In the press, the United States again postponed the date of the "Russian offensive" in Ukraine

56

Michael Kofman, a senior fellow at the Center for Naval Analysis, considered the threat of a Russian military invasion of Ukrainian territory on February 16 to be exaggerated. According to this military expert, this event should be expected no earlier than the 20th.

This is reported by the American magazine Politico.



Thus, in the US press, the date of the "Russian offensive" against Ukraine was once again postponed.

Kofman believes that a whole series of facts points to the correctness of his assumption. The fact is that February 20 is the final day of large-scale joint exercises of the Armed Forces of Russia and Belarus, after which, as the Belarusian military department officially stated, all Russian servicemen will leave the country.

This date will let you see if they are lying or not.

- says the American analyst.

But the fact that Western experts themselves are lying one after another, pretending to be real Nostradamus, apparently does not bother them much.

The analyst suggests that Russian troops will wait with the "attack" until Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky returns to the country from the Munich conference, which also ends on February 20. Yes, and Putin, according to Kofman, will not “intrude” until the end of the Beijing Olympics, so as not to upset the Chinese President Xi Jinping.


Statements by Western media naming various dates of "Russian aggression" against Ukraine were commented by the head of the Ukrainian defense department Oleksiy Reznikov. The minister believes that in this way they are pursuing some of their goals. And the Ukrainians, he said, should respond to them without panic, keeping calm.

    The meaning of this window dressing with the postponement of the date and the alleged "ignorance" of the West of the start date of the nix is ​​to avert suspicions of unleashing the conflict and colluding with those and those.
    Ukraine is prepared to be slaughtered by the conspiracy of those and these (one gang-watering can).
    An attempt to find a difference between the parties is doomed to failure.
    There is no difference at all.
    It's just that world government needs war.
    And in its current form, between the Slavs.

    If he attacks, everyone around will scream that Russia is the aggressor and all that.
    If he does NOT attack, everyone around will begin to yell that international pressure has had its effect, Russia was scared and all that stuff ...

      Well, for example:

      The sky is clear or cloudy.


      “A cloudless sky over all of Spain” - according to some sources, the password (call sign) for the beginning of the military rebellion against the Second Republic in Spain, used on July 18, 1936 in the transmission of a radio station located in Spanish North Africa (they call Ceuta, Melilla, Tetuan), and served as a signal for the simultaneous joint action of the military throughout the country, which became the beginning of the civil war of 1936-1939.

      In the USSR, a message about such a call sign (in the edition “Across Spain, a cloudless sky”) is already found in the book “Heroic Spain”, published in the fall of 1936[1] and then constantly reproduced[2][3][4].

      In Spanish sources, there is almost no mention of any specific password for the beginning of the uprising. According to journalist David Solara, editor-in-chief of the popular history magazine La Aventura de la Historia, there was no simultaneous joint action either: “There were many different signals, each province had its own, since not everyone could rebel at the same time” [5] . A few sources in Spanish give the call sign phrase in various versions: En toda España el cielo está despejado (Cuban journalist P. Guzmán Castro)[6], En toda España cielo despejado (Argentine novelist Mabel Pagano)[7], Todo el cielo de España está despejado (Eugenio Posada, memoirist, in a book by Cuban journalist R. Hernandez Ortega)[8].

      But it is reliably known that on July 18 at 15:15 the Republican government in Madrid broadcast an official message on the radio, beginning with the words: “The government again confirms that there is complete calm throughout the peninsula” (Spanish: De nuevo habla el Gobierno para confirmar la absoluta tranquilidad en toda la peninsula

And then just Ukraine itself will cease to exist as a state and they will say yes, it's Russia that ceased to exist without firing a single shot. To blame that Russia did not attack and the state simply collapsed ....
