From only today and thanks to the Israeli Internet web site DEBKAfile:

"CIA intercepts Russian message to generals to invade Ukraine on Wednesday [16 February]"

"Russia is expected to begin its invasion of Ukraine on Wednesday, Feb. 16, according to a message the CIA intercepted from the high command in Moscow to the commanders of Russian forces massed on the Ukraine border, that was cited by US and European military sources on Saturday, Feb. 12."

"During the day, US President Joe Biden warned Vladimir Putin in a call lasting 62 minutes that invading Ukraine would result in 'swift and severe costs to Russia,' diminish his country’s standing and cause 'widespread human suffering.'”

THE DIE IS CAST, THE GAME IS AFOOT, RELEASE THE DOGS OF WAR?

I do indeed fear the worst and pray no confrontation between NATO and Russian forces. Could result in catastrophe.

The noted blogger Spengler rates the DEBKAfile as totally reliable under all circumstances. Sixty-two minutes to doom? We shall see.
