Russia is going to do what they're going to do, and i think that was decided long ago. They are past negotiating, or even caring what the West thinks. Would you trust any Western government to keep their promises?
That said, it's not really even a provocation, but more a psyop. Any counter-measure will be characterized as an aggression. Even if they do nothing and the residents of Kaliningrad suffer in any way, then "tHeY dOn'T eVeN cArE aBoUt ThEiR oWn PeOpLe!"
The key question is how many Westerners will buy into the narrative. Support seems to be crumbling. Even the (Anti-)Pope now says openly that Russia was provoked into military action. Who saw that coming?
I suspect the Puppet Masters no longer care about popular support or even the pretense of it. They will keep commanding their "troops" to do their bidding. And what happens when that persists for long?
Anyone ever heard of fragging? Rumor has it that's essentially what happened to those 50 or so Ukrainian officers in a recent Kalibr missile strike.
I believe the world will be very different in the near future, but the process of birthing it is proving very painful.
