Putin, and all Russian commanders who have any real say in Russia's foreign policy,
know darn well that a real assassination attempt on any foreign head of state or (royal) dignitary means full scale war, potentially escalating into nuclear war.
they also know they can't possibly win that war.
they seek to sap our strength through economic and military proxy wars.
war by attrition. look it up![]()
our defense strategy has been the 'uni-polar world-view and war on communism and socialism', so far (post WW2).
that strategy has a side-effect : it provides the enemy with endless support from their youth fighting (in any decade!) against 'the evil West'.
but the fact that President Xi has repeatedly voiced support for what in effect would be a People's Republic of China dominated world-view, means that we here in the West had better retreat into a long-term sturdy alliance of nations[1] that, amongst other things, guarantees freedom of navigation on the seas.
[1] so that we can finally put an end to proxy-wars.
