different. remember the significant military buildup a few months ago, an immediate run-up for the first biden/putin summit. it seemed to de-escalate tensions. there was a sense that biden wanted to come out with establishing, if not better a more predictable relationship with russia. that has not happened. thises in military buildup, i'm hearing a much enhanced sense of alarm, in that military action is in fact possible. vladimir putin is known over his two decades in pow foremaking late decisions, but wanting to have the options to do things. remember, as unthinkable as it seems, vladimir putin has shown a willingness to take military action in what he considers to be a sphere of influence.
