    Because you used Russia and USSR interchangeably in your argument

    No I did not, I very consciously made some comparisons to both, and some separately because USA used this tactic successfully against both Russia and the Soviet Union.

    Soviet Union and Russia are NOT the same. But the tactic worked for half a century against them. And can still work against Russia, except if China goes all in on supporting Russia.
