US is building this narrative for a long time and they even set a timeline on when the war would begin as if they are like forecasting a war 
.
.Russia can destroy that narrative pretty easy, they've said they are sending their troops home after the exercise, they've said their troops are withdrawing, they've said they will not invade so all that is left is for them to actually not invade and they will prove the US wrong.
But what would be a topic about Russia without common style whataboutism propaganda, a lot of it?
I don't think that any western country would stop Russia from exporting oil,natural gas,metals and raw materials.This would be an economic suicide.
Hmm, my history book tells me that when the two blocks didn't trade even 10% of what they do now Europe was doing pretty well while the URSS went bankrupt, just like Russia did once more in 1998. So it's either that my book is wrong or something miraculous happened from 1945 to 1990 and made Europe not just survive but prosper without Russian resources.
Do you have a theory why it wouldn't be the case again?
