The main mistake that led to today’s situation is misunderstanding and inability to correctly, competently determine how events will develop?

“And how will Russia react to this?”

And then they forget one thing: the conflict in Ukraine is for them an attempt to achieve a strategic advantage. The attack on Russia is different, from all sides, ideological, military. This is an attempt to achieve strategic elevation.

For Russia, this is a matter of life and death. Russia is defending its life, its state. That is, it is not in the name of any additional benefit. This is a matter of life and death, unlike in Europe.

Because everyone knows that Russia does not threaten Europe. No one, not even Finland, not even Estonia, let alone Sweden. And they do not take into account the fact that when a country defends not just its security, but its ability to exist, it reacts in a completely different way.

In this situation, Russia behaves like a country that feels deadly danger. The same deadly danger that she felt during the Patriotic War.
