This is a fascinating thread, it’s (supposedly) a translation of a report from a serving FSB officer.
🧵My translation of the analysis of the current situation in Russia by an active FSB analyst. Buckle up for a long thread and definitely please share far & wide. The full text is over 2000 words. This is a highly insightful look behind the curtain – covers many subjects.

Here’s an interesting thread on the types of conflicts Russia has been involved in since the fall of the USSR. This latest conflict is unlike anything modern Russia has tried before, and in the long run has almost no benefits, even if they beat Ukraine.
I wonder if what looks ever more like a huge military, economic, and strategic disaster for Russia is a product of a category error by Putin, who failed to appreciate what type of Russian military action he was starting. (A thread – apologies for the length.)
