I have a prediction:
- this will incite random Russians to do shitty/violent/terroristical things in “enemy countries”
- Russia will claim tHaT’s nOT WhAT wE mEAnT (it is what they meant)
- countries will clamp down even further on Russian immigration; law enforcement agencies will surveil and detain Russian nationals who are engaging in such actions; citizenry the world over will become more hostile to Russians
- Russia will try to use this as a geopolitical diplomatic lever at best and a casus belli at worst
It is, after all, literally what they did to Ukraine from 2014 onwards.
