Precious N Chatterje-Doody - Strategic Application of Terror in Russian Foreign & Security Policies

The war is not going well for Russia. His propagandists on state TV are making ever more aggressive and genocidal demands against Ukraine – doubling down on its right to exist; hardliners are making their voices heard as never before, and Putin is striking out vindictively against Ukraine. How did we get here, and what is the endgame for Putin’s regime and his dreams of imperial revanchism?
