It looks more and more like this is propaganda from the US—Which is rather unfortunate for my oil holdings.
In the end, just follow the money: if Russia enters into a war, the US is the only to benefit, the same way that in WW2 the US was the great beneficiary. It is always nice to incite wars far away from your country, when you're the main seller of weapons.
Suggestions otherwise are conspicuously in-step with Russian propaganda.
