The Illusion of Power: How Putin’s Russia is Making the Same Mistakes as its Past Leaders

The civilized world has noticed this, so the number of countries in the anti-Putin coalition is increasing with each step.

The world map consists of states formed due to wars that should not have started. Just think of the two World Wars.

The invasion of the Russian army into Ukraine was just as insane. The attempt to seize Ukraine with a 300,000-strong group was illogical and irrational, as were the massive missile strikes on Ukrainian territory.

Putin used a strategic stockpile of missiles worth billions of dollars. After the third or fifth mass strike, it was clear that it was impractical, but they continued to persist in their delusions. Once again, the set of insanities the opponent commits shows that big politics is driven not by logic and rationality (although such attempts exist) but by waves in the collective unconscious.

In hindsight, explaining the beginning of the war is possible. Still, it is difficult to imagine the scale and consequences of the invasion for those who do not believe in the collective unconscious. The Kremlin has already lost the strategic war and confidently marches towards defeat on the battlefield.
