How strikes could spiral the war #substack #shorts

In this short clip, George Beebe, former director of the CIA's Russia analysis, argues that if Ukraine initiates a campaign of deep strikes into Russian territory, it will likely provoke a major escalation from Russia. Beebe suggests that this response would involve a significant increase in bombing and missile strikes against Kyiv and other key Ukrainian population centers, an approach not yet fully utilized by Russian forces. He further highlights the danger of this escalation, noting that Ukraine currently lacks a sufficiently robust air defense system to mitigate such a large-scale aerial assault.
