Do not miss my father's assessment of Putin's plans. @Halsrethink spent time with him years before he became the Russian leader. He longs "for was a return of Imperial Russia, not Soviet Russia." This war is just beginning. unherd.com/2022/06/putins…
🧵 "Peter, he told me, had set in motion the magnificent strengthening of Russia completed by Catherine the Great: the establishment of Novorossiya, or Imperial Russia, spanning all of the Baltic Sea, the Nordics and Poland, nations to the W and to the S to the Azov and Black Sea
🧵Putin's elevation in Russian politics happened so quickly that he "felt like fate had chosen him to be a second incarnation of Peter the Great — a 21st-century Tsar, or even Emperor."
🧵 If a ceasefire is declared, the world will sigh with relief, stock markets will rebound, worries about world food shortages will diminish, and diplomats will go back to sleep. But the war will only be in hibernation; the action will resume at a later date....
🧵"After 100 days of war, the battle for Ukraine is only getting started." But, we will think there is peace, at least for a while. This means the quiet, invisible war that intel fights every day well outside of Ukraine will intensify. @MI5_Official @ChiefMI6 @CIA #FiveEyes
🧵 A different kind of war, the invisible war, is about to intensify. It will involve infiltration of the tech community, efforts to compromise business people, battles in invisible places like space, cyberspace and the oceans all involving critical comms and strategic locations.
🧵 The "anything goes" "unlimited warfare" and "Gerasimov Doctrine" approach will, as Putin keeps saying "affect civilians". Time for the intel and military community to really think about what this means. Ignoring events, as has happened in the past, is not going to work anymore

Putin’s Rasputin: The Dangerous Mind of Aleksandr Dugin by @domingoladron link.medium.com/F3rurs8RSpb. “Dugin believes this new Eurasian empire is the Russian people’s birthright, to rule once again over lesser peoples in the lands surrounding them”
2. According to Dugin, Russians are a messianic people, possessing “universal, pan-human significance”. This is an end if days type of thinking.
3. "Russians are, according to Dugin, a rigteous and holy people, descended from the fictitious northern Arctic realm of Hyperborea, and destined to rule over the earth.”

1. Sergey Karagonov: “it’s about the final crash of the international system that was created after WWII and after the collapse of the Soviet Union. We are witnessing the collapse of an economic system – of the world economic system – globalisation in this form is finished.
2. I found this interview w Karangov, advisor to Putin, cryptic and difficult to comprehend. The core idea is that Russia’s current leaders must “win” just because they want to be in charge. newstatesman.com/world/europe/u…
3. What does he mean when he says “There is also an aim to free the Donbas republics of eight years of constant bombardment.” The Russians seized buildings. Then they complain about being bombarded?
