It’s interesting how US intelligence has countered Russian misinformation campaign by exactly predicting what was going to happen. For months Russia has denied they intended to invade. After finishing military preparations and the encirclement of Ukraine they suddenly changed tone in the course of a week.

Just 5 days ago Putin was claiming that their military exercises near the border were over and the Russian military was withdrawing. Putin's withdrawal seems to be going quite poorly.

“Oh guys, we got turned around and now we’re in the wrong country!”

   Вижу горы и долины, вижу реки и поля.
   Это русские картины, это родина моя.
   Вижу Прагу и Варшаву, Будапешт и Бухарест.
   Это русская держава - сколько здесь любимых мест!

   Вижу пагоды в Шри Ланке, и Корею, и Китай.
   Где бы я ни ехал в танке, всюду мой любимый край!
   Вижу речку Амазонку, крокодилов вижу я.
   Это русская сторонка, это родина моя!

   Недалече пирамиды, Нил течёт — богат водой,
   Омывает русский берег! Русь моя, горжусь тобой!
   Вижу Вашингтон в долине, Даллас вижу и Техас
   Как приятно здесь в России выпить вкусный русский квас!

   Над Сиднеем солнце всходит, утконос сопит в пруду.
   Репродуктор гимн заводит; с русским гимном в день войду!
   Вот индейцы курят трубку, и протягивают мне -
   Все на свете любят русских, на родной моей земле.

This only shows that that any sentence they say might be a lie which eliminates any reason to have meaningful discussion with them.

Now the behavior of Naryshkin is more clear. He knows they have to deal with a madman and sees no way out.

Words coming out of a man like Putin are entirely meaningless. Only his actual actions matter.

Maybe we could kickstarter some better maps for them...
