I dunno, I feel like there's a distinction between being timid and being cautious. Yeah we all wish things could have ramped up much faster and knocked Putin back to his bunker like a coward, but if we had misjudged his readiness then there might not be a Ukraine left today. We know better now, and I think Russia's disastrous ICBM testing gave everyone a good idea of what to expect. And the fact that they're not turning to North Korea of all places for support? Yeah it's not looking good for Russia's military.
