We'd been primed for it, really, what with all the anti-Russia sentiment flying around post-2016. Not that that's a comment on the war itself, just that the west was already very fired up over Russia as global villain.

here, it might also be a reaction to four years of trump kowtowing to Putin and shitting on NATO: once he was out, they needed to send a message, prove they weren't going to roll over. a convenient excuse to further isolate and fuck with Russia. US military probably also loved the opportunity to see what Russia's military is capable of, and now they have a pretty good picture.
heard an interesting bit today about China: someone saying for all their military bluster, China don't have any military commanders or troops who have actual experience fighting in a war.

Remember that brief period where every other public demonstration semmed to feature people in Joker make-up?

Not sure I remember that, but I do remember the V For Vendetta masks. Possibly a similar sort of crowd?
People in France and Beirut were doing it, even saw a pic of someone painted as Joker with a V mask over the top, also someone who'd painted their V mask up like Joker.
