According to multiple contacts, Russia was scheduled to invade several days ago but U.S. Intelligence disclosure caused Russia to delay in an attempt to undermine confidence in the U.S. Intelligence Community but ultimately, the disclosures won’t stop the main assault.

Yes, and Biden and his defense advisors have used US intel quite adroitly these past few weeks. It's been quite enlightening to watch, I myself would never have thought to use intel the way they are. The knee jerk is to just sit on what you know. I'm glad to see it's useful.

My thoughts confirmed. Thank you. Ultimately we bought some time to race in supplies and give diplomacy a chance. But this was Putin’s call.

Good -- then US Intelligence should disclose attacks every day for the next ten years or so.

That delay likely was critical to giving Ukraine time to start mobilising reserves and getting additional weapons in

How that undermines anything? They still gonna invade, with fake outrage as justification as always.
No one cares, everyone knows who Putin is at this point.

They just gave the Ukraine people more time to prepare. That’s not nothing.

As if everyone wouldn't just conclude that the US calling their shots made them delay.

I believe this is why we/EU/UK were shotgunning all potential false flag info onto every medium available. Just trying to avoid/delay some really evil shit.

Hopefully, those few days helped Ukraine prepare more and get more weapons.

On December 27th of last year, Vladimir Zhirinovsky said:
"At 4am on 22 February 2022 It will be a year when Russia once again becomes great."
Not exactly on schedule but he did give a clue of what was going to happen.

This is why he is in the same outfit in his addresses to announce “Special Operation” and declaring regions independent.
