Daniel Davis: Russia's New Strategy - No More Appeasing NATO

U.S. leadership refuses to acknowledge military defeats and continues projecting false success despite physical and strategic deterioration.

Russia's current strategy prioritizes attrition, firepower dominance, and stockpile accumulation to prepare for potential conflict with NATO.

NATO and Ukraine are critically low on interceptors while Russia expands missile and drone capabilities, leaving Western air defenses vulnerable.

Ukraine's interceptor stocks are two and a half times lower than a year ago while Russia's offensive capacity has doubled.

Russian war hawks may advocate for direct war with NATO to exploit Western vulnerabilities in drone warfare, infrastructure hardening, and ground force readiness.
