        I get your point but I don’t think Russia recreating the first acts of WWII on a NATO country can be dismissed as a ‘distraction’ from many real world events short of actual official world war 3, or Putin being arrested or something.

        There is also a strong argument that illegally invading a country is always quite a significant event, certainly to the people in that country.
