Some say Biden's got Putin rattled.
Antony Blinken gave a detailed breakdown of the US's intelligence to the United Nations. These included the misleading troop withdrawals, false pretexts for war and the means of potential attacks - tanks, troops, missiles and cyber attacks. This level of detail was acknowledged by Blinken as necessary in order to overcome the legacy of the Bush administration's invasion of Iraq.
By setting out how an invasion might occur this, it makes it harder for Russia to claim an invasion is legitimate if they follow the playbook Blinken describes, which is a small deterrent in itself.
