They don’t consider it a hoax.
