Putin is using his divisions on the Ukraine border as chess pieces. They keep Biden and the Ukraine guessing. He is getting the measure of Biden and our NATO allies while he plans his moves to expand Russian borders to that of the old Soviet Union, he could be using this as part of a grand deception. Right now there are a number of Russian Divisions doing military exercises in Belarus. It is Russian military doctrine to use exercises as camouflage for the real deal. In this case his true target maybe Belarus. If he annexes Belarus, which is horribly governed by an incompetent dictator he may get a free pass from Biden and NATO which are dealing with refugees streaming out of Belarus. He could accomplish a major expansion of Russia, while he sets his next target on rich, remote, and thinly populated Kazakhstan. This would get him far more than picking a fight with NATO and send a warning to the US about admitting Ukraine to NATO. Meanwhile NATO / Poland should annex the Russian enclave around Konigsberg/Kaliningrad as a lesson to Russia not to expand any further westward. Likewise we could o the same by annexing Moldova and add it to NATO ally Romania.

Hi there thanks much for that input to our camp. Scary stuff. What is just as scary to me is what is going on in America. It has blown me away as a conservative Republican my whole life. Don't want to ever do it but Tucker Carlson going to Hungary, broadcasting there for a week, and interviewing/saluting its dictator, said it all in terms of the Trump thing. It is a horror show, IMO. Just my two cents, Bill PS Appreciate your input and thoughts.

I agree. Much scary stuff is going on at home. Both the right and left are pulling America apart. Nixon's silent majority needs to stand up and stand for the real America.

Russia / Putin is now well along with its quiet annexation of Belarus. Putin announced that some 100,000 Russian troops will now be permanently stationed in Belarus (a supposedly independent county). If he uses Belarus troops to attack Ukraine like many are waiting for, then expect Russian troops to backfill them and quickly suppress any Belarus resistance. Putin will have a free hand in annexing Belarus like he did with the Crimea. Russian propaganda does not want the world to remember that Ukraine was part of the Kingdom of Poland for centuries. Likewise that Soviet insistence granted Ukraine an independent seat at the United Nations since its the UN was formed. They argued that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was just that, a union of independent republics and the Ukraine was a major independent republic. Now they insist it was always part of Russia.

Other commentators, particularly those very knowledgeable about Belarus, have also noticed Putin's moves there. He has only to announce the final result of his annexation ploy to make it official.

Dan Joubert's article today (4-10-22)about Putin was refreshing. Finally not everyone writing on LeMetropole Cafe seems completely brainwashed by the overwhelming Western media bias against Russia. As the petrodollar dies, courtesy of US-UK-EU hubris, the precious metals will finally be set free through unrigged Eurasian markets. Thanks, Dan!
