Paul Robinson — Book review: Russia’s Response to Sanctions

Important for understanding sanctions as economic warfare. They are neither efficient nor effective unless dependency is high, which Russia's is not relative to the US especially and the West in general.

What is happening is "regionalization" toward the Global South and East, which portends eventually to isolate the West.

Unfortunately, this make the transition from the use of economic and hybrid warfare to kinetic warfare more likely as the US views itself as losing global hegemony as "soft war" fails to work as expected.
