While the U.S. shifted strategic focus from Russia to China as the primary peer competitor (a strategically rational shift), this does not necessitate deprioritizing Russia entirely, as Russia continues to pose an existential threat through intelligence operations and state capture.

“I certainly agree with the overall strategic shift of the United States... So strategically in in the macro sense that's that is all sensible... that said... for the west, for the United States in particular to uh divert its eye uh and attention from Russia is an error. It's a huge error... while I agree that we need to have as our one number one priority China, that doesn't mean we diminish our focus actually on Russia either.”
