Russia’s intentions are ever more ominous

Lately, I’ve been feeling the need to be thoughtful about Ukraine-Russia-related stories. So many bloggers these days suddenly understand the six scenarios of how the war in Ukraine will or will not end; how a nuclear war might play out; what Putin’s exact plan in Ukraine is; how Russia failed with its war; or how it didn’t fail — how Putin has already won over the West, apparently. There are many opportunistic stories. Opportunism and integrity are not always friends; neither are opportunism and expertise.
