Will Putin Need to Protect Ukraine?

One of the oldest tricks in the books is currently being played by Putin who is now saying how Russia may need to protect Ukraine.

And yet, Stinky Joe keeps saying Putin will invade Ukraine “within the next several days.”

And what’s even more laughable is how According to Axios:

President Biden told reporters Thursday that his “sense” is that Russia will invade Ukraine “within the next several days,” as troops and supplies continue to arrive at the border and international monitors report shelling across the line of contact in eastern Ukraine.

So, he’s basing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on “his sense?”

LMAO!

Meanwhile, what Putin is declaring – to protect Ukraine – is nothing new.

In fact, most major powers have acted on this very same tactic.

He knows he’s in the driver’s seat and could easily take Eastern Ukraine without having to bomb Kyiv.

That, in turn would back the excuse to protect the Russians in East Ukraine…which is mostly ethnic Russian.

Why Russia should Protect Ukraine

Sadly, the only answer the West has is to threaten Russia with economic sanctions.

And that is definitely NOT the way to go.

Why?

If the West dared to try to remove Russia from SWIFT – the international banking system – we’d soon see an incredible rise in commodities.

And increasing shortages.

Why?

1. Russia controls a substantial number of resources for manufacturing.
2. Even car production is dependent upon platinum…one of their major resources.
3. Energy prices would rise sharply in Europe.
4. And Germany cannot afford to have their gas turned off from Russia.
5. Most of Europe would freeze.

As a result, when you look around at the world leaders, you’ll see we’re stuck with the most incompetent group of fools in recorded modern history.

This leaves Putin as the last man standing…and the smartest by far.

And all he needs to do is wait and watch how the west is pandering and are unable to mount any defense.

Meanwhile, the Western front NEEDS A WAR to take the focus off of the deteriorating CoronaHoax.

The question remains:  Will we see a CIA induced false flag – or several false flags – act of aggression to give the West (Cough! NATO, Cough! Cough!) a reason to claim Putin has “Weapons of Mass Destruction,” ala Colin Powell style?
