Why would Putin be afraid of democracy when even the past U.S.
narrative has been that Putin has rigged elections? Who is
afraid of something they can easily manipulate if they want to,
which Putin must obviously be able to do considering how long he
has been president of Russia, if the U.S. narrative about "Putin
being afraid of democracy" is true, correct?
What is the real escalation? Lavrov tells it like it is! :)

A move has been made:

HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-VX8O-yWKU
The correct response now would be for NATO to send troops into
Crimea (or even other territories currently controlled by
Russia). Otherwise makes it all about who controls the new
disputed territories, with Russia only with territory to gain
but no territory to lose, placing it into an advantageous
position from the outset.
If someone starts punching you on the street and your "fighting
back" consists only of blocking, you are not really fighting
back. You are only seriously fighting back when you successfully
make the aggressor feel that they could lose more than they
stand to gain.

If sanctions worked, Russia would have given back Crimea by now:

--- Quote ---

Russian Duma unanimously passed a resolution asking for all
members of the Duma to be included on the sanctions list.[408]
Head of the Just Russia party Sergei Mironov said he was proud
of being included on the sanctions list: "It is with pride that
I have found myself on the black list, this means they have
noticed my stance on Crimea."[409] Russian companies started
pulling billions of dollars out of Western banks to avoid any
asset freeze.[410]

It hasn't, because they don't. Russia is not afraid of
sanctions, period. The sooner we accept this, the sooner the
discussion can proceed to what measures (e.g. WMDs) are required
to actually stop Russia. The longer NATO keeps talking about
sanctions, the more I get the feeling that no one actually wants
to stop Russia. Sanctions are nothing but performative gestures
by NATO to set itself up to eventually say, "See? We tried!" and
then absolve itself of having to do anything serious until next
time. And when next time comes, NATO responds with..... more
sanctions! Repeat as many times as necessary until Duginism
wins?

treated harshly by history is if Putin and Duginism wins. They
surely know this themselves, are any of them willing to commit
actual treason to attempt to ensure the victory of Duginism and
save their reputations and ideology? Rightists have already
proven they have no real issue with treason as they tip-toe
closer and closer to that line, have they not?
