... was the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, who was doing his level best to give Boris Johnson another reason to try and divert attention away from Partygate and to also send out a message to the world that if you had thought Covid was bad, things might just get worse. What has Putin actually been planning? Has it all been some sabre-rattling or coercive diplomacy? Why has he been planning anything? Domestic reasons can come in handy when seeking to get the people unite against a perceived enemy, and there is much playing to a long and deep-felt sense of Russian insecurity. It is perhaps a psyche thing as much as anything else, which can make the situation as unpredictable as it seems.
