I am of the opinion that the “burner under the boiling pot” is the attempt to supplant the American dollar with the BRICS model. In essence, it is a war as a proxy for the fighting between central bank systems. So far, BRICS is loosing.
The push into Ukraine was supposed to happen quickly with the collapse of Ukraine and integration of the Crimean oil fields into Russia’s economy. That did not happen and now Russia is in an even worse economic position.
The China gambit was to tie American hands by having a oil flow through Russia, make American dependent so that when China attacks Taiwan, America can be sidelined.
Again, that has also not happened. Now Russia is stuck in a logistics war that they can easily win nor withdraw from.
