I think that many expect a false flag type action that provides cause for further escalation, but even the demented and clueless Biden administration must have some internal contrarians that have enumerated the massive downsides to spreading this war wider, or engaging with NATO troops directly. So despite their apparent obliviousness, they must have heard the RAND Corps list of caveats and warnings, and I am sure there are plenty in the military that are not eager to ramp this up further. I expect that in the near term one main strategy will be to quietly encourage more mercenaries from NATO countries to "do their duty for freedom" and pay their own way to Ukraine to wage war on the infidels. This has clearly been a background tactic for some time, and will probably be encouraged further.

We will see if they have the sheer stupidity to give Russia reason to change tactics again and massively escalate their long-range warfare to another level. The US and NATO are in a bit of a bind due to the lack of support among their populaces. So the sneaky route might be more tenable than a major false flag incident. We shall soon see.
