They annexed Crimea in 2014, and their war with Georgia was in 2008. How far back are we going to go over the semantics? I guess Russia has invaded both nations several times over their histories.

In this current situation, Russia was never once going to do anything other that annex Donetsk and Luhansk in the same manner as Crimea. And that is absolutely none of our business. They were never, ever going to launch a general invasion of Ukraine or a general war in Central Europe/the Balkans.

My guess is they will get Balarus to start something.

Belarus isn't capable of doing anything at all.

Putin needs a war, his popularity is dropping.

No he doesn't. All he needs is an "enemy" acting irrationally and using hysterical/inflammatory language that he can use to galvanize Russian public opinion. You know, just like every single time Russia acts out. And just like every other time, we (our media) play right into it.
