Shoot at residential infrastructure. Invading Russian forces' new strategy

Putin once again convenes the Security Council. Yesterday, he recorded a video specifically for this, where he stated, without any evidence, that the Ukrainian Special Services were behind the bombing of the Crimean bridge and that it was a terrorist attack against critical infrastructure. With all this, he hints that some unique decisions will be made today.

So, what decision will Russia's Security Council make today?

I think Putin will declare Ukraine a terrorist country and, perhaps, rename the "special military operation" to the "counter-terrorist operation" (in this case, the role of the FSB increases compared to the Russian Ministry of Defense), and also, once again, say that nuclear weapons are not a bluff.

Putin wants to be accepted as a winner at the G20 summit (November 15 in Bali) to start talking to him. Actually, November 15, 2022 is the next conditional reference point to which he will adjust all his efforts. Now we will see masses of articles and statements of various politicians that it is necessary to start negotiations and recognize the annexation.

I think Putin will not succeed, but the month before this summit will be extremely difficult in every sense. Zaporizhzhia shows: a political decision has been made to attack the housing infrastructure, bringing chaos and demoralization into society. The new (first) head of the "special military operation" is a person who only knows how to clear territories.  Therefore, residential infrastructure, despite the fact that it does not serve any military purpose, becomes one of the priorities for the Russian Missile Forces. I lead to the fact that the air raid alarm is more serious than ever.

But I will repeat: Putin will not succeed in anything.
