    I can see it. It's basically a "what are they doing, this is stupid" statement, which I hear all the time from people telling me about someone they're working with.

      I can believe he said it, it's just that thing where there are two realities I guess

          yeah. either they really thought they'd yell "Russia will invade" for weeks, and then Russia would just sit back and get destroyed by sanctions* while allowing a massive pogrom against Donbas, or he's lying

          *(most of which went into effect on the 22nd in response to recognition of DPR and LPR, not the invasion, and were planned at least six months before that)
