RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:The invasion . . . Hey, I could very well be wrong. but I just don't see the gain for Putin to actually invade, just bad losses. He is too crafty to make such a egregious error. He will succeed in getting most of what he actually wants by go right up to the waters edge but not jumping in.

It is a lose, lose for him on so many levels and he understands that. Body bags sent back to Moscow will have the people turn against him. If he f**ks things up and costs money for the oligarchs, which it would, they will send him up the river to a siberian gulag. He wants to keep his power, not lose it.
No invasion, period. All click bait and distractions, smoke and mirrors. Go to where the puck is going, not where is was.

Being where the puck was headed was waiting for it after oil temporary crashed to zero btw.
