Wikipedia has already altered its map of Ukraine, denoting the areas Putin moved into as in dispute.

'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
Assuming you want the actual facts:
First it was Russians (or possibly Russian-aligned forces) launching it using Russian-provided material:
As for the facts:
It was allegedly cloudy so it's not obvious that you can see much - especially not actual unit insignia.
Russia were asked about such images, but they claim that they don't have the images of that area at that time anymore (they had previously published images from another day). You know "dog ate it"...
The US doesn't say that they have images showing who launched it, but only that they have detected where it was launched from- using missile launch detection systems. The Dutch prosecutors verified that it was consistent with what the US reported - clearly a missile launch detection system is classified.

Its not "out there" its basically wet dreams at this point. Turkey will never close Bosphorus to Russia unless they're threatened directly. They'll tell NATO to go fuck themselves.
The rest of that drivel is barely worth responding to, but lets just say that Russia has the means and the will to tank western infrastructure into the ground if necessary as well - including satellites and under sea cables. What do you think the appetite for that looks like in the West?
Or maybe that if the cheap Russian supply gets cut, they'll have to compete more with Asia on the LNG market, where the equivalent amount of in BTU costed around $1250 at the end of last year (does it even factor in the LNG terminal costs?). According to what I found, LNG would be at the very least double the price of pipeline gas.

It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
There are countries that are committing numerous breaches of human rights law, engaging in apartheid-like tactics and generally behaving like bad actors that the West has the power to do something about. For example: Saudi Arabia; Israel. Why don't you go do something about them if you're so morally superior?
There's still quite a lot we'd like to discourage Putin from doing to Ukraine, or punish him for, short of going to war. It doesn't have to be right this minute.
"There’s a flurry of commentary this morning arguing that new economic sanctions introduced by the EU, European states individually and perhaps soon the United States in response to yesterday’s events are too weak and show NATO and the EU are somehow going soft. I’d suggest some skepticism with these arguments and a bit more patience. History doesn’t have many one and done moments. Thinking every moment is Munich and Neville Chamberlain mostly makes people dumb. The US/EU/NATO powers here need to find a balance between having a response to yesterday’s events while yet keeping some deterrent in reserve for further escalation.
Yesterday’s recognition of the eastern puppet statelets and the dispatch of Russian ‘peacekeepers’ is both an invasion of Ukrainian territory and also not all that different from what’s happened for the last eight years. Those regions have been outside the central government’s control since 2014/15 and Russian army formations have operated there, just not as openly. I’m not saying these are the right decisions necessarily or what happens tomorrow or next week or anything else.
Just … like I said, history has very few one and done moments. The big threatened invasion hasn’t happened yet. The real goal is still to prevent that. Russia’s approach here can fairly be regarded as a kind of Zeno’s Aggression, keep taking incremental steps which split the difference or fall just a bit short of what merits a full threatened response. Rinse and repeat. It’s complicated. But like I said, I wouldn’t jump to conclusions or be cranking up any appeasement moral dramas just yet."

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time. --Frank Wilhoit
NATO rolling troops into poland etc suggested this was going to go different if he moved tanks in.

It's not a war boner, it's a CIVIL WAR boner. He just wants to kill liberals.
How is it showing their belly? Big sanctions that will destroy russian economic, EU/NATO seems quite pissed about the movements and legit are saying they aint looking away anymore. They won't attack or help Ukraine interms of military, but it does seems to have real responsibility if Russia is gonna take Ukraine.
