I follow Lawrence Freedman and he also only posts periodically. Notably when he discerns critical junctures or commentary on wider aspects of geopolitics which he sees as being relevant. Quality not quantity. Relevance not punditry. PK is very very good but his abhorrence for his government policies can become repetitive. So l sit up and take notice when you post. It’s always worth the wait.
Consider again my conjecture that Putin consciously plays a mixed strategy That is he rolls the dice to decide each move.
This may even be conscious. He seems to have done this zigzagging since the first clashes over the Donbas He had at one point a chief advisor we know has a reasonable acquaintance with game theory and enough knowledge of strategy to be head of the world chess federation
Trump seems to have known this instinctively perhaps
Thanks for the column today, it is indeed a mystery why the legacy media orgs are overlooking this. Is Witkoff not completely in over his head? How on earth is that man qualified to be in the room, let alone negotiate with the hardball players? Does he/the US have a supremely good translator?

I agree - it certainly is.
Brilliant Thanks as ever
