You think I am kidding?
Nope! See for yourself:
In other news,
- Pavel Klimkin, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, declared that “the Ukraine won a battle, but not the war yet“.
- The US spokescreature Ned Price declared that the US now sees more, not fewer, Russian forces along the border than before. He added the invasion could happen “anytime”.
- Both of Germany and the USA have declared that there are no mass graves in the Donbass and that there is no genocide there. You got a love it when leaders of GERMANY and the USA begin lecturing Russians about the meaning of the word “genocide”! Its not “genocide” when they do it, but it is “genocide” when others do it (or even don’t, like the fake “Srebrenica genocide”!)
- GOP Senate members are proposing more sanctions from hell.
- There are reports of a sharp increase in attacks against the LDNR. LDNR forces have received the order to return fire.
- The Nazis from western Ukraine have not sent a “friendship train” to Mariupol and the Donbass (a similar “friendship train” to Crimea resulted in the Crimean uprising).
- Blinken has declared that the US saw no withdrawal of Russian forces
- The website of the Russian Foreign Ministry seems to be down from a DDoS attack
Want more?
Sure!
Once the Russian invasion does not happen on the 20th, I suppose that the Ukies will celebrate yet another victory.
And the US will move the next invasion date by another couple of days.
Right now there are numerous reports of artillery fire, anti-tank weapons fire along the full line of contact.
There are also reports of a surface to surface missile attack.
LDNR civilians are filming it all on their cellphones.
Nobody in the western media seems to notice.

UPDATE:
Biden has just announced that Russia will attack under a false flag in the “next few days”!
Wait one – so there is not going to be any invasion by those Russians? Hugghsheeeit! What am I going to do with all these portable fire extinguishers? I planned to sell them at five hundred Dollars per bottle to my neighbors after those Russian bombs set their homes on fire. Cash, in my hand, only. (Hey, what choice would they have? Fire Department is going to have their own problems.) I figured they’d all need at least ten. But now that plan is down the drain. How am I gonna make back that money-money? Hmm, here is an idea. Maybe I can spy on those Russians and sell the information. That Curveball guy made it big doing the same thing to Iraq. And look how it all that turned out – he’s famous to boot, a real hero. If it is big money, then that is for me. Yea, spy on Russia! Can anyone help me out here and tell me where I can find some Russians? Never mind, the cab driver will know. I think that would be a good job because I am very good at finding dirt on people. For example, I had my mother incarcerated on a six month sentence for stealing my car. (No, I don’t care if she “borrowed” it again to take aunt Nancy to her doctor. She should have asked me.) So, yea. That’s the plan now. Long Live Capitalism!!! I have always loved my country to the point of death (the country, not me), and I will never stop trying. USA! USA! USA!
In addition, Russia handed over their responses this morning to what I believe is both NATO and US, and then turned around and promptly expelled from Russia, Bart Gorman, deputy ambassador from the US Embassy.
They asked for diplomacy and refused Russia’s requests. I think they are going to get Heavy Metal diplomacy.
“Once the Russian invasion does not happen on the 20th, I suppose that the Ukies will celebrate yet another victory.
And the US will move the next invasion date by another couple of days.”
Is this a revolving, groundhog-day dynamics that can continue for many months?
Does the West gains anything with that, besides time? Any risk about losing credibility?
Who bears the costs of this sustained and tense situation?
I’ve been asking for some time: what happens when Russia doesn’t invade for days, weeks, months? What is the US end game once it’s definitely established that an invasion is not going to happen?
This is the number one reason why I believe a false flag is likely. The US has to do *something* to avoid looking like idiots. Just claiming that “we forced Putin to cancel the invasion” isn’t likely to fly. More importantly, such a response doesn’t gain the neocons all the benefits they were expecting to get from a conflict.
As for who’s bearing the cost, well, Ukraine just claimed it’s costing them a couple billion dollars a day because they can’t do any business deals with foreigners while the “invasion” is pending. Of course, the US couldn’t care less about that as long as it gets its agendas.
Kamala Harris goes to Munich h Security Conference plus meets Zeftoo…rallying the troops to keep on message plus idiot Stolt recommends or will put 4 battle groups in eastern europe…logically that means a battle?
Putin wants US troops out of central and eastern Europe plus Deputy Ambassador USA in Moscow is expelled……UK Truss is back in Ukaine (so quick it must be prearranged a la flase flag?)condemmning Donbass shelling the kindergarten whereas it was Ukraine…..all getting topsy turvey.
Actually it is this guy
Russia has expelled US deputy chief of diplomatic mission Bart Gorman from the country, the US Embassy has said. Washington considers the move unjustified as the official had a three-year visa and his stay in Russia hadn’t exceeded three years, the embassy said, emphasising that the United States would respond to Gorman’s expulsion. The expulsion of Bart Gorman comes a month after Washington told Russian diplomats at the embassy in the United States to leave the country. The US State Department explained the decision by saying that more than 50 diplomats and their families had to leave due to expiring visas. Moscow, in turn, called the move an expulsion.
Foreign Minstry Russia website down.
There are word games in Spanish, for Kamala Harris, if the K is replaced by an L, it would be Lamala Harris.
Separating La Mala Harris, results in 2 translations, the Bad Harris or The Evil Harris.
If they have neighbors who speak Spanish, they hear them speak Spanish and name Kamala “Lamala” Harris, let them know what they are saying.
Kamala is a very common word in Finnish meaning
horrible, awful, ghastly, dreadful, abysmal, shocking, appalling, etc.
As a wise man (Bullet Tooth Tony) once said: “Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity”.
The Ukraine is safe. It’s Washington that is targeted. The idiots, and I do mean IDIOTS, in Washington DC, have no idea what kind of hellish firestorm they will encounter if they continue with this nonsense.
But I am in the minority. Most people still believe that the United States is strong and ruled by capable leadership.
The idiots in Washington got it right. What does that make you?
Saker:
Do you think nuclear disarmament has reached the level where what remains of the Russian deterrent is not enough?
Sure Hiroshima aftermath was bad but many of those buildings were wooden as opposed to modern brick concrete also blast radius is limited to a few km, Russia has vastly fewer launchers too for retaliatory strike on US than back in Cold War.
Don’t get me wrong not saying nuclear war is welcome or a good thing but it’s clear US are relentless.
Maybe they believe could win such a war or at least absorb it then overcome what remains of Russia via NATO in Europe to take over control of resources and dominate China.
Do you think nuclear disarmament has reached the level where what remains of the Russian deterrent is not enough?
No, I do not think that.
Quite the opposite, in fact, Russia’s deterrent (nuclear AND conventional) is stronger than ever :-)

