Consider you may be spending too much time reading West-aligned news sources.

I haven't found much utility in reading Russian-language sources, though I can read the language.

Unfortunately I'm not extrapolating, this fits within a very mature pattern. See 'Little Green Men' in lead-up to Ukraine invasion and the drones violating airspace that Poland has been shooting down.

Show any weakness, any concession, any compromise, blink and you get invaded. Its not complicated. They communicate it pretty blatantly internally. And once you are invaded, they do a settlement and education program to have a reason for interventions. The chamberlains of europe and the us, talking to themselves about peace, are inviting them.

because everything that Russia-aligned news sources say about the war in Ukraine makes a grand and indivisible amount of sense.

Nowhere in my comment do I say that.
