Suave shares that The Ukraine Rescue Mission is funding and doing incredible life saving work and 100% of donations there are being used to evacuate people from Ukraine and provide essential assistance to refugees.

"Mr. Harry Adjmi and the amazing members of the Sephardic Community spearheaded this fund and aside from the huge financial support and various resources they are providing, I have been in touch with Harry and his team from the beginning of this nightmare and they continuously make it possible for me to provide the needs of so many individuals and families and I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart. They have done literally life saving incredible work. If you can, please make a donation to them here."

IMHO, the answer to that is: Physically? After Ukraine implodes, not a second earlier. There is likely to be cyber warfare, and possibly building internal support for Russia within Ukraine.

150k troops can't stay staged there for more than a few weeks. Tent conditions are too poor and morale collapses.

Personally, I think it was going to happen today but the rain postponed. Mud isn't good for tanks.

Postponed today simply to show the world that they are lying when they said the war will start this day

So far they have (with the exception of certain areas).

Isn't the country wanting to join NATO one of the driving forces behind this?

FTFY

I have no idea what Putin has up his sleeve, but you can be sure that he will do everything imaginable (or unimaginable) so that Ukraine doesn't become part of NATO.

IMHO his greatest leverage is with the Germans, who desperately need his energy supplies.

Is this the invasion everyone was warning about?

This is a common occurrence. What's news is that Russian media is reporting it

A very different perspective on Putin, Russia, Ukraine, & NATO than what seems to be the prevailing narrative (well maybe not so much to @ExGingi ) around here

You really think that if people don't understand it after the clear edited video (and transcript) on MEMRI's site, they will want to watch a 2 hour YouTube discussion and then get it?
