US officials anticipate a horrific, bloody campaign that begins with two days or aerial bombardment and electronic warfare, followed by an invasion, with the possible goal of regime change.

That was ALWAYS the calculus for PUTIN....he has been 'buying time' and basically playing games with the US NATO and alliance....We must stop Putin, quickly, and permanently...

I would say they wait for the Olympic games to end, so 2 more weeks to go at least

Invasion has always been the end game. There were three questions to ponder: 1. When? 2. At what cost? 3. Thé role of Belarus and its people

if USA is so convinced then

@POTUS

WHERE are promised sanctions? Or not very convinced?

Bertil Jansson

@bjan9

As long as sanctions are not there, they deter, else not. Hope still is there. Putin suddenly wakes up and realizes he’ll have an appointment deep deep downstairs if he goes through with this.

Putin agreed Jumping...wait until after my China Olympics! Sick?

The inference is we have returned to the use of the word "imminent."

During Super Bowl.I would expect a dynamic event that associated actors launch cyber attacks on allies including critical infrastructure systems.note how this is coinciding with the propaganda of the trucker movement in a seal country to use indigenous actor filed by disinfo

Is it really the United States which expects an invasion or is it just six officials pontificating because at least 6 Ukrainians living in Kiev were interviewed today and they ain't expecting any such invasion.

Next week, gotcha. We'll speak in two weeks then.

Is there a helicopter on standby to fly to the US embassy? Are enough paper shredders under activation? Have Ukraine's bank accounts been identified for plunder?

And furthermore when it doesn't happen, NATO will claim victory for preventing an imaginary invasion.

Replying to

and

if Jake Sullivan, Anthony Blinken and Ned Price agree tat it will happen, it definitely will NOT happen. They were 100% wrong about every aspect of the war in Afghanistan and I expect they will be just as wrong about this one. These guys are always surprised.

Replying to

and

If there is one stream of information/intelligence coming through does citing SIX officials make it more likely? Dodgy.
