This summer's sleeper surprise for the West is more likely to emerge from Vladimir Putin's Russia


?s=21

Agree w this article and am happy someone is addressing the threat and possible surprises that may arise from Putin's regime in August and most definitely closer to US elections. Russia's neighbors are at risk as well as seen by sudden military games and intimidation last month

For all the legitimate focus on rising US-China tensions, this summer’s sleeper surprise for the West is more likely to emerge from Vladimir Putin’s Russia. The question is: will it grow from Russia’s strength, its weakness or some combination of the two?
