... Russia should have launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine earlier ...

So Pres Putin admits that it was an invasion of a sovereign country.

"I should have Invaded Ukraine Earlier, Putin tells Russians in TV Marathon"

He is correct. Going full-bore in 2014 while they were invading Crimea, before the Ukrainians had a chance to build up their defensive capability, would have been the way to go. Not like the Western nations would have done anything about it.

Heck, even now Europe is standing around with their hands in their pockets letting Poohty Pants bring in North Koreans. Will serve them right when Russia decides to roll over them.
