US Intel Shows Russia Gave Order to Invade Ukraine

The US has picked up intelligence showing Russian President Vladimir Putin has given military officials the order to invade Ukraine.

Two people familiar with the intel spoke with NBC News:

On Sunday, Biden convened a rare weekend meeting of the National Security Council focused on Ukraine, the White House said. Austin and Blinken, both newly back from Europe, were spotted entering the West Wing shortly before noon. A White House official said Harris would participate in the meeting remotely from Air Force Two while she flies back from Germany.

The intelligence, which was developed very recently, informed President Joe Biden’s startling declaration on Friday that the U.S. believes President Vladimir Putin has already decided to invade, the individuals said.

The U.S. then witnessed Russian military units taking steps to carry out the order in preparation for an invasion, further bolstering the assessment that Putin could strike at any time, they added.

“As of this moment, I’m convinced he’s made the decision. We have reason to believe that,” Biden said at the White House Friday. Asked how the U.S. knew, the president said only: “We have a significant intelligence capability.”

Biden’s assertion had marked a shift after weeks of saying the U.S. believed Putin hadn’t made a final decision.

Intel said they were going to invade, this past Wed, @ 3: AM or 3:30, intel also said Weapons of Mass Destruction were in Iraq, Our intel not to intelligent. Putin so far is playing the West. Only Putin knows when he plans to invade, or if he intends to invade.

Putin not playing, he’s invading, period. How easy it is to see just like Bush needed to justify war, Biden needs to distract us from the true complacency and cowardice of not defending our allies. At least Bush acted and rightly followed through. Biden plans to throw a couple thousand American lives at a fake effort of defense too btw.

I wouldn’t believe anything the Lame Brain Drive By Meadua has to report! Everything about this seems like a false black ops to deflect from “ Go Brandon’s” weak position on his foreign policy. If we really wanted to stop this invasion of Russian Troops would be to stop the Russian Pipeline from Russia into Germany. As it stands now their oil flows through Ukraine which could be the whole problem right now this invasion has not happened so far! But once that pipeline is completed all bets are off the table for invasion into Ukraine 🇺🇦…
Which begs the question, why would the President Bitme Administration lift the embargo to appease the Russians? Could it be Bitme got his cut from his son, Hunter with all the shady dealings going on with the Bitme Crime Family!

Biden gets elected and missiles start dropping on Israel, the Taliban start taking cities and towns, the Iranians and NK crank up their nuclear programs, China infringes Taiwan’s territory and Russia surrounds Ukraine with an army. I wonder where all of the Democratic Party’s dark money came from.

Yaadda, Yadda, Yadda. It’s from ABC and the White House and Austin and Blinken, some of the most factual sources on the face of the earth!!!

I for one, would not buy stock based on anything they say!!!

If Putin, the Commander In Chief, gave his Generals and Colonels an order to invade and they did not follow that order then they would have been killed or replaced, so I doubt this story has any merit.

Frankly, the average citizen in the U.S. can no longer have any faith in anything “intelligence” agencies tell him. They trashed their credibility years ago.
