This is just sabre rattling since Putin is getting old and he wants to make sure his successor fails

Amassing 127,000 troops is a lot more than saber rattling. The Russians just cut an undersea cable to a Norwegian satellite site. That's a serious provocation. They also recently shut down an uprising against the Kazakhstan dictatorial government, leaving a ton of troops and equipment staged in Kazakhstan.
The real bullshit here is Ukraine is going to get crushed, and it's our fault. We pushed to disarm Ukraine with the promise that we would defend them should the need arise. They disarmed, now we're not holding up our end of the bargain. If you ever wonder why Americans will never give up their guns, it's shit like this. Our government has a bad habit of promising safety, then ghosting when the chips are down.
