Misreading Russia, West drags entire world into Armageddon

By giving Ukraine the green light to strike with NATO-grade 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.
