Haven't seen any of the latter type, honestly. Not headlines, at least - certainly some Very Intelligent Internet Commenters(tm) raising those fears.
Occasionally I see "Russia is threatening to invade all of Western Europe." But they threatened a lot of stuff over the years.
They also might try, which would be a problem for border countries, even if it’s unsuccessful
Poland just bought nearly 500 HIMARS. I cannot fathom the hate they would unleash on Russia the second the first tank rolled over the border.
But like, I don’t want one polish person to die, which probably would not happen if there was an invasion. Right now, Georgia and Kazakhstan would be pretty well equipped comparatively, but winning doesn’t mean not getting hurt.
There'd be an awful lot of wrecked tanks and burnt-out trucks to clean up at the border, I can see how that would be a problem.
