Scholz ist hoffentlicher intelligenter als dieser "Rücksitzkommentator": Deutschland ist die wirtschaftliche Zugmaschine der EU, aber dazu braucht es Zugang zu Resourcen. Gerne darf es auf NordStream-2 verzichten, wenn es sich selbst und die EU schädigen will. Im Falle eines Einmarsches kommt durch die Ukraine ganz sicher kein Gas...

Either because of North Korea, or China - or both:

Couldn't agree more, but it's a rhetorical question. NATO countries couldn't care less about their actions violating treaties they signed or what Russia thinks about it. In fact, it is specifically intended to be to the detriment of Russia:

«🇷🇺 ⚡️ 🇺🇸 THE RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY POINTED TO THE DUPLICITY OF THE WEST BECAUSE OF THE US NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN EUROPE

Instead of paying attention to the deployment of nuclear weapons on the territory of Europe by the US authorities, Western countries are talking about a "hypothetical threat" from Russia, said Vladimir Ermakov, director of the Department for Nonproliferation and Arms Control of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

"Don't our European colleagues see a threat to their security not in the hypothetical Belarusian, but in the actual deployment of American nuclear weapons on the territory of a number of NATO countries capable of hitting targets on the territory of Russia," Ermakov said. — "We categorically disagree with such duplicity of Western countries."

According to Ermakov, "joint nuclear missions" are a direct violation of the "Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons".

I've now seen military maps of the "impending Russian invasion" and how it will play out for almost all scenarios, except for when Russian attack from outer space or grow out of the ground:

«On February 3, the American pro-Trump edition of Real Clear Defense published an article "Troops to perform tasks: the Russian invasion of Ukraine", authored by Ben Connabel (Connable, Connable), a retired Marine Corps major, military expert and professor at the RAND Graduate School.

In his opinion, in order to hold the front line along the Dnieper, Russia will need 192 thousand people, but these forces are redundant, since there will be no counteroffensive from NATO. The minimum forces for perimeter protection are 24.4 thousand people.

According to his calculations, 83 thousand people are needed to control the territory of the Left Bank, but the situation will be difficult - "the mystique of little green men will probably be replaced by the reality of very noticeable fatigue. With modest, consistent efforts, NATO and the Ukrainian armed forces and special operations forces can work with resistance fighters to shackle half of the Russian ground forces for many years."» https://yangx.top/ukraina_ru/56392

The US is working from the assumption that sanctions will come no matter what - with or without invasion:

«The U.S. government had asked Japan to consider economic sanctions in preparation for a Russian military invasion over the escalating tensions in Ukraine.The U.S. government had asked Japan to consider economic sanctions in preparation for a Russian military invasion over the growing situation in Ukraine.

According to a U.S.-Japan diplomatic source, at the U.S.-Japan summit on 1/21, the U.S. side explained economic sanctions in the event of a military invasion of Ukraine, and asked Japan to align itself in the direction of imposing sanctions.

Japan has said it is pending a response.

On the other hand, adjustments are continuing to be made regarding economic sanctions, as it is believed that there are differences in temperature in European allies such as Germany, which relies on Russia's resources.»

«Simple questions.
If Russia is going to invade Ukraine and for this somewhere has a 100,000 grouping gathered, then:
1. Where is this group?
2. Why to protect against "Russian aggression", the Ukrainian army has collected a 120,000 group, but it is not focused on the areas of potential impact, but on the border with the Donbass , where according to the OSCE mission there is no Russian army there.
3. All weapons intended to resist the "aggression of Russia" end up at the border with Donbass, where (see paragraph 2) there is no Russian army.
4. In case of de-escalation of tension, where will all the weapons provided by NATO countries to Ukraine go?
5. How will the poor Balts, Poles and others who have given a significant part of their weapons to Ukraine defend themselves, both from "aggressive Russia" and from gangs of Ukrainian nationalists (it's easier for the Balts. There is no common border)
6. What happened to the cognitive function of European leaders if they do not ask themselves such simple questions and do not see the simplest solution to de-escalation. Withdraw the Armed Forces to the distances described in the first paragraphs of the Minsk Agreements.
7. Or the answer is very simple. The West has decided that right now it is necessary to mix all the cards on the table and throw Ukraine into the inferno of war through the start of a military operation in Donbass. That's just despite the European leaders realize that the whole of Europe will lose from such a war. And it is not a fact that the fighting will be limited to the territory of Ukraine, and will not spread to neighboring states.»
