Right now, Russia has over 40,000 troops deployed across the globe—not counting Ukraine. From Kaliningrad to Mali, Syria to the Arctic, Russia is burning through cash, manpower, and credibility. The scary part? They’re not strong. They’re weak. And weakness on this scale gets dangerous fast.In this video, I’ll walk through Russia’s global force posture: Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Arctic. We’ll talk about why their deployments don’t make sense, how sanctions evasion keeps the lights on in Moscow, and why overextension could be the biggest risk of all.This breakdown is based on a 49-page paper I co-authored for a private client, available at RyanMcBeth.Substack.com for paid subscribers. It’s five bucks. My prices are insane.
