Or it could be that Europe and USA are not exactly too well synchronised, and Europe has gotten thrown off because of apparently unexpected hit to quality of life. Also USA citizens are doomed due to their education and media literacy levels being bottom levels of earth, and their own society is degrading too fast.
It could be that both USA and Europe have their hands full of their own problems, and this Ukraine circus is simply too much overhead for them, crushing them under their own weight.
What redtea and you say do have a point with the bluff, but something gives me it is not the bluff this time, but them simply getting worn off really fast… the 2025 cutoff for China war seems to forecast the same idea.
In Debray (Revolution in the Revolution? Armed Struggle and Political Struggle in Latin America), there’s a hint that it’s not necessarily a bluff (although that is a factor); it’s also that revolutionaries get their hopes up too soon when they hear that their actions are working, which leads them to slow down, etc, which gives away the advantage. I realise I didn’t quite say this in my first comment; I’m only seeing the subtlety after your and Yogthos’ criticisms.
