@vdmempire USAF ISR sorties over Lake Chad 3 days straight (28-30 Nov) from Accra confirm expanded US-Nigeria ISR pact. Same grid hit by NAF strikes earlier last month. Philip’s OSINT is spot-on but now ISWAP issued alerts to hide—OPSEC headache. Real boost vs ISWAP if strikes follow.

Seizing the Initiative against Russia: Putting the United States in Control by  @nataliabugayova

1/ The US should adapt a ‘no sanctuary’ policy when it comes to Russia’ war machine. The Kremlin’s strategic assets — key to Russia’s war — enjoy sanctuaries in the shadow of the West’s reactive posture. 

2/ One such example is the largely unsanctioned Rosatom enterprise — Russia’s state nuclear energy cooperation that is key to Russia’s operations in Europe, in the Arctic, and in Africa. Rosatom is complicit in human rights violations at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which it illegally occupies. Rosatom competes with US efforts to export American nuclear technology. 

3/ Another example is Russia’s “shadow fleet” that enables its energy trade, key to Russia’s ability to sustain the war. 

4/ The US and partners are more than capable of driving a long-term divestment strategy from Rosatom, as well as of proactively illuminating the shadow fleet to degrade its operations faster than its new elements emerge. But the success of such an effort requires the US to think proactively with the goal of denying Russia its sanctuaries.
