The Western reaction to the Russian invasion of Ukraine reminds me of the failed “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran. Western elites are in danger of getting carried away by their own rhetoric and propaganda; and their seeming anger at Russia’s actions to reclaim Ukraine from the Western campaign to turn it into a vassal to be used as the frontline of their war to subjugate Russia. The failure of this maximum pressure campaign will be much greater, as it will be so much more visible to the world and the blowback on Western economies could be so much greater. Western elites have lit a match not understanding that they have doused themselves in gasoline (petroleum to some readers).
