## Resource

A leaked US intelligence assessment suggests Putin is considering an attack on a NATO country and America's weapons stockpile is dangerously depleted after the Iran war. Christiane and Jamie assess whether the threat is real and why Russia's hybrid warfare is already testing NATO's limits. After Netanyahu has publicly rejected Trump's Gaza peace plan, Jamie explains why Hamas likely agreed to it knowing Israel would say no and why this pattern of rejection stretches all the way back to the 1990s. Plus: should Ukraine be allowed to bomb Russian cities in self-defence? The strategic attacks on Russia's economy are already escalating, but will it be enough to change Putin's mind or will he keep doubling down on a losing hand?
