The Russians invaded Ukraine. That is not a threat. It is an act of war. They have bullied the Baltic states and also invaded Georgia. They remain in illegal occupation of Ukraine's Crimea. They brutalize non-Russian nationalities trapped within the so-called Russian 'Federation' (e.g. Chechens, Karelians, Kalmyks, Crimean Tatars...etc). They are, in short, the aggressors. That is the reality of life in eastern Europe and not amount of braying on the part of Russian trolls and propagandists is convincing anyone of anything otherwise.
