Either theyāre looking over a much longer timescale than they let on, or an altogether different agenda is being pursued.

Battle lines are being drawn.

I found it interesting that @pap mentioned something very similar back when the Russians first went into Ukraine, about NATO expansion onto the Soviet border and how the west would never stand still for it if the roles were reversed.
Not sure what I should be saying tbh.
This is more interesting, about our āfriendsā across the pod:
