"Down the Rabbit Hole" returns with a focus on the intense fighting now ongoing in and around the town of Soledar. Dr. Yuval Weber, #TeamKrulak's Russia subject matter expert, looks at the combat underway there and the implications of the Wagner Group private military company leading Russian efforts. We also discussed the recent appointment of Russian General Valery Gerasimov as Putin's point man for the "special military operation," rumors of a large second wave of Russian mobilization coming soon, and Western announcements of the provision of infantry fighting vehicles (and maybe tanks? maybe not?) to the Ukrainian military.

All opinions expressed here are those of the individual and do not necessarily reflect those of the Krulak Center, Marine Corps University, the United States Marine Corps, or any other agency of the U.S. Government.
