“Moscow has developed an immunity to sanctions, while Western industrial weakness is increasingly on display.”
Meanwhile the US economy is doing great and Russia will run out of money by the fall. And with it the ability to wage war. But Russia is an exporter of energy and food so they can hold on. But it’s not the same as doing well.
Written by a Frenchman? Holy hell.

Damn I rarely read such a fever dream of an article. It reads like a suite of schyzo hallucinations where causes and consequences are logically linked until you think about it and realise the link makes zero sense.
I didn't like it.

Broadly speaking, we should use sanctions wisely and not allow Putins idea of a "multipolar" world order come to fruition. We should also invest in the necessary industry domestically to improve our supply chains and footing. Both COVID and the current conflict have highlighted the need for increased defense capabilities and robust supply chains
However the West isn't in any sort of real crisis, Russia and China both are facing economic uncertainty with no clear solution

Krzysztof Tyszka-Drozdowski must be Putin's pen name, or something. This was the most transparently Russian Nazi piece of whiny ass drivel I've ever heard.

This article is a review of Emmanuel Todd’s latest book, La Défaite de l’Occident (The Defeat of the West). It examines many of the factors which have contributed to the decline of the West, the USA in particular, and the likely direction of this decline.
