"up until the moment Russia invaded, there were armchair "experts on Russia" and "experts on Putin" saying it was a bluff and guaranteeing there would be no invasion" It wasn't just "armchair experts"... it was the Ukranian and Russian governments themselves saying that any reports that Russia was going to invade was just propaganda. Many Ukranians believed them, with surveys showing that most Ukranians didn't expect an invasion.. and the Ukranian government was saying it was "ready". Well, we now see how much those words were worth. Many of those Ukranians who believed there wasn't going to be an invasion have either now fled their homes, are desperately trying to, are dead, or soon will be as bombs, famine and disease overtake their besieged cities.
