Snowden also said Russia wasn't going to invade Ukraine in 2022.

  Most of the Ukrainian Government and military leaders were also pretty adamant Russia wouldn't invade either at that point.

    Incorrect. Ukraine revamped their entire military and their relations with the West after Russia stole Crimea. Russian's 2 week war wouldn't be entering it's second year if Ukraine's government and military leadership were adamant they weren't going to be invaded.

      They still didn't think they would be invaded at that point in time.

        Russia's buildup of equipment and personal began months if not over a year prior to the 2022 [1] invasion. The idea that Ukraine's military and the West didn't know this was happening is comical. If Ukraine didn't think there was going to be invasion we wouldn't be entering year two of what was supposed to be a two week special military operation.

  Is everyone living in Russia supposed to be a Russian military expert?
  • wnevets 3y ago
    Not being an expert has never stopped Snowden claiming to be one.
