He will not do a damn thing til the Chinese have had their Winter Games, when do they finish? The ten days after they end will be the time to do it.
Putin met Xi a few days before the Beijing Games began so i'd guess assurances were made in that conference.
You could also assume the Chinese will underwrite any sanctions made by the NATO allies in the short term but a great deal will hinge on NORDstream2 and Germanys need for energy. The Americans are persistent in trying to disrupt that pipeline and will go to great lengths to ensure it won't come online.
The "invasion" was "imminent" several times several weeks ago.
Then the invasion was "put on hold due to unfavourable weather conditions" a couple of weeks ago.
Then the russians were waiting for more troops
Then there were fake reports of blood banks being delivered to the front line
Then there are fake reports of a "false flag attack" by the UK's clown and USA reports put out many times over a week weeks ago.
Now the UK and USA has named "Wednesday" as the day of the attack
Bottom line as I've always said, no invasion at worst Dombas going like crimera as about 80% of those there support and speak Putin's language.
These fake reports are only being put out by certain countries.
Few weeks ago uk and usa told all non-eseential staff to leave and imo trying to cause panic.
Then about 3 days ago usa told their people to leave closely followed by our clown.
Now we have a named day for an attack
Would Russia really allow thousands of state of the art anti-tank weapons into a country they were ready to attack but did not before the weapons arrive - you know the answer.
The uk and usa has talked the fool Putin into a corner and thankfully he will only go into Dombas but we knew that anyway
I feel sorry for the ordinary people on all sides and the troops on the front line being played by people from their safe bukers.
