It has now been over three weeks since the Biden Administration started warning that a Russian invasion of Ukraine was “imminent,” which raises fresh questions about the definition of the word “imminent.” Because if I tell you something is going to happen imminently, and then a month passes and nothing happens, I’d have thought my projection of “imminence” would be rendered incorrect. And I should, I don’t know, account for that in some way — maybe even apologize? But that’s not how the US Government operates in the realm of foreign policy, least of all for anything to do with Russia.
