Going back to the Vietnam & Korean Wars..
You know, lots of American "volunteers" showing up with all their weapons and command structure and sewing on a Ukraine patch.
Gosh, the 82 Airborne all just volunteered all at once! We tried to stop them! etc
Russian pilots in Vietnam, entire Chinese Divisions crossing into N Korea to "volunteer" and we weren't at war with them were we?

I feel pretty confident that all the things like you said and more are happening right now. IMO.

(7,011 posts)we've been preparing for several Putin scenarios. As soon as he started moving troops and equipment, we probably sent in some reconnaissance if they weren't already there.
We aided by anticipating the possible advances and reacted with real-time targeting. I think Putin tried to rope us in with his build up, but he was the one roped in. He was spread thin and unprepared.
His military is used to fighting poor farmers using walkie talkies and long rifles. The Russian army's ensuing brutality is revenge for having been exposed as corrupt and incompetent.
