There is no doubt whatsoever that Russia is prone to making trouble on the world’s stage, and their latest military machinations have the United States taking serious action.
Russia has long held very little regard for the sovereignty of nations that once belonged to the Soviet Union, with Vladimir Putin having made a number of undeniable maneuvers aimed at annexing portions of the once-mighty nation. His latest comes to us from Ukraine, and is so severe that the US is sending one of its top intelligence officials to Moscow to discuss.
President Joe Biden dispatched CIA Director Bill Burns to Moscow earlier this week to warn the Kremlin that the US is watching its buildup of troops near Ukraine’s border closely, and to attempt to determine what is motivating Russia’s actions.
The rare trip by Burns to Russia, where he held talks with senior Kremlin security officials directly involved in the military activity, came as the US has grown increasingly concerned by Russia’s irregular movement of troops and equipment near Ukraine’s northern border, according to multiple US and Ukrainian sources briefed on the meeting.
The Biden administration has ramped up its efforts in recent days to de-escalate growing tensions between Moscow and Kiev. Following his meetings in Russia, Burns spoke to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky by phone in an attempt to diffuse those tensions, the sources told CNN. A senior State Department official was also dispatched to Kiev on Thursday to support those efforts.
The seriousness of the situation has become rather apparent.
“The buildup, coupled with the energy blackmail, does suggest a more aggressive Russian posture,” an adviser to Zelensky told CNN.
Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said on Friday that the “scale” and “the size of the units that we’re seeing” from Russia is “unusual.”
Within the Biden administration, there are a number of disparate theories as to Russia’s intentions, with some fearing an outright invasion could be on the horizon, while others believe that this is simply a bit of Putin’s signature intimidation.

Ineptocracy
A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
