More than two weeks into a war he expected to dominate in two days, Vladimir Putin is projecting anger, frustration at his military’s failures and a willingness to cause even more violence and destruction in Ukraine, in the assessment of U.S. intelligence officials.
Officials in recent days have publicly said they’re worried the Russian president will escalate the conflict to try to break Ukraine’s resistance. Russia still holds overwhelming military advantages and can bombard the country for weeks more. And while the rest of the world reacts to horrific images of the war he started, Putin remains insulated from domestic pressure by what CIA Director William Burns called a “propaganda bubble.”
Putin’s mindset — as tough as it is to determine from afar — is critical for the West to understand as it provides more military aid to Ukraine

When is the last time US “intelligence officials” were right about anything?
So, you don’t think he’s likely to escalate?
I doubt he thought he would win the war in two days. Any article that starts off with that is suspect in my opinion.
Elections have consequences, and weakness invites aggression. What else can be said about it? :shrugs:
RAT-A-TAT-TAT
The drumbeat for war.
That is when a Wilson-Roosevelt-Churchill like Joe Biden will show up to save the world.*

Dear God give us another Reagan or Mr Trump ASAP.
Marc Steiner: I want to also talk a bit more about the role of the war profiteers in all of this because that really does get lost in many discussions.
Marc Steiner: Especially in the mainstream media. Just before you came on I started reading the lyrics of Masters of War by Bob Dylan and how it fits into this description of the world that we’re facing at the moment. And you list a number of things in this article and companies that are making profits off what’s happening at this very moment, will make huge profits if it continues. So that’s a fact we don’t often put into, at least in the establishment world, they don’t put that into the analysis of why in the situation we’re in.

Well, Putin has asked for military equipment from China. And apparently China has agreed, though they are now saying they didn’t agree (ha)
I’d call that an escalation.
Hopefully, we’re keeping a close eye on planes & trains going into Russia from China.
How embarrassing for Putin to have to ask for military help.
Though it speaks very highly of his propaganda machine. He had the entire world convinced that his military was top-notch. Now the world sees the truth
I’d like to hear Russia’s view of Brandon.
One thing you can rely on regarding the US intelligence community. Like Schumer said they’ll get you “six ways from Sunday” if you cross them domestically or if you question their politically engineered foreign “analysis”.
US view of Putin: Angry, frustrated, likely to escalate war

When you see “news” articles with qualifiers such as “likely”, “might”, “could”, “may”; then it’s not news, it’s opinion / propaganda designed to shape the narrative.

“US view of Putin: Angry, frustrated, likely to escalate war”
Best news that I’ve heard regarding Putin, since it means that the TRUTH is, given the record of those running this country:
Putin: “Calm, content, and unlikely to escalate war”
Look at what a country does...not what they say they are doing and wise governments should direct their plans accordingly and ignore the propaganda.
“US view of Putin: Angry, frustrated, likely to escalate war”

US view of Washington: Angry, frustrated, likely to escalate war.
Agreed.
He will have to use a wmd, and threaten the rest of the area to back down or he wipes the countries off the map..any retaliation would be certain death..I think Europe is seeing this..
