I have been following the show for a while, here is an interview with retired Colonel-General Leonid Ivashov in Russian. You can read about him in wikipedia [2]. Based on this assessment: i think that Putin might get a very similar professional assessment from his general staff. I mean similar in substance, but certainly not in form. (my grandparent comment was: 'I don't think that he will invade; Putin is a lot of things, but he knows some history and he is not a suicidal idiot. I think it's all for show') [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXOcuzQjzdo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXOcuzQjzdo [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonid_Ivashov https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonid_Ivashov