Andrei, Dmitri Orlov stated a little while back that many of the US nuclear bombs are now duds due to the Uranium decaying and metal fatigue which will prevent them from functioning as anything other than highly toxic metal. Still dangerous but not explosive. Do you have any insight on this?
Another aspect:
There are many more targets, due to the vast territory, in Russia that would need to be hit then in the USA.
In a full nuclear war Russia is more likely to survive.
Spot on , this is the first time , I have heard this , because this is what I have been saying and posting on other sites that Russia is almost twice the size of US , has more deliverable nukes than the US and has cities with less population density than the US, so in any nuclear exchange Russia would be more survivable than the US. I think due to superior weapon systems like the Avangarde hypersonic glide vehicle with which US ABM has no defense against more of Russia ICBMs can penetrate US’ defenses for a total destruction.

Blinken doubling down right now. Incredible.
USA is bullying Russia, and shows it weakness.
Russia should not get angry or panic and give a well timed full power blow to the nose of USA.
Well, let’s see. Out of control inflation. Chaos at the southern border. Rising crime rates. Crumbling infrastructure. Failing education system. Midterm elections right around the corner. Perhaps you can think of a better distraction than “war with Russia”?
Putin, pretty please: Do hand over Crimea to NATO and step down in favour of Navalny. As opposed to the silly pastime of second-guessing the date for Russia’s invasion of 404, the ensuing lovefest when you (VVP) at long last throw in the towel will be instant as well as overwhelming.
Kindly note my response here on the sitrep of this morning. It is important.
/sitrep-donetsk-situation-at-line-of-engagement/#comment-1019563
The Duma has asked Putin to recognize the independence of the Lugansk and Donetsk People’s Republics. This is unlikely to happen, as it could mean Russia abandoning the UNSC mandated Minsk Agreements. It would also imply that Ukraine would be forced to cut off diplomatic relations with Russia.
If Russia wanted to take a more assertive position, it might unilaterally end its diplomatic relations with the Kiev regime (as they now call it). The UN Security Council resolution does not demand that Russia maintain diplomatic relations with Ukraine. This step should cause a shock in Europe. Russian-Ukrainian trade might end. Gas flow through Ukraine would be threatened. Electricity prices in Europe might peak at 1000 €/MWh.
There is a third option. Russia might simply move its embassy to Donetsk, without ever formally announcing an end of diplomatic relations and without formally recognizing the People’s Republics. Such a status would not be unprecedented. Russia maintains embassies in Sana and in Kabul without formally recognizing the Houti or the Taliban governments. The United States has an “Syrian Embassy” that is nowhere near Syria.
The move might start by Russia declaring that it must reduce its staff in Kiev. The stated reasons would be the deteriorating security situation in Kiev and the need to have diplomatic representation in Lvov, where all the other embassies now are and where the government is rumored to be evacuating. At the same time some of the embassy staff might be moved to Donetsk because of “security”.
A dying empire, a demented ruler, a propaganda machine spinning out of control – any other time or place (and without the economic control mechanism of the dollar) such actions would warrant impeachment and international condemnation.
In other words, whatever Uncle Scam is projecting onto Russia is what Uncle Scam is/will be doing. If memory serves Uncle Scam declared Russian forces would invade on Valentine’s Day, 14th February; isn’t that the day Ukrainian forces started attacking LDNR militias?
I wonder what Uncle Scam has planned for 20th February, the last day of the 2022 Winter Olympics. The “Trumptards” are claiming a new biological weapons attack will be unleashed by China; could NATO instead be planning a British novichok attack somewhere on Ukrainian territory?
On the pending Russian invasion of 404:
In case Putin has forgotten about it, somebody (think Liz Trash) could repeat the awesome pronunciamento attributed both to Tony Abbott and Stephen Harper, Brisbane November 2014:
Well I guess I’ll shake your hand, but I only have one thing to say: You need to get out of Ukraine!
If Putin is impressed is another matter of course.
IMO something not being acknowledged in these discussions of all the hyped-up American expectations for war in Ukraine is the desperate need of the fake Biden administration (and his Globalist handlers) for a distraction from the collapsing Corona Chan “pandemic” narrative and the burgeoning push of Americans to recover their stolen freedom.
All made a little more urgent now that the Canadians are leading the way with their truckers revolt.
Any excuse to declare martial law, clamp down hard on the common folk and suspend mid-term elections would be really handy for sleepy Joe right about now.
Wheels within wheels…
President Putin, Foreign Minister Lavrov and General of the Russian Federation Army Shoigu have met in a secret meeting to discuss the appropriate response to U.S. Secretary of State Blinky’s hysterical word-salad at the UNSC.
They have all have decided to send in the Babushka. She is an old hand at these types of threats and employs a tactic more effective than throwing a shoe.
Here she is in action:
See: https://cdn.rt.com/russiapedia-media/of-russian-origin/babushka/babushka_1-t.JPG
Like a chess master, the picture conveys the message that Russia cannot be intimidated, bullied, or coerced into doing something that has not been carefully thought out as to all the possibilities and outcomes.
This gesture is well deserved and says, “Your false plea is wasted and we are not deterred; we will prevail.”

