A third invasion of Ukraine in 2021 is also a much more dangerous gamble for Putin than the one he took in 2014-15. US President Biden has made it clear he'll offer "unwavering support" to Kiev. Washington's mindset is irrevocably hardened to the idea that Russia is a threat. And Ukrainian leader Zelensky, as politically and militarily inexperienced as he is, will doubtless benefit domestically from being dragged into a conflict he hasn't started.
Yet two enduring, unquantifiable risks remain. The first is that Putin may see, among all the chaos of the next few weeks, a moment of opportunity to strike, and simply decide to deal with the consequences later. The second is the inevitable peril of amassing angry forces on both sides of an already active front line. An unanticipated error or surge by either party could spiral into a bigger war.
If Moscow hopes its buildup means its phones start ringing more frequently, and diplomacy takes over, then it would better happen soon.

 
To those who still think that some sort of a real war between the US and Russia might happen and other ridiculous stuff.

Joe Biden is considering Matthew Rojansky as Russia director in the National Security Council. That is according to some unnamed source, so it is up to anyone to decide whether it is true or not.

Some of his opinions about Russian matters:
  • In 2017, Rojansky decried America's "Cold War style paranoia about the Russian bogeyman," acknowledging that Putin "is a huge problem for the United States" while arguing that escalation carries "unacceptable risks." He has consistently called for managing competition with Russia in a way that protects U.S. interests and minimizes risks.
  • "Russia is not going to go away," Rojansky wrote in a National Interest op-ed last year criticizing what he characterized as the overuse of sanctions. "Peaceful coexistence remains an imperative, no matter how unsavory Putin’s regime might be.

Just one more stupid Jew. He'd read few Russian books, and believe that he is "an expert".

That's wrong. There are no, and there can not be any sort of "Russia experts", "India experts" or "China experts" or even "West experts". There is no way to predict further actions of the Russians (or any other civilisation).
Therefore we have not attempt to "predict" them. There is no way to say what they will actually do. They can send few tank battalions in Donbass, or start all-out "out of blue" nuclear strike against the USA.
It's not about "wishes", its about "possibilities". That's why we need not only learn what they actually have, not only what they will have soon, but also we need to calculate all possible and some impossible scenarios. Yes, this takes much more intellectual efforts, it cost much more, than just hire "an expert", who will filter and retranslate Russian propaganda, but it worth it, because the price of the possible mistake is too high.

Well, that is not about that man, no matter how smart or stupid he is or how many Russian books he has read. That is about a signal the Biden administration sends to Moscow about possible relations.

I am almost sure that the question about 'a killer' was prearranged before the Biden's interview, as was the answer. In the same interview Biden said the US will be cooperating with Russia where there is a 'mutual' interest (that is not strictly word to word, but you got the point).

Oh, "signals" may be nice, but there are two problems about them:
1) The sides can read "signals" differently;
2) The signals and even intentions don't matter. Biden is a Chinese puppet, and act in their interests. So, he will push Russia to the China and will try to force countries of the Shanghai Pact to improve their cooperation.

Will Putin attack Ukraine again? Fighting Escalates in Eastern Ukraine, Signaling the End to Another Cease-Fire
" Ukraine and Russia issued statements on March 30 noting an escalation in fighting in a conflict that has been on low simmer for years. The Ukrainian government said four of its troops were killed in one battle. "
" As details began to emerge in late 2020 of Russia’s massive cyber-attack on the United States, there was plenty of anger and alarm but little in the way of genuine shock. ... Putin has also deployed hybrid Russian forces around the world,

unleashed teams of assassins, and attempted at least one coup in the Balkans. Russian hackers have set new standards in cyber warfare, targeting everything from political parties to essential infrastructure. ... As Churchill observed back in 1946, “there is nothing the Russians admire so much as strength, and there is nothing for which they have less respect than weakness.... Ukraine the most logical place to fight back against Russia’s hybrid war and the best opportunity to achieve a decisive victory.

whats Putin wants to achieve in Ukraine this time ? and what is the best way to repel Putin´s imperial attacks in Europe ?

Russia will not attack first. if Russia would, it wouldnt have moved forces for weeks, exposing 'his cards' to the public - but do a swift move. in my opinion..

About "no one wants a direct military conflict between two nuclear powers" it is a simplification. There is plenty of people at both sides who wants exactly this.

That shows what some part of the Russians think. And taking into account that this outlet underlined that Rojansky is a Jew, I can assume what auditory reads this media.

I prefer Kommetsant:
 
And that's how the sane intel vets understand the signals.

And? Actually, this link supports my point. No one wants a war.
Moscow is bluffing , but it´d be moscow the last colonial war

It's like clockwork: 2008: Russia invades Georgia 2014: Russia invades Ukraine 2021: Russian troops amass on the Ukraine border The U.S. and Europe, together, must make clear that our security/economic/political partnership with Ukraine is unbreakable.

New: Current & former officials say there are no geographic restrictions on the deployment of the Javelin missiles Ukraine purchased from the U.S., and argue that Kyiv would be justified in moving the weapons to the frontlines amid Russia's buildup



Can Ukraine deploy U.S.-made weapons against the Russians?
There are no geographic restrictions on the deployment of the missiles, which means Ukrainian forces can transport, distribute and use them any time.

There are no "unbreakable" things in the Nuclear Age.
