Misreading Russia, West drags entire world into Armageddon

By giving Ukraine the green light to strike with NATOgrade weapons deep inside Russia, the West is inviting retaliation by Russia and, potentially, nuclear Armageddon. Russia continuously indicates it is looking for a negotiated settlement. These Russian postures, which are very reasonable, are being misinterpreted in the West as a sign of Russian weakness, and therefore the collective determination of the West is that they just continue to pressure Russia, ratchet up the pressure that Russia will fold like a house of cards, and run to the peace table and bring an end to this conflict. That s not going to happen. This is a misreading of the situation by the West.
