Is it possible to watch more than three days of Russian television news,

My bets are on B. You can't get a crowd like this attacking a high security site without the knowledge/collusion of the security forces.
Not in a security state like Russia.

Especially shameful is how today the US demonstrates no contrition or obligation.

The west appeased Putin once. They’ll do it again
Gift link.
Di read if you want to understand how Western Europe sold out Ukraine and how they purposefully ignored CEE.
Also why the next NATO GenSec cannot come from amongst them.

If you can't get your own country to meet a decade old obligation to spend 2% of GDP on defense, how as SecGen are you going to get the rest of NATO laggards to do so?
