    The real lesson from the article, is:

    “that which doesn’t hit one sharply-enough to kill one, IF one is relentlessly adapting, THEN it makes one stronger.”

    Which is exactly why our sanctioning of Russian operations & oligarchs was sooo ineffective: we waited ages before doing it, did it layer-by-layer, & gave them warnings & time-to-adapt, to mitigate the effect of our action.

    Sorry I can’t remember which journalism it was that pointed all that out, but it wasn’t my insight, it was someone else’s.
