Thanks as always for your insights Rogelio. We are largely in agreement. I do believe that most US media, that is considered responsible understands the inherent threat and capabilities of Putin's Russia but don't understand how to "connect the dots" or how to explain what the connected dots mean. I also don't see Russia playing "both sides." In my analysis, Putin in the Trump era and which continues in today's Republican Party, Putin is quite straight forward due to his narratives/ talking points are readily disseminated by a party, dominated by extremists and whose identity has been conditioned by the Fox News and similar to Pavlovian status. They simply repeat Putin's points verbatim or close to it.
The saddest part, the US National Security community has zero clue what to do and how to reverse the conditioning. The key is understanding and prosecuting Narrative Warfare professionally. Ninety-nine per cent of the community doesn't even understand what narrative is, let alone operate with it. DoD wants to but is settled on a bunch of defense contractors who clearly are clueless and DHS/ FBI, are not even interested. All the above believe that technology will save them. It's a fool's errand and puts the US at extreme risk, increasingly so as the months tick by.
All good thoughts Rogelio and in my opinion, your assertion is but a part of the overall narrative. While that Putin is certainly enjoying the added benefit that Bibi is being hurt, and Israel, the overall narrative is as I have presented it in this series of reports/ updates. There is in fact, an axis of evil that is behind all of this, with Xi at the top and Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and others at the bottom doing the dirty work. Russia and Iran both are merely middle men contributing and pot stirring for their own selfish purposes.
