And the logic behind that is about security.
It's about establishing what they believe to be a secure buffer, protecting the Russian people within it.
And the question really is how long it takes them to get there if indeed they keep going in that way.
So I think when you start to understand that,
And all of the stuff that we've heard, well, the rushes are going slowly.
It misses the objective.
It misses what they're trying to achieve.
And when you understand what they're doing, what I think is a clear strategy, then I think what that does is to actually help you work out what they're doing, why they're doing it.
why they're doing it and how the west should be thinking because at the moment we sort of see on the one hand russian army is not doing very well it's not securing much much territory that's not true it's actually increasing it's been securing territory for at least the last 30 or so months but they're not security they weren't securing territory initially such simply to secure the territory they were doing it to actually
to wear down and attract the Ukrainian army with a high degree of success, as we know from the casualties.
So I think when you get that, I think it's much easier to understand what they're doing and where they're heading.
It's a really, really good question.
And I have said for quite a long time now that the Russian operations are being guided by a military strategy and the Western operations are being guided by a political narrative and with objectives that change quite a lot.
I think the initial objective, and it depends which particular party on the NATO side you're talking to,
But the initial objectives were possibly to break up Russia.
There's a very interesting RAND study written in 2018, I think it is, which is called Extending Russia.
The Russian intelligence chief, Budenov, actually, in a YouTube video, which is on YouTube, talked about the need to actually have a war with Russia to actually help them get into NATO.
I think there's also what I would call lag in thinking, because a lot of the...
The people who were proposing the extension, the expansion later without thinking through the consequences did not anticipate this.
I'm certain they didn't anticipate it because they weren't ready.
