Paul Robinson — Resilient Russia

Replace "Russia" in this article with "Iran" or "China" and the analysis still applies against the conventional wishful thinking and corresponding policy based on magical thinking rather than objective analysis based on fact.

This kind of thinking go the US bogged down in quagmires from Vietnam to Iraq that were costly in blood and treasure.
