Is it happening or not

    No, but the propaganda machine's wheels are gradually turning from "invasion imminent, any day now" to "this is the invasion we warned you about". Never mind that the US was hyping this up like it was gonna be Operation Bagration II, they're hoping you forget about that.

      Yeah, exactly. Someone on Twitter said this is basically Russia doing a Kosovo and I think that comparison is apt.

        Russia is only following the precedents set in place years ago by the US and NATO: invading countries to "protect" separatist minorities and secure their independence like in Serbia and Syria; and manufacturing atrocity propaganda to justify invading other countries to "protect human rights" like in Iraq and Libya.

        You don't even have to be a Putin simp to make a very strong historical argument that three decades of triumphalist unilateralist US foreign policy has made this bed and now the world has to lie in it. But no liberal will listen to it for one second.
