"has been honest enough," pretty close to the last time someone said that "he had no reason to believe that Putin was lying"
Didn't see you invalidate anything I offered

Super lefty

Putin Runs the Table in Ukraine and Laughs in Bungling Biden's Foolish Face
ORANGE MAN GONE; NOW I CAN TAKE OVER
Putin declared he would recognize the de facto independence of the pro-Russian Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Eastern Ukraine.
If you are shocked by this, I would submit you should back away from the video game console and start paying attention.
Supporting an autonomous status for Donetsk and Luhansk has been Russia’s position since the annexation of Crimea.
Since that time, Russia has issued Russian passports, which implies citizenship, to anyone in Donetsk and Luhansk who wants them.
To date, about 20% of that population has taken Moscow up on the offer.
In the context of this ginned-up “crisis,” it is hardly surprising that Putin would carry through on a move that has been telegraphed for nearly a decade…but wasn’t executed until Joey SoftServe was infesting the Oval Office.
How did we get to this point?
Let’s review. In December 2019, Joey SoftServe and Ukraine President Zelensky had a telephone call. The Associated Press reported that bungling Biden had leaned on Zelensky to make territorial concessions to Russia during that call.
Euronews confirmed this reporting. This opening move by bungling Biden confirmed for Putin and Europe that the United States doesn’t see Ukrainian territorial integrity as a US security goal.
In a unique action of political courage and foresight, on January 13, the Senate entertained a bill to impose sanctions on the Russian Nord Stream 2 project to send a message to Putin that his adventurism would not be tolerated. Egged on by the White Louse, Senate DEMOCRATS killed the bill. No other attempt to sanction Russia was introduced by Chuck Schumer or any DEMOCRAT.
On January 19, bungling Biden publicly signaled that his junta would be okay with some Russian movement into Ukrainian territory.
Just two days ago, President Zelensky indicated that he was less than excited about how bungling Biden was “helping” him.
Over the weekend, a security conference was held in Munich on the Ukraine “crisis.” For reasons we can only speculate on, bungling Biden elected to stay home and sent cackling Kamala.
The bungling Biden junta’s response has been singularly toothless, considering they admit they anticipated Putin’s move.
Now that Hunter Biden isn't on the Burisma board any more, there are probably close to zero US companies and persons with direct trade, finance, or investment in Donetsk and Luhansk.
As it stands right now, Putin has run the table. He can move troops into Donetsk and Luhansk because he has recognized them as autonomous.

You forgot your point someplace.
true. but but's going to lead to an insertion of Russian troops to "protect" the populace
or it might be at the request of the newly recognized states of LDNR to push Ukraine national troops out of their new sovereign entity
This looks like part of softening Ukraine for a full on shock and awe invasion to me.
I am very definitely a minority opinion here.
think of it as a chess game. Putin just took a couple of Ukraine's pawns off the board.
can he pick up a rook or a bishop as well> a major piece like on Odessa?
Or will he checkmate Kviv itself? and "win" Ukraine =game over
The pawns are gone ( Crimea and LDNR are only 14% of Ukraine territory combined)
now it's the west's move -see what they do -then respond further
More sanctions and a retreat on the claim that we are all for diplomacy is next.
And the Ukrainians getting more stressed by the day, as their economy finishes collapsing.
This is not much different than pounding the shit out of Iraqis before the invasion...this is the softening up...reducing their willingness to fight.

Seemed self evident enough to me, Finland is worried about Putin.
Which has what to do with entertainment in Dark Ages?
Putin sends tanks into Ukraine
President Putin ordered Russian troops and tanks into Ukraine’s breakaway eastern regions last night under the guise of a peacekeeping force after signing decrees recognizing their independence.
The order sending peacekeeping missions into Donetsk and Luhansk amounts to a de facto military invasion of the eastern corner of Ukraine.
Before the order Putin gave a televised national address in which he denounced Nato encroachment on Russia’s borders and vowed to defend the two regions.
Russia has controlled Donetsk and Luhansk via proxies since it fomented an armed separatist movement there, having annexed Crimea in 2014.
