Fantastic article by WaPo about the months, weeks and days leading up to the invasion and just how deep US intelligence runs within the Kremlin itself. The amount of moles and spies US intelligence has imbedded in the Russian government is staggering.
Nobody can ever argue that it's not fair to never trust the Russians ever again. Off ramp after off ramp were given, and none taken. Negotiations from months ago were NEVER done in good faith. A system of lies that never stops. They were ####-bags from the start and it continues to this day.
The day the Russian army and (hopefully) administration is dismantled and disabled will be a glorious day for the world as a whole.
