Sounds like you were not following the events because invasion was effectively "announced" by US Intelligence weeks before the actual declaration of war. Besides, this was not the only sign and if you know the way Putin talks and you listened to him days before the invasion (talking about Russian Empire's old glory) you'd see that he already made his mind up way before the actual day of invasion. Of course, it's easy to see things in hindsight (and I did truly predict the invasion before it happened) but sounds like you're not even aware of all the available data.
- yks 4y agoYou're arguing my point! Which is that people knew about this invasion, US intelligence knew, Ukrainians were preparing as well despite the rosy rhetoric of Zelensky.
- LewisVerstappen 4y agoThe media and the vast majority of US pundits were saying the invasion was impossible. US intelligence was being criticized before the invasion for being alarmist. Again, just read the news articles from January/February of this year. It sounds like you weren't paying any attention to this in Feb and are just trying to come up with arguments to support your points.
