Go back 20+ years and you see the type of ignorant view from Paraneuse hence I had to give a TU for stupidity viz a viz China.

If you believe the recent msm delayed opinion pieces that US/EU were preparing for this current confrontation as far back as 2014, you will now understand RF was not passively letting the fate of inactivity rule. The ones stunned is in fact NATO members because they arrogantly thought weaponising USD/Swift and sanctions suffice. They key in this instance is of course China and India. India is hedging their bets on both camps, China is aligned with RF sharing the same adversary.

The Turkey deal complicate things for RF. It would appear NATO continues to try and call Putin's bluff. An act of desperation or ingenuity, we wi find out. As for the Fins and Swedes, they will literally have to eat their Nobel prizes for human rights and all those warm fuzzy democratic institutions and hand over the 33 individuals demanded by Ankara to a quick or tortured deaths.
