The Kremlin seems to be instigating a shadow war with Europe, and there is a growing push in the West to take decisive countermeasures.

Specifically, we investigate whether the Kremlin is intentionally trying to bait a response from NATO, which could increase domestic support for the war effort in Ukraine. Correctly identifying what the Kremlin's position is therefore necessary for the Western counterstrategy to not backfire. 0:00 Russia's Shadow War 2:57 Russia's Troubled War Position 7:14 Russia's Domestic Political Constraints 11:29 Russia's Master Plan The appearance of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), EU, and NATO visual information does not imply or constitute an endorsement.
