you are largely talking about pundits on tv stating russia will not attack. While basically everyone else remotely connected to the topic were convinced russia is prepig for a war. You dont build fobs supply dumps and move massive amounts of equipment to 'scare' neighbour. That being said, russia's 3day operation has probably a lot of dictators and would be conquerors thinking. A modern war is not that easy and can quickly lead to a massive resource drain. Russia attack a weaker neighbour from 3 directions. It had technological, logistical, economical, manpower and first strike advantage. And yet here we are. That is definitely something even delusional dictator will consider.
