  I live in Europe, as many others here. Having 190 k soldiers in Europe officially occupying/attacking a country in Europe the coming days might very well be a topic for HN.

    So do I and I don't want war but the online "Hetzerei" for war is bad for our mentality and it doesn't belong here. Some people don't want to read this crap if they don't seek it out. Additionally you state 190k troops, where is this from? (Edit: seems to be from this article but again from some unknown intelligence source 20 hours ago, Biden gave a Press Conference less than that and stated 150k, so which is it?). Biden just stated 150k troops. As long as there is no war unlike what the Americans keep saying it doesn't mater how many troops. There were 100k troops there in 2019, no one cared. An invasion of Kiev would be absolute suicide (Economically and Strategically) for Russia and is extremely unlikely no matter how much the US/UK keeps saying it will happen. The conflicts in the border region will continue as they have for a long time and this is what the UN and the rest of the world should (and are) focus on stopping. Even an incursion of Russian troops into the east region is unlikely because it would result in a grueling guerilla war plus they already have separatists in there fighting that war against the nationalist Ukrainians. This WW3 scenario the US/UK and Media keep pushing is not going to happen. If they hack someone or there is something to do with business it is a topic. Otherwise it belongs on Reddit with all the others cries of wolf.

      190k was the updated estimate according to the US administration. I agree with a lot of points, but not that an invasion is unlikely and i don't think a ww3 naritive is being pushed. That it will destroy Russia's economy and will leave them open for China to take, is my best guess.
