I've gone back and edited my original comment on here. I concede you are right. The Russian security establishment and Putin have decided they must eliminate the Ukranian government to secure their western flank.

They sure have moved fast...

Thanks for conceding to data, I didn't expect to be proven right so quickly... They've really gone full-out on this one. I don't know how they're going to hold up to the international scrutiny this will bring. If they had just limited it to the Donbas regions that'd be one thing, but taking a whole country like this is quite an overreach, especially when over half the country doesn't want to be ruled by Russia.

I'm hoping this is a ploy, and they'll walk it back to just the Donbas region, but it seems very very likely at this point that they're just actually going for Ukraine as a whole.
