Ah yes, the secret to every successful invasion...let them know when you're coming, ffs!
I wasn't buying the 'media stoking a war' narrative, but I am now.
Russia is playing hardball, that's what it does. But there's a fine balance between appeasement, cowardice, pride and defending your own position and friends.. the media is doing nothing to help and everything to destabilise.
They've gotten so used to setting the agenda of events - rather than reporting on them - that I am unbelievably (for me) actually getting to the point where I think they need to be independently controlled.
