What U.S. Intelligence Just Discovered About Russia Is Terrifying | John Mearsheimer

U.S. intelligence agencies have just detected a structural shift inside the Kremlin that has triggered quiet alarm throughout Washington and Brussels.

In this video, I deconstruct the terrifying realization now sweeping through the American intelligence community: Russia has stopped reacting and started shaping. This is no longer about immediate battlefield tactics—it is a calculated, long-term pivot designed to alter the global strategic balance in ways the West is structurally unprepared to counter.

Drawing on offensive realism and the geopolitical framework of John Mearsheimer, we analyze why Moscow’s sudden "silence" is more dangerous than its threats. We explore how this new asymmetry exposes critical vulnerabilities in NATO’s cohesion and why U.S. policymakers may be misreading a prelude to escalation as a sign of restraint.
