Thank you for the update, Advisor.

Russia’s Peer Status Summary:
* Economic Condition: Depressed (4), indicating internal pressures that could make them unpredictable or desperate, but also potentially constrained.
* Posture: Cautious (1 of 2), which gives us some breathing room—no current signs of overt aggression.
* Relations with U.S.: 2 (Distrust, trending Anti-U.S.). Not outright hostility, but clearly deteriorating.
* Sanctions: 1 multilateral—helpful in limiting their global maneuverability and economy.
* Tensions: 2 counters—these will need careful monitoring, particularly in zones like Eastern Europe and Middle East where Russian influence is present.

This is a peer actively working against our interests but not currently postured for open conflict. We’ll need to continue reinforcing alliances, especially in Europe and Central South Asia, and look for ways to contain Russian influence without giving Moscow pretexts to escalate.

I await your report on China, Advisor.
