>> Russia might be about to invade Europe.
Totally unacceptable... grammar.

It should read “Russia possibly might be about to invade Europe.”

It should read “Russia possibly might be about to invade Europe.”

Au contraire! The original sentence ("Russia might be about to invade Europe") is grammatically correct.

The alternative proposed by Leaning Right contains an unnecessary "possibly," but is otherwise acceptable.
