To bait Putin the US announced there will be ‘serious consequences’ if Russia dares to invade Ukraine. At the same time Canada, the UK, the USA and other NATO nations continue to pour massive amounts of soldiers and weapons into Ukraine.
The invasion has already happen. NATO invaded.

The UK “leaked” a report that Russia planned to install a pro-Russian leader in Ukraine. Both Prime Minister Boris Johnson and President Biden expressed SHOCK that Russia would plan that.
Of course they did not express shock when the US and NATO caused the Euromaidan overthrow of the duly elected Ukraine government while Assistant US Secretary of State, neocon Victoria Nuland passed out cookies.
Now 92% of Ukrainians regret their decision to overthrow President Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.

Two Russian cargo ships docked in Cuba last week and the US immediately warned Russia there would be ‘serious consequences’ if Russia tried to install a military base in Cuba or South America. In the meantime the US and NATO continue to install missile bases in Ukraine, on Russia’s border. The hypocrisy of the US and NATO is endless.

People have urged Putin to go into Ukraine and clean out the mess. Some suggest he should start with Washington DC.

Putin hasn’t taken the bait so the US continues to taunt Russia. The US released a report saying that Russia intended to attack its own Russian troops to stage a false flag and then use that event as a reason to invade Ukraine.

Russia knows that the US and NATO will attack Russian troops and then blame the attack on Russia itself, claiming Russia staged it.
Russia does not need a staged event and already has many valid reasons to invade. The NATO missiles installed against Russia’s border simply can not be tolerated as they pose an extreme security risk to the entire Russian Federation.
