Rote dünne Linie – Wie man Russland ausnutzt | Der kühne Kursk-Einmarsch der Ukraine hat nicht nur gezeigt, dass die Drohungen des Kremls oft Bluffs sind, sondern hat es der Ukraine auch ermöglicht, das Narrativ aufzugreifen und Russland in einer Sprache zu antworten, die sie versteht

*The West itself should also be prepared for anything, not just defending against Russian hybrid attacks but responding to them below the threshold of war. **This includes cyberattacks on Russian systems and destabilizing Russia at a socio-political level**.*
*Unfortunately, democratic countries face legal obstacles here. Unlike regimes like Russia and Belarus, there are limitations. **Nevertheless, even within these constraints, policy must not be toothless**, at least at the rhetorical level.*
Honestly.
Russia under Putin has been like a rabid dog.
It needs to be de-fanged (through shows of force, remember how the Battle of Khasham went?) or put down (by giving Ukraine the means to end it militarily and economically).
No half measures. Otherwise, Russia will be like herpes.
