Similar to the situation in Donbass. My read on the situation is that Russia didn’t have plans to invade after it recognized the LNR and the DNR; except, perhaps, in the removed sense that it had contingency plans for a war in Ukraine. But every military has such plans. Right now the United States probably has a plan for how to invade Mexico, and Mexico has a plan for how to fight the United States.
Russia intervened after Ukrainian troops launched a major attack on major population centers in the DNR and LNR (these are very close to what was then the front line). As an ally of the breakaway republics, which were already at war with the fascist junta in Kiev, Russia had every legal right to intervene.

NATO once had a plan of nuking every communication node in Poland (meaning basically almost every city over 50k) to cut GDR from USSR in case of cold war going hot. Hell, i think they still have it considering what is function of Poland in NATO.

Funny how “being America’s enemy” and “being America’s friend” gets you the exact same benefits: absolutely nothing.
Taking a looooong stare at Georgia and Ukraine.
