This provides some support to the idea that when the Ukraine in invaded by Russia, China will attack Taiwan
I remember an interview some years back where Putin stated that one thing he learned on the streets as a kid was that if there was going to be a fight, make sure to hit first.
I'm thinking sometime in May.
May 1st is international comminist day, ie mayday. It is all about how fast the ground dries.
Memorial day is the outer range, although Hitler's Operation Barbarosa was on June 22nd.
Face it Russia is going to sort out biden and the Ukraine/Crimea sometime between April 30th, to May 31st. Putin may go earlier and he may go later. The massive combat exercises on April 30th are a HUGE DOT.
All things considered, a go date of April 30th is reasonable.
NATO membership will only enrage the Russians.
Wow! Got your bomb shelter prepped?Critical month: Russians put under arms nationwide - Russian public television talks about nuclear strike - Calls reservists

For the first time since the dissolution of the USSR, Russian Defence Minister S. Shoigu put the Russian war machine on "red alert" nationwide by the end of April.
Russia is simulating a pan-European or even a world war by putting even its nuclear triad on a war alert.
On standby and the nuclear triad together the entire Russian Army until the end of April
Thus, strategic bombers carrying nuclear missiles, intercontinental nuclear missiles, submarines were ordered to be placed on nuclear alert as provided for by Russian military doctrine.
This means a first nuclear strike and the possibility of a second counter-attack nuclear strike in the event of engagement with NATO.
A total of 4,048 exercises of various levels will take place by the end of the month, including 812 bilateral exercises in 101 training centres and 520 facilities of the Russian Armed Forces.
The Russians are running scenarios of a global showdown with NATO. The exercises will be carried out by 30,000 paratroopers, i.e. the entire force that has been transferred to Crimea and the border with Ukraine
War readiness concerns the whole of Russia: All Military Regions, the Northern Fleet, the Far East, the islands of Kuriles and Kamsaka.
The strange thing about Russian military mobilization is the "nationwide level" and nuclear mobilization. Until now, such exercises have been conducted by Military Region. That is no longer the case now.
Russian public television: Nuclear strike to comply with NATO!
However, in a terrifying public report, russian public television "Russia 1" spoke of a nuclear strike. They said:
"If there is a possible escalation in Ukraine, then a nuclear strike is on the agenda. This will make Americans afraid and we will do whatever we want."
Ukraine calls reservists
Ukraine just now officially started calling reservists.
According to information from Kiev, about 100,000 reservists are on the recruitment lists in a total of 25 territorial defence brigades belonging to the Ukrainian Defence Ministry.
Ukrainian Military Espionage reported what WarNews247 has revealed for days: that Russia is transferring forces from all its Military Regions, Central, Western and Eastern.
At the same time, the Ukrainian president revealed that 28 Ukrainians have been killed since July, 10 in the last days and 3 in the last 24 hours!
It has become known that one Ukrainian soldier was killed by mortar and the second by a mine.
The Americans are now worried.
Americans have been worried for 48 hours, and they're showing it.
"We will continue to observe russian forces gathering next to the border with Ukraine, especially in Crimea and in the southeast.
The Russians' intention is not clear to us; this is something to worry about," the Pentagon spokesman said.
Talks with the Minsk Group are over
The Ukrainian delegation participating in the Tripartite Contact Group shall withdraw.
The group will no longer participate and will no longer travel to Minsk for negotiations on a peaceful settlement of disputes in Donbass.
This was confirmed by Ukrainian Olexiy Reznikov, Deputy Prime Minister.
It's all about conflict...

I would like to send the link to others if possible rather than send the TB link.
The ministry described the drill as a "massive inspection", to check combat readiness on the territory of all military districts and the Northern Fleet, in the Far North, on the Kuril Islands and Kamchatka.
The tests began amid concern over Russian military activity in Crimea and eastern Ukraine.
Recent ceasefire violations by Russian-backed forces in Ukraine and reinforcements of regular troops on the Russian side of the border don’t mean Moscow is preparing a major advance or even seriously trying to move the line of conflict, Ukraine officials and experts said. But they do show Vladimir Putin’s continued efforts to exercise control over Kiev’s affairs and peel off its international support.
Over the last several weeks, unverified social media posts show Russian heavy equipment moving closer to the Ukranian border, including howitzers, advanced anti-aircraft missiles and radar, and even an advanced air assault division The moves prompted a Friday phone call between the U.S. President Joe Biden and Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky as well as calls between the U.S. State and Defense senior officials and their Ukranian counterparts.
The Russian government has called this mobilization part of routine exercises, an explanation that has failed to impress many observers. But that doesn’t necessarily mean a repeat of Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea.
I agree, I think that Russia would not nuke Ukraine, but use the big mortars to kick in the doorsI wouldn't think Russia would nuke Ukraine, simply because it's farming resources, but what do I know.
It's true. They are about to do something.
Great to see you againNolan Peterson

My update from Ukraine. The situation is moving in the wrong direction. I hope the world is paying attention.

Glad to be back DB!!Great to see you again
I believe you are absolutely correct.I keep thinking about what Putin was saying back in 2016, that if Clinton won the election it would be the start of WW3. Now Biden is in charge and they may be thinking its "go time". Now they are about to liberate Eastern Ukraine before NATO has a chance to get any more entrenched.
