1/It is possible that Putin has made a fatal mistake. If he does not invade, he will lose face at home and then have to face his own people, internal unrest, and various usurpers.
The only way Putin can level the playing field to “succeed” in this confrontation is hybrid war.

2/This requires tactical surprise, and full activation of his global fifth column, to wage information war and spur localized hot confrontations in the West.
But Western counterintelligence knows who that network is. And they can legally monitor their foreign comms.

3/UK has already shown they are able and willing to get ahead of Putin by spoiling info ops and fifth column operations, in yesterday’s case inside Ukraine. There is a very large, low hanging catalog of players that could be pre-emptively exposed by Western counter-intel.
4/Every day that Putin’s tactical advantage is spoiled and he is made to seem foolish by having his intentions and next moves exposed is a day closer to the eventual collapse of his doomed regime. Keep this up Vova. There is plenty more of your 5th column to expose and dismantle.
5/And if the west exposes his 5th column fully, there is simply no way he can prevail with his Big Fat Duginist Orthodox Third Rome agenda. The idea that Putin has any upper hand here is, I think, false. Keep it up, buddy; it’s not like we didn’t see what you’ve been doing.
