“What Russia is trying to do is to ensure that countries along its periphery don't have a choice in how they want to organize their societies... That is a direct threat to democracy around the world.”
Whether Russia’s energy sector is the target of additional Western sanctions, or it is weaponized by Putin in response to punitive measures, any major disruption to Russia’s fossil fuel exports will likely be felt by Americans at the gas pump, on their heating bills and in higher costs for other consumer goods, potentially causing inflation to increase as well.
At the White House on Friday, deputy national security adviser Anne Neuberger told reporters that while there are currently no credible or specific cyber threats to the homeland, U.S. officials have been in communication with the private sector since before Thanksgiving, urging businesses such as banks and utility companies to beef up their cyber defenses.
“If we were to go gloves-off in a cyberwar with the Russians, we will be facing massive problems in terms of data compromise, in terms of disruptions, including to our critical infrastructure in the U.S.,” Bremmer said. “That’s something Americans have really not been thinking about, frankly, since the days of the Cold War.”Ukrainians protest outside the Russian Embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine, Feb. 22, 2022.
Questioning the legitimacy of Ukraine’s elected leaders, Putin called the country “a colony with puppets at its helm.” Lohsen said a Russian invasion of Ukraine could send the message to the rest of the world that “might is right,” emboldening other strong countries to stake their claim over smaller neighboring states just because they can. The most obvious example of concern is China, which many fear could follow Russia’s lead and invade Taiwan.
