@LRomantz@AshaRangappa_ Itโs not really mansplaining unless it comes from the maines plaines region of France, otherwise itโs just sparkling douchebaggery.
Fair warning to any mutuals, if I see anybody tweeting anything even slightly russophobic

"Russia under Vladimir Putin is not merely an authoritarian state that employs intelligence services. It is an intelligence state that employs a government.
That distinction matters."
๐It changes how one interprets Russian behavior in Ukraine, election interference, cyber operations, sabotage campaigns, assassinations, influence operations, and diplomatic engagement.
๐"It also challenges one of the foundational assumptions that guided Western policy toward Moscow after the Cold War: namely, that economic integration and globalization would gradually transform Russia into a more conventional European state."
For those on Linked, or Substack...Above is from Ken Robinson, a former Ranger, Spec-Ops Pro and IC professional (and great writer and producer in his own right), who posted an outstanding review of my book and all its key judgements today. He was also a CNN analyst for many years.
๐Am honored by his review of my book.
His key assessment of my work, correctly, is encapsulated in that statement above.
If you have not been able to pick up the book yet, please check this out, and you'll want to! I appreciated Ken's hard work on it and his support to the mission.
Also posted to SUBSTACK here, please check it out:
