The media response is predictable and surreal. The popular response has been equally predictable and surreal.
We saw this coming when the Biden Administration started to warn of an immanent Russian invasion as the COVID narrative started to unravel. True to form, the democrats recognized that there is nothing better to unify a divided people than to identify a common enemy. We now have that with Putin and Russia.
The people who fell for the COVID narrative are now falling for the Ukraine narrative. Some are even changing sides.
It reminds me too much of the build-up to the Iraq War. WMDs, Iraqi complicity in the 9/11 attack, the need for a global war on terror, the vast majority of Americans infected with blood lust and salivating at the prospect of war.
I see this as much more complex than the Manichaean conflict that the media is portraying it to be. Your description of the role players is spot on.
