I’d agree with the comparison if, for example, the US attack on Iran immediately brought Russia to war with the US, which triggered Article 5, which got China involved. That sort of domino effect happened the last two times but doesn’t appear to be happening now.

But I’m only 1/3 of the way through the latest Perun video so I reserve the right to change my mind.
