Zelenskyy explained Putin’s dilemma:

He’s not winning. That’s the problem for him. He has to perform for his own society. He doesn’t respect Ukrainians. He doesn’t respect Americans. He doesn’t respect anyone else. He fears his own nation.

The empire has no cards. Only fear.

INTERVIEW: Latvia facing 'alarming' period amid rising Russian threat in Baltics, president says

Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics said his country sees no signs of an imminent conventional attack by Russia, but described the coming weeks as an "alarming" period in an interview with the Kyiv Independent. Rinkevics said his government is preparing for cyberattacks, information campaigns, and possible disruptions by Russia around Latvia's parliamentary elections on Oct. 3. "We have asked, and our NATO friends and allies provided additional battle plans. I'm pretty sure that those measures that we are introducing will be sufficient to have the election process not impacted in any negative way," Rinkevics said. "But the warning is there." Security concerns continue to grow in the Baltic region. NATO officials have warned about Russian drone incursions, airspace violations, sabotage, and other hybrid threats, while countries in the region have been strengthening air defenses. Rinkevics stressed that Latvia does not see Russia preparing an imminent conventional attack against the Baltic states, Poland, or other NATO countries. "There is a lot of speculation by experts, by bloggers, about a possible conventional attack against the Baltic states or against Poland or other countries," he said. "We do not have facts to support that." But he said the absence of an imminent conventional attack...

Very much like the Carlo Masala scenario in "if Russia wins". But without the winning part.

Institute for the Study of War @thestudyofwar.bsky.social · 1d

1/ A full-scale Russian invasion of a NATO state is extremely unlikely while Russia remains fully committed to war against Ukraine. But full-scale invasion is not Putin's only option to conventionally escalate against a NATO state.

Putin can end the war at any time. Trump is simultaneously excited by violent dictators and incredibly naive about their intentions.
