Thank you. Very good points, Stephen. I agree, with his KGB background Putin belongs entirely to the Cold War era. I do believe that returning to hybrid forms of confrontation with the West was his plan already in his first years in power. If the Bolsheviks in Russia a hundred years ago promoted the concept of permanent revolution, Putin is promoting the concept of permanent war. He has never, however, taken such great risks. The “special operation” in Ukraine was supposed to be a repeat of the success in Crimea in 2014, to consolidate public support around the Kremlin. A strategic mistake was made on February 24; no one knows how to fix it now.
