Is The US Planning To Wage An Intensified Proxy-War-Of-Attrition Against Russia?

Trump has escalated actions against Russia, including sanctions and canceling meetings. This signals a potential intensified US proxy war of attrition against Russia, according to the Wall Street Journal. The strategy involves maintaining the balance of forces in Ukraine through continued NATO support. Strict enforcement of sanctions, especially on Russia's partners like India and China, is intended to reduce Russia's revenue. The final element involves inciting unrest within Russia by supporting Ukrainian attacks on critical infrastructure. However, Europe may not sustain financial support for the war, preferring their own military-industrial complex. India and China are unlikely to cut off Russian energy imports, prioritizing their own economic growth. The Russian population is unlikely to engage in serious unrest despite hardships and the security services are strong. Therefore, the US's intensified proxy war is unlikely to succeed completely, though it might inflict some damage.
