Hello John and Doves,
Putin met with Xi Friday at the start of the Winter Olympics...in a "show of solidarity and shared grievance calibrated to challenge the U.S.-led world order amid a tense diplomatic standoff on Ukraine. Their sweeping joint statement to mark the occasion was a unified blast at the United States...President Biden's absence from the spectacle - having ordered a diplomatic boycott in protest of Beijing's human rights abuses - underscrored the not-so-subtle subtext of Friday's Olympic event: the renewed division of the world..into two camps, China and Russia versus the United States and its allies.""Xi, who has not met another foreign leader in person in almost two years, said China and Russia "firmly support each other in safeguarding their core interest,"...The Winter Olympics started on February 4 and end on February 20, 2022.Here are a couple of youtube channels for news in Eastern Europe:Paul of Off Grid Desert Farming is doing a very good job of covering the Russia/Ukraine/NATO/US front at: (you can fast forward through the video to catch the headlines)run time 1:09:55He covers a lot of articles from many different sources.Canadian prepper has good info on his site.

And Russia is planning a nuclear exercise mid-February as a warning to NATO and the U.S. NATO is warning that Russia is massing nuclear-capable missiles in Belarus.
Russia will be able to overrun Ukraine in two days, warns US intelligence | Daily Mail OnlineGeneral Milley "told lawmakers Kiev could fall in 72 hours at a cost of 4,000 Russian troop deaths and 15,000 Ukrainian troop deaths, multiple congressional sources say." (I would guess these numbers are VERY conservative.)

Mark Milley told lawmakers Kiev could fall within 72 hours, at a cost of 4,000 Russian troop deaths and 15,000 Ukrainian troop deaths, multiple congressional sources say." / Twitter"Russia has assembled at least 70 percent of the military firepower it likely intends to have in place by mid-month to give President Vladimir Putin the option of launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, U.S. officials say."
Officials: Russia at 70 percent of Ukraine military... | Daily Mail OnlineThere could be 50,000 civilian deaths and 5 million refugees.
(1) John Hudson on Twitter: "NEW: An updated US intelligence assessment on Ukraine is ominous: US believes Russia is accelerating preparations for an invasion that could result in 50k civilian deaths, 5 million refugees and the fall of Kyiv in 2 days, sources tell @washingtonpost 1/ https://t.co/m5zGm5Z4jN" / TwitterThe U.S. officials say "other destabilizing Russian actions in Ukraine could begin any time, including the destruction of bridges and the targeting of political leaders." And the US intelligence assessment on Ukraine is ominous." "As of Friday, there were 83 Russian battalion tactical groups, with about 750 troops each, arrayed for a possible assault, according to the assessment. That is up from 60 two weeks ago and comprises about 70% of what Russia would need for full-scale invasion."

Last week I reported on 6 amphibious Russian landing ships - well, these showed up at the Russian base in Syria - they are supposedly headed to the Black Sea soon. (If they stay and unload in Syria this would be bad.)Mid-February would put us at the end of Winter Olympics. Maybe Xi/CCP plan on releasing a more deadly virus at the end of the Olympics. General McInerney discussed this in a recent interview (mentioned in Doves letter last week). Xi could finish his Olympics and finish preps for attacking Taiwan and Putin can finish getting his military in place.At this Olympics meeting, Xi and Putin firmed up their alliance to take on the U.S./allies. America is their common foe.Guess the world doesn't have enough to deal with.....it's called judgment.All for God's glory!Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!Maranatha!Chance
