If Europe entered open war with Russia, expanded wartime sedition rules (as used in both World Wars) could easily cover huge volumes of today’s online posts and political statements, especially those questioning the threat, opposing aid, calling for negotiations, or amplifying narratives that demoralise public resolve. Historically, such speech was treated as undermining the war effort even without direct material aid to the enemy. Modern free-speech protections are far stronger, but they have been narrowed before in major conflicts.
There are millions of bots, but there are also thousands of enablers.
Russia really shouldn't want to wake Europe up. Their hubris has made them believe their own narrative. If Ukraine is an abcess, Russia is the diseased limb and there's only one solution when it's so gangrenous.

As they say in Russia, appetite grows while eating.
Russia’s top negotiator Medinsky says in Abu Dhabi that Moscow’s demands extend to all of Europe, far beyond Ukraine.
“The security system in Europe works very badly. The entire organism is sick. Ukraine is just an abscess that burst. The organism must be cured as a whole, a band-aid will not be enough.”
Dr Putin to the rescue of poor sick Europe…
The more Trump seeks to mollify Putin, the more megalomaniac the Russian demands become.
