===Views on the West===
Retired French Army General Dominique Delawarde said of Putin:<ref>https://t.me/IntelRepublic/41651</ref>
{{quotebox|Westerners still don't seem to understand who Putin really is. Putin is a man who has a wealth of experience with [[the West]]'s duplicity, who is always one step ahead, who knows exactly what the West has in its head and in its soul.
Putin is a man who will react, yes, if a decision is made to strike deep into [Russia]. Putin will react, neither too strongly nor too weakly, but in a measured way.
We will not succeed in destabilizing Putin. He knows everything and he will react against countries that play this game. In other words, if the [[UK]] sends a few [[Storm Shadow]] [[missile]]s deep into Russian territory, the reaction will be against the UK.}}