Do you have a source for that?

My Dear Saker,
Apparently, I have exceeded my humble ability to make humor and now I see by your response that an unintended measure of veracity has been perceived.
I suggest you open the link I provided and then it will be revealed to you. :)
Thank you for all you do for us, here at the vineyard. The grapes are sweetened with the words of truth that leaves us with the superb taste of wine upon our lips.
Oh, ok, sorry
Cheers
Andrei
it is good, isn’t it! A totally and unmistakably rejection of stupidity.
Trying to sift through all the reports, speculations and comments clouding any clear understanding of what exactly is happening in Ukraine today, I can only identify two knowns and one unknown.
We know the U.S. has retreated to Lvov.
We know the Ukrainian forces along the Donbass contact line have been given the green light to “go for it”.
We do not know what Russia will do in response to the two knowns.
Did Mr Putin receive orders before or after this announcement? Will he meekly obey if the Americans provide the poison gas which he will need? Can US advisors from Mr Blinken help Mr Putin to organise this false flag? Has Mr Putin made a comprehensive list of all candidates (incl. women and children Mr Blinken nominates) he is helping the US to gas?
The madness continues.
Briefing by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, Moscow, February 16, 2022

Allied Resolve 2022 Russia−Belarus military exercises
The West continues to advance absurd claims with respect to the Allied Resolve 2022 Russia−Belarus military exercises. I would like to remind you that at the briefing on January 20, 2022, almost a month ago, we warned journalists and the general public that Western propaganda would be rigorously stirring up speculations about Russia’s alleged invasion of Ukraine from the territory of Belarus. In fact, all publications have included this particular tagline. The developments of the past few weeks clearly demonstrate that the purpose of the campaign was to create a media smokescreen for “pumping up” the Kiev regime with weapons. There are indications that this situation may be used by the Kiev leadership for suicidal aggression against Donbass. In their attempt to spread panic, the strategists in Washington and London not only inspired fear in Ukrainians but also themselves and their own citizens by vociferously announcing evacuation of their diplomats from Kiev and advising their fellow nationals to leave Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova.
With regard to the Allied Resolve 2022 exercises, they are being carried out in full accordance with the proclaimed concept. Russian Deputy Defence Minister Alexander Fomin provided detailed information about the goals, stages and timeline of the drills during a briefing on January 18. A similar event was held for foreign military representatives by our Belarusian partners in Minsk on the same day. But CNN and Bloomberg would not report this, of course. Press tours of the training grounds were organised. During the final stage of the drills, observation is scheduled in Belarus, with invitations extended to foreign military attaches and media representatives.

I suggested Russia should invite the West to the training grounds. Well, they did – no one came. I still think they should offer all-expenses-paid tours of the training facilities to the alternative media in the West.
Sounds like “they” will make an invasion happen. Hope Russia responds in a convincing way & goes full scale if this $hit continues. Destroy all foreigners in Ukraine for a start. I’d advocate for peace any day & all day but a/holes like the Yanks & NATO need a very strong message.
