    Before downvoting, consider that this is perhaps a reasonable explanation of the "indignation quotient" from the PoV of the invaders. It starts out saying why Americans on the whole weren't all that negative re. Iraq War at the start, then it veered towards unpopularity. And why there is support in Russia (not totally convinced myself that the support is all that solid, even before September) now, but that this answer does not expect that support to last. Like it or not, there isn't that much indignation in Russia right now, and this a possible answer as to why. Commented Dec 3, 2022 at 23:25
  • @ItalianPhilosophers4Monica Yes, that is exactly the idea I was trying to convey. On public support for the war among the Russians, I have updated my post with more reference and included my thoughts on the limitations of propaganda during war times that is relevant to the question.
