Schryvers analysis makes sense. Ru disposition makes no sense unless they are anticipating direct nato action. It also reconciles the contradiction of the "we don't want to to escalate" with the "Russia is weak". And why so much heavy lifting is done by Wagner etc.

I think we could easily blunder into a direct conflict with Russia. Biden and his team are a bunch of morons capable of the most idiotic mistakes.

Yup: “This is, therefore, the moment of greatest danger yet.” I wouldn’t put it passed the Empireatallcosts crowd to do the unthinkable. Hope Scheyver’s informed assessment holds…

Does the US and UK Leadership still believe John McCain’s Russia is a 'gas station masquerading as a country'?

The answer to correlates to the likelihood of NATO intervention.

And from a more cynical prospective, fighting Russia is a great excuse for more control by the deep state, and a great scapegoat.
