Pentagon Postpones Russian Invasion Of Ukraine To Feb 20th From Feb 16th (Despite Full Moon - NOT KIDDING!)

 Some speculated that tonight’s (16th Feb) full moon might be a hint, allowing invading ground forces better visibility at night.

• The prospect of a Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 16 was always overhyped. 
• The time frame to really keep an eye on is what happens shortly after Feb. 20.

The Feb. 16 focus was understandable: Media reports, including here in NatSec Daily, noted how President JOE BIDEN told Western leaders about intelligence assessing that Russia might launch its invasion then (on Feb 16th). 

Importantly, though, top Biden aides never said publicly that Feb. 16 was the certain invasion day — only that Russian President VLADIMIR PUTIN’s troop buildup meant an attack could come “at any time” and possibly before the Olympics wrap up.

European officials, meanwhile, downplayed the notion of an assault on Feb. 16. 

“We didn’t see a definitive plan with that timing,” a senior European official told us recently. Some speculated that tonight’s full moon might be a hint, allowing invading ground forces better visibility at night.

 

My Comments : This fakery over the Ukraine crisis is now going beyond ridiculous. 

The Pentagon had earlier said (now denying it of course) that Russia would invade Ukraine on the 16th of February. Well Feb 16th was yesterday. No invasion happened.

Among the reasons "their media" gives for the Pentagon's booboo is that 16th Feb, 2022 was a full moon and the Russians could see better in the night. 

So that is why they thought Russia would invade Ukraine on the 16th February 2022. It was a full moon night.

 Aauuuuuwwwwww!!

 

Now they are saying that Russia will invade Ukraine on 20th February, 2022 which is three days away.

But it will not be a full moon any more !!  If the Russian Army cannot see in the dark does it mean they will have to invade Ukraine in the daytime? You cannot travel to the sun in the daytime - it is too hot. It will be a lot cooler at night. 

Meanwhile Russia has withdrawn some of its troops who were engaged in military exercises in the Crimea:

"The Russian Defence Ministry Wednesday (16th Feb, 2022) published a video showing troops withdrawing from Crimea. This came a day after President Vladimir Putin said Russia had decided “to partially pull back troops” from the borders of Ukraine, and the Russian Defence Ministry announced that some forces from military districts were being sent back."

Maybe the Russians were taking advantage of the full moon. To see where they were headed.
