๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Every deep strike into Russia hands the Kremlin the argument it wanted. Geopolitical analyst Glenn Diesen says the NATO-backed campaign has done Moscow's messaging work for it, turning an abstract claim into something Russians can point at: "All these deep strikes only essentially prove the Kremlin point that...

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Political scientist Glenn Diesen says attacks on Russia's economy may be pushing the war in the opposite direction. Strikes on refineries, warehouses, and commercial infrastructure are designed to pressure ordinary Russians and force the Kremlin toward negotiations. But he believes the strategy misunderstands Moscow's motivations. Diesen says Russia views the conflict as existential and is unlikely to change course because of economic pain. Instead, he warns the pressure campaign could trigger a harsher response and further escalation. Glenn Diesen

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ NATO WEAKENED, RUSSIA EMBOLDENED, BUT BOTH WANT OUT Norwegian political scientist Glenn Diesen says the endgame for Ukraine is coming into view. NATO is fracturing, Ukraine can't fill its ranks, and Russia, shaken by Trump's unpredictability, still wants a fast exit on its own terms. "All Ukrainians want victory over Russia, but they're all hiding from the recruitment officers." When nobody wants to pay the price, the war finds its own ending. Glenn Diesen

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Europe has convinced itself it can strike Russia without consequences. Geopolitical analyst Glenn Diesen calls that the most dangerous assumption on the continent right now, because Moscow doesn't need tanks rolling west to prove the opposite: "They don't need to capture Berlin. They just need to make sure that the NATO countries know that if they attack Russia, then there will be a response." Deterrence works while both sides still believe in it, and that belief is what's eroding fastest. Glenn Diesen

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ A missile landing in Poland may matter less than what Russia does next. Geopolitical analyst Prof. Glenn Diesen says the real story isn't whether the strike was accidental or intentional, but that Moscow may be trying to reestablish deterrence against NATO after years of gradual escalation. Each step crossed what were previously considered red lines, yet Russia largely avoided direct retaliation against NATO itself. Diesen argues that strategy may be reaching its limit. If the Kremlin concludes its deterrence has collapsed, it could begin responding the same way NATO gradually escalated: one small step at a time. That changes how incidents like the Polish missile are interpreted. He sees a similar pattern elsewhere. Ukraine's strikes on Russian refineries, warehouses and logistics hubs are intended to raise the economic cost of the war and pressure the Kremlin into negotiations. But Diesen believes the strategy misunderstands Russia's mindset. His argument is that economic pain works differently when a country believes it's fighting for its survival. Diesen's conclusion is that both sides are now operating under very different assumptions. The West believes increasing pressure will eventually force Russia to compromise. Russia believes every new escalation confirms its original argument that NATO itself is the threat. If those assumptions don't change, each new strike intended to shorten the war may instead convince both sides they need to escalate even further. Glenn Diesen

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Most Western politicians have never actually read the NATO charter they keep invoking. Geopolitical Analyst Glenn Diesen breaks down why the "obligatory war" assumption could collapse the moment it's tested. "Each country should consider it as an attack on everyone, and they can take the decisions themselves, how they want to respond to this, so they can write a strongly worded letter or they can join in on the war." If Russia strikes European infrastructure and NATO blinks, the bluff that has held for decades is over. Glenn Diesen

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Russia may decide it has to hit a NATO country directly, and that's exactly how a nuclear war starts. Glenn Diesen says the recent, unprecedented drone strikes on Moscow mark a serious escalation, extending a pattern of provocations that have already targeted Russia's nuclear early-warning systems and retaliatory capabilities. Russia will likely hit back at Ukraine, he says, but here's the trap he flags: those strikes may not deter anyone, because NATO, the side actually supplying the resources, doesn't treat Ukrainian casualties as a strategic loss. That, Glenn warns, could push Moscow toward a chilling conclusion, that the only way to draw a real red line is to strike a NATO country directly, even knowing it risks triggering nuclear war.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ What if the peace deal Russia was offered a year ago never really disappeared, and now Washington is coming back to it? Professor Glenn Diesen argues that the U.S. presented Russia with a peace proposal, Moscow made concessions, and Washington then walked away. Diesen says that the 40-day NATO bombing campaign that followed was a last-ditch attempt to force better terms, but instead, it failed to break the Kremlinโ€™s position. โ€œThe pressure on the Kremlin is to put an end to this war.โ€ Russia responded with heavy retaliation against Ukraine, pushing the conflict even further. Now Kushner is heading to Moscow. A year later, the same war is still going, and Washington is back at the negotiating table. Draw your own conclusions. Glenn Diesen

Kyiv disputes the encirclement claims, though nobody is arguing the line is moving in Ukraine's favor, and Kharkov is back in the conversation for the first time in years. Glenn Diesen
