Oh I see, you're taking a pedant approach then combining that with a straw man in order to completely avoid my point that OF COURSE Russia would have extensive intel and plans on Ukraine and media acting like it's unusual is stupid.

Why is quoting your own words back to you pedantic? I mean, would you like to revise your original statements to better reflect reality?

Maybe history of CIA, FBI, various invasions in history, Cold War, espionage, modern military complex background.

It's pretty telling that you can't name a single book I should be reading when you're telling me to go read a book. What did you read to get all this amazing inside info on US invasion plans?
