Russia will likely deploy a range of hybrid war tactics to discourage Western states from allowing Ukraine to use longer-range weapons against Russia. This will include threats to use nuclear weapons, changes in military strategy, cyber influence operations, sabotage, and arming U.S. adversaries like the Houthis in Yemen.
The military successes Israel is experiencing as it approaches the October 7 anniversary of Hamas’ attack against it contrast with the military and intelligence failures of a year earlier.
French left-wing protests have subsided but are likely to resume when the new government starts pursuing conservative policy positions.
Smaller European states are holding elections in October 2024, where support for Russia and reducing immigration are leading opposition demands.
