The return of a malignant and vengeful Russia - The authoritarian slide started before Putin, and accelerated after 2012. Was the trajectory of his rule always towards expansion and warfare, or has Western weakness facilitated this descent? @jmacrodgers - youtu.be/sooJ2G-gcCo
Putin 'thinks things are going his way,' I told @thetimes for this article on prospects for the #RussiaUkraineWar in 2026. The piece also mentions my new book, 'The Return of Russia', out later this month from @YaleBooks.
As the invasion of Ukraine grinds on, the Russian leader is increasingly insulated from dissent and no closer to making concessions to end his ideological war thetimes.com/world/russia-uk…
