Scenario planning in Russia....
Boris: Why do we bother making this invasion into Ukraine?
Vlad: We want to provide a context where we can leave bait for the Americans.
Boris: How so?
Vlad: Well, we abandon military communications equipment that have ability to spread systems virus.
Boris: Oh, I see, well what about this 'war"?
Vlad: We don't want to win anything, we want the Americans to dissect and 'reverse engineer' a baited piece of equipment, a digital Trojan horse. Make sure it is determined to be "Highly classified".
Boris: Don't you think they will figure it out?
Vlad: Well, they might, but its worth a try. Perhaps they will consider it a big 'win' and have it taken to Ft Meade....
By the way, have Mikhail contact Jeffrey Epstein in Israel via back channels and see if he has enough teenage Ukrainian girls for more honey pot traps for American politicians and celebrities. It is wonderful to pull the strings from thousands of miles away. Or maybe we can get another round of bots going on Meta to ramp up great disinformation campaign.
Boris: I thought Epstein was dead and hung himself?
Vlad: They play old 'possum' gag and got him back to Mossad handlers. Like our military communication equipment - it breaks down at perfect time!
