I understand he thinks the EU is weak and he can win the war in Ukraine because EU support will falter and break under pressure. This is the reason i think there is a good chance escalation will continue in Europe. War is coming for european countries besides Ukraine.

Maybe the war between Russia and Europe, will not be as kinetic and intense as past wars. But it seems we are slowly gliding into something that could be given that name. Russia also has an interest to make it not an "all-out" conflict because by keeping it at a lower intensity, art. 4 and art. 5 of the NATO treaty stay out of sight. A lot of NATO-countries will oppose calling for a art.5 procedure when "just" a few targets in Europe are hit.
#EU #Russia #NATO #war

With instability in Germany, France, Spain and other european countries i am quite sure Putin will not compromise and fight on in Ukraine, further provoke NATO and the EU. He will maybe even succeed in destroying the NATO alliance because it's very weak in it's reactions on continuing russian provocations. More war is coming i am afraid.

We can assume that Russia is fully engaged in supporting the AfD where it can, indirectly, via intermediaries. Maybe using their old contacts and intelligence networks in the "east". Also it will probably support muslim extremism and extreme left, also with cut-outs, all to destabilze Germany.
