I'm confused just as you. Those guys could be completely wrong but their hypothesis makes sense.
The bad thing (for me at least) is that Russia is playing along and winning a lot in a diplomatic sense. The big EU nations are ready to make tons of concessions while it looks like Russia didn't plan an invasion but US media and government used a possible Ukrainian war only as a political tool. Honestly this Biden administration looks like the most retarded thing ever.
I can honestly say it is the most retarded thing ever, because Biden is basically a retard at this point. Actually, Biden should be very thankful to Russia and Putin, because without them Trump would have a second term. The major news stories before the last election surrounded Trump's ties with Russia, which absolutely affected the outcome of the election. Now Biden's handlers can draw upon Russia once again to divert attention away from their own miserable failures.
The problem might not be that Putin wants to invade. But the problem could be it only takes one bomb going off somewhere, one false flag attack by one faction on another faction, or whatever to kick things off since everyone is on a state of readiness. Sort of like the film
Sum of All Fears.

Seems more opinion based than fact based. By the way, not saying they are wrong or right, I have no idea either.
Some of it is opinion, but the dude is actually in Ukraine, and actually just returned to Kharkiv. So he's putting his money where his mouth is.
