Adam, that’s a well written cogent synopsis pointing out the peril of assuming Putin is mad. I think he based his invasion on some bad Intel and bad assumptions. The question that comes to my mind is whether or not, going forward, he will be receiving hard truths or continue to make his advisors nervous and fearful and solicit responses that only agree with his pre-conceived thoughts.
Looking forward to the next post, and bracing myself for contemplating some fairly dark scenarios!

Gregory, I really appreciate your comment - thanks! Bracing is a good idea I'm afraid.
