Russia Withdraws Some Troops From Ukraine Border After Media Said Invasion Was Imminent

By Paul Joseph Watson of SummitNews.com

Shortly after media reports suggested a Russian invasion of Ukraine was imminent, Moscow announced that it was withdrawing troops from the border and then claimed “western propaganda” had failed.

Goaded by the Biden administration, major news outlets like the Sun reported that the invasion was set for tomorrow, with a “massive missile blitz” planned, along with 200,000 troops at the ready.

But within hours, it appeared the media had jumped the gun.

Major General Igor Konashenkov announced that all Russian troops would begin to be withdrawn from the border region.

“As the forces complete their military exercises, they will, as always, complete a multimodal march back to their permanent bases,” Konashenkov stated. “The divisions of the South and West Military Districts have finished their tasks and have already begun loading the rail and automobile transport, and today will begin moving back to their military garrisons.”

Russia also released video clips showing armor being loaded onto railway carriages on its way back home.

Kremlin officials seized upon the troop withdrawal as proof of a propaganda victory against the United States and NATO.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, “15 February 2022 will go down in history as the day Western war propaganda failed,” she wrote, adding that the west has been “shamed and destroyed without firing a single shot.”

The White House’s national security advisor Jake Sullivan had breathlessly told CNN on Sunday that intelligence suggested “major military action” could “begin any day now.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had also declared that February 16th, the day the Biden administration claimed Russia was planning to invade, would be a national “day of unity.”

“On this day, we will fly our national flags, put on blue-and-yellow ribbons and show our unity to the entire world,” said Zelensky.

The comments were subsequently picked up by US media outlets and reported without an ounce of skepticism, prompting a stock market sell off and a rush on gold and crude oil.

Zelensky was then forced to back pedal and claim his comments were said “with irony.”

I hope Putin is just toying around with the US press and government. Just think of the enjoyment he must be getting from military drills and entertainment of a collapsing empire.

We don’t want a war, but one errant missile hitting Langley would be fine.

Suppose, as the Russians said, this was a major training exercise, even if it was set up for Sloppy Joe, Putin wins again. The entire executive branch of our Government has been freaking out over this, how many millions of dollars have we spent, thousands of man hours, troops preparing to move, on the edge of war and at the acme of all this, Putin pulls his troops back.. Who’s laughing at who?

Again, Putin proves he is a master chess player and exposes the reactionary idiocy of a dying empire run by idiots flailing WAY above their pay scale.
What happened to Stucky’s post about war breaking out tomorrow afternoon?

Whaaaaaat??? No invasion tomorrow??!!

Yesterday I made a brief comment that Putin bought the New Parker Bros. game called “Let’s Fuck With America”. Hahahaha, I said that’s exactly what he’s doing. And, today, — what a glorious day to expose Americas love for war —– Vlad proved me right and exposed the countless cocksucking war whores in politics and media.

And the media war whores are EVERYWHERE. Virtually every commenter on Fux News, with the sole exception of Tucker, is on the anti-Russia anti-Putin train. All of them bringing on their shows washed up Generals and other dipshit “experts” with a total IQ of about 15, each and every one yesterday pontificating THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING!!!

The same is true for Newsmax, including Stinchfield and Greg Kelly, who I normally like. Except Newsmax doesn’t have even one Tucker Carlson type. Even generally conservative newspapers like the NY Post is all-in on the Russian invasion thingy.

Putin is making our politicians and entire government look like Total Dumb Fuck Chimps. Go Vlad!!!!!!!

Russia was conducting an exercise and did say troops would be moved from the Ukraine border when it was complete. Steam rolling Ukraine would be trivial without a huge troop buildup, but Russia has no interest in taking Ukraine, but they probably will be forced to absorb Donbas, because it is almost exclusively ethnic Russians speaking Russian that want to be saved from the insanity of Ukraine Jew leadership.

‘West has been destroyed without a shot fired’

The Russian Foreign Ministry has announced February 15 as “the day Western propaganda failed”

With Russia announcing that its troops are pulling back following the completion of exercises near the border with Ukraine, Moscow has insisted that predictions it could be just moments away from ordering a full-blown invasion have been proven false.

In a fiery statement on Tuesday, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova poured scorn on weeks of reports and claims from US and European officials that Moscow’s armed forces could be just hours away from launching a strike against its neighbor.

“15 February 2022 will go down in history as the day Western war propaganda failed,” she wrote. According to her, the West has been “shamed and destroyed without firing a single shot.”

At the same time, Moscow’s Ministry of Defense announced that a number of Russian troops had finished their training exercises in Belarus, close to the Ukrainian border, and will begin the process of withdrawing.

Zakharova’s comments come after American business outlet Bloomberg reported on Saturday, citing unnamed officials, that an offensive against Ukraine could take place as early as Tuesday. The agency reported that a possible attack might include a provocation in the Donbass region or against Kiev.

The White House’s national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, told CNN over the weekend that “sources” and “gathered intelligence” suggested “major military action” could “begin any day now.” He said that this included the coming week before the end of the Olympic games.

Tensions on the shared border have escalated in recent months, with Western officials raising the alarm that Moscow’s troops could soon stage an invasion. The Kremlin has repeatedly insisted that it has no aggressive intentions and has accused English-language outlets of whipping up mass “hysteria.”

Amid fears of a potential incursion, Moscow has sought security guarantees that would limit the expansion of NATO closer to its borders and block Ukraine from joining its ranks. However, the bloc’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said that Russia has “no veto” on Kiev’s ambitions to secure membership.

On Monday, Russia’s top diplomat, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, said that his side had been disappointed by the response from NATO and the US, but there were still hopes of reaching a diplomatic solution. Speaking shortly after Zakharova on Tuesday, he claimed that Western reports of an imminent invasion amounted to “information terrorism.”
