It's nice to be wrong in good company!

On your question, all indications are that they are alarmed -- and well they should be. That, though, is the subject of a separate piece of writing.

This is an insane scale of invasion that was clearly doomed to failure to anyone who had a grasp of the facts/reality. It seems that Putin bought his own BS, though. And millions will suffer because of that.
