…exactly what they said? They were saying they are not going to invade as late as February 20, 2022. Then they said their objectives are total conquest on February 24, 2022 in a public TV address. They threatened nukes (everyone from Putin himself to TV pundits) for months until Xi publicly chided him.

But I am impressed how one can take perhaps the most morally unambiguous conflict in the century so far and still make it an uncertainty.

Was there something ambiguous about destroying the most prosperous African nation?
