LOLwut ? Where did I say that ?
It's not the kiddy fiddler's minions that are saying Russia is planning something, it's been Finland, Sweden, Norway, Estonia, Poland etc...pretty much half of NATO has made press-releases referencing various intelligence reports over the last 6 months that they're expecting something. (links below)
Belarus is in the middle of doing pretty much exactly the same thing it did before the Ukrainian invasion - setting up a staging area with a rail line siding for unloading a 60 car train, right over near the border https://united24media.com/war-in-ukraine/belarus-builds-rail-linked-military-training-ground-near-ukraine-for-mass-equipment-deployment-21964
Even a stopped clock can be right once a day, but we don't know whether Ratcliffe went to Moscow to discourage Putin, or to give him the go-ahead that the US will stay out - both options are possible

Look at the instance, that guy is a tankie. Or Russian agent. Or a troll, i guess, but there isn't much difference.
For sure, lemmy.ml is full of tankies and Russian apologists, but call me quixotic but I'm not inclined to let their arse- backwards logic stand unchallenged.
