> We are in an ideological trap, blaming Russia for everything. The ideological trap is not only related to Russia but to everything. The West uses - as you also point out - ideology for everything: Pandemic, migrations, climate, culture, economics... Those who don't want to play along are blamed. The West thinks it has a leverage over the World Outside of the West but that isn't the case anymore. Both the elites and the people in the World Outside of the West realize it and they are turning away, leaving the West in it's own echo chamber. As I wrote here three months ago: The West is ~1 billion people, the World Outside of the West is ~6 billion. The West needs the World Outside of the West for its own enrichment through robbery and enslavement, World Outside of the West doesn't need the West because it doesn't want to be robbed and enslaved by the West anymore.
