State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

Step back and see this for what it is. Entertainment for the oligarchs who are bored with the economic struggles between countries as being their main source of winning. Sure they are making money but then grabbing more money is too easy these days. What is challenging is grabbing more power and the way they do it is by betting on the challenges of the “board games” where the outcome isn’t easily controlled. I said “isn’t” easy because it requires convincing men who have ethics to cross the line. Consider these wars like cock fights, major league sports competitions and car races etc. Upping the ante with threats of nuclear destruction makes this fight for power more exciting. They have their fully outfitted bunkers ready to ride out the consequences whether they win or lose.
