> yet another strong indication that the invasion was a deliberate Russian aggression planned well in advance.
Are there people out there who have doubts about this? Regardless of any opinions on the rationale behind it, it's very clearly something that was planned in advance. I didn't think that was something that was up for debate.
How could you not plan an invasion in advance? This is easily at least a year of planning just on the entirely practical side of things like how to get enough units and hardware there.
I dont know whether they believe it but I'm fairly sure I've seen people on HN claim that something or other that President Biden did a day or two before the invasion forced Russia to act.
